Elena marie H., Nanny in San Mateo, CA 94403 with 5 years of paid experience

I am the ultimate babysitter because I am a mother myself! If anyone knows what kids love, It's me. I know how to cook, play pretend, play tag, hide and seek, visit the local swimming pool, swim, teach swimming, read favorite books, take lots of pictures, bird watch, go on day trips, visit museums, the zoo and the list goes on. Being a kid at heart really helps to connect with children. I rarely meet a child who doesn't like me!

We hired Elena to be a full-time nanny to our three month old son. From the start she was extremely professional, on-time, and brought major confidence with all of her past experience. We love her high energy and strong work ethic. She has given so much love and support to the family already. 10/10 recommend hiring Elena

Lynn C., Nanny in San Mateo, CA 94403 with 8 years of paid experience

I’m a thoughtful & caring nanny who has 8 years experience. I adapt quickly into most situations. I love kids & wish I’d have had 5 instead of 2. I’ve worked with newborns, infants, babies & toddlers up to age 15; with 1 child & as many as 4 children at a time. I offer fresh & nutritionally balanced meals & snacks. I handle sleep training if needed, pick ups, drop offs & general household assistance depending on your needs. I maintain kid’s pantry, grocery shop & run errands. I bring age appropriate developmental activities, indoors & outdoors. For example: swimming, mini golf, baseball, beach time, & developmental activities like art, reading, computer, math, legos, & constructive free play. I believe in outings to the parks, museums, movies, & beaches. I’m seeking a great families who need a hand. I am Covid protocol compliant including my vaccines and booster. My varied experience, judgement, patience, energy, education, fitness, & love of play based learning is a great contribution to the right family! Thanks! Lynn - [ ]

Lynn watched our 20 month old for two evenings while we were visiting from out of town. She was attentive, kind, trustworthy, and very professional. Lynn made us feel very comfortable and we could tell right away that our daughter was in good care. We love Nanny Lynn!

We've worked with Kelsy several days this year as a bridge toward a delayed daycare opening. She's helped us both as part of a nanny-share and then as the dedicated nanny to our 4-month-old son. Kelsy is spectacular with kids! We thought our apartment was going to explode the first day of nanny-share (with a 4-month-old and a 6-month-old), but she's very patient and has a number of tricks to soothe fussy infants. She's also great at entertaining children in general and quickly was able to use our Alexa to find a number of good songs to get him laughing. It has also been great to have our son be able to hear some real Spanish and not my broken phrases. And in general, Kelsy is easy to reach by text and email and very professional in terms of agreements, expectations, etc. Perhaps the only con (if it can be called that) is that she is very particular about COVID-19 restrictions, even more so than the CDC would recommend for vaccinated adults as of May 2021. That being said, there are plenty of other respiratory viruses out there - so great that she is so cautious about avoiding getting any of us sick and vice versa!

I have two younger children ages 4 and 6 and she has been fantastic. She has a lot of life experience with children and brings a very calm and confident approach to handling the children. With very little direction she quickly jumped into the flow of our morning routine and helps get the children up, fed, dress and drives them to school. She does multiple drop offs and I am very grateful that she is a very experienced driver. It was always a concern of mine that I would need to work with someone who could handle longer drives to multiple schools. I enjoy chatting with Teresa and am very thankful to be working with her.

We have known Liliana for quite some time. We first met her when our son was three years old, and he is now 15 years old. She served as a babysitter for us for quite some time, including driving our son around the city for a different Sports practices. We have good things to say about Liliana. Now we are using her more for tasks around the house, as our son does not need a babysitter any longer. We, recommend Liliana without reservation. She’s very communicative and trustworthy. We can rely on her to house sitting while we’re gone as well. She’s definitely great with kids and very creatively entertaining them as well. Highly recommend her.

Hello my name is Brenda and I am a Latina female. When it comes to being a sitter I love every part of it. Especially having the opportunity to see the personality of the child, and the amazing person they become while providing a safe, fun and caring environment where they feel safe to be themselves. All while helping them have an environment to grow while fulfilling your family’s needs. A little about me: I speak fluent English and Spanish and I am currently learning ASL (American Sign Language) and am studying to major in nursing. I previously have taken care of kids ages 4 months - 10 years old, and I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified.
