Loving Grandmother Experienced Nanny/Babysitter

Responds within minutes

I have been providing child care for most of my life. I have had the honor of helping to raise my two grandchildren for the past 15 years including weekend babysitting. While they were in school, I worked in the cafeteria, was a substitute crossing guard, and also the playground supervisor. I believe that the first few years in the life of a child are the most important years as they learn, discover, and associate with people and the world around them. I then began helping two local moms by driving their three elementary boys to and from school. Then I was a nanny for a premie from two months to 2-1/2 years and she started preschool. I have references available and was fingerprinted by the FBI and passed extensive background check to work for the San Ramon School District. My TB testing and CPR are also current.

My husband and I are first time parents and you can imagine the anxiety we both felt having to leave our baby in the hands of a nanny. We interviewed several candidates and selected Carol based on her experience working with infants, similar values in raising children, flexibility with our schedule, and passing research/background check. Carol took care of my daughter from 2 months through 2.5 years. She always came to work on time, was dependable, and was instrumental with helping my baby reach important milestones. In fact, everyone that meets my daughter is amazed with how advanced she is with her vocabulary and motor skills. I believe it's all the love, attention, and care my baby received under Carol's watch. My husband and I will be forever grateful for the positive impact she made with us and my daughter. I would hire Carol again in a heartbeat! Any family that hires her will be blessed to have her in their lives.

Seeking Full Time Or Part Time Nanny/Babysitting Opportunities!

Responds within minutes

I spent countless hours babysitting, pet sitting and house sitting for various families in the neighborhood I lived in. That being said, over the last 15 years, I have cared for children from infancy to 13 years old and love being able to spend time with young minds. My friends would describe me as reliable, caring, and trustworthy. In my free time, I enjoy reading, going for walks, hanging with friends and traveling. I'm looking for a job that allows me to be myself and have a positive impact on a child's life. Growing up, my family had a regular babysitter who my siblings and I absolutely adored. She was so much fun and truly cared about us and our development. I cherish the memories that we made with her at such an early age. That being said, I want to be that person for someone else's family!

Lisa helped take care of our daughter for 6 months (3 months-9 months). We originally had planned on keeping her on for much longer, but a change in circumstances made us cut our time with her short. She was absolutely wonderful with our daughter. Every time Lisa came to the house our daughter would get so excited to see her. Lisa took her on walks, played music and games with her, and would give her a bath every time she watched her. We could tell that Lisa really cared about our baby girl. We fully trusted Lisa with our daughter and are truly sad that we won't be seeing her every other day any longer. I highly recommend her!! (She was also great with our dog!)

All references will be provided upon request. I have a college degree and 9 years of experience with children from newborns- to school age children. I have vast knowledge of remote learning, fluent in Spanish and willing to drive. I have my own car and willing to travel abroad. Children behaviors could differ from one child to another and learning to know each child, it's pivotal for me in order to be able to provide the right care and guidance that the child may need. My experience with children entails to be extremely communicative with the parents. Nannies and parents play an important role in the physical and emotional development of the children. Therefore, I can proudly say that all the families I have worked for have trusted me and consider me as another family member. I am willing to pass a background check, drug test, and test for Covid every two weeks if required. I take extremely precautions when it comes to disinfecting areas and washing hands often.

I have 20 years experience as a sitter/nanny, ages newborn to 11 years old. I am CPR certified. I am very reliable and have my own transportation. I have been hoping to find another infant to take care of since the child I was a nanny for moved to another state. I watched her from newborn to 13 months old. I think I would be a good fit for you and your family. I love children. References are provide upon request. An update 1/17/19, for the past five years I was fortunate to find and stay with a new family. I started with a 2 1/2-month-old boy and when they moved for a promotion they had three children that I enjoyed spending days with them doing many varied activities. Also during this five years I have been baby sitting for three other families for date nights, doctors appointments, etc., I'm hoping to find a new family with an infant that I can share my experience and help them grow, learn, and have fun experiences. new references available.

As parents, it is very important to us that we are able to leave our children in the care of someone whom we know and they love and trust; but also, someone whom we as parents love and trust. Julie is always wonderful about keeping us informed of where she and the girls are and asking us if we are okay with her taking them to go swimming, to the park, or for ice cream. And, we can always count on getting texts letting us know when Julie leaves somewhere with the girls and when she arrives to their destination safely. Julie is punctual, responsible, intuitive, professional and delightful. We highly recommend Julie as a caregiver and nanny without question or hesitation. Truly, any family who is able to secure Julie's services should consider themselves incredibly lucky. She is not just someone who takes care of the children, she's a wonderful partner in helping to raise children healthfully, happily and lovingly.

FAQs for finding a babysitter

What is a babysitter?
A babysitter is someone you can hire to temporarily care for children. It’s common to hear a babysitter referred to as a “sitter”. There are many babysitter duties that a babysitter can take on such as helping with homework, light cleaning, supervising swimming, or driving the kids to after school activities. Babysitters can help take care of children of all ages.
How much do babysitters charge?
The average rate for babysitters on Care.com as of April, 2024 is $18.25 per hour. A babysitter’s rate will fluctuate depending on where you live, the babysitter's level of experience, and the number of children they will look after. Other factors that can also influence the cost of care include the need for additional babysitter duties, specialized care, and overnight care. The Care.com childcare calculator can help you calculate your child care costs.
What’s the difference between a nanny vs babysitter?
How do you know when you want to find a nanny or a babysitter? This depends on your caregiving needs. Nannies usually have more responsibilities than a babysitter does and often earn a consistent weekly or monthly salary, whereas you typically hire babysitters on an as-needed basis. Families who need consistent care during the workweek will likely want to hire a nanny and may hire a separate sitter to watch their children on the occasional night or weekend. If you’re looking for a nanny or babysitter, Care.com can help you find someone trustworthy.
Are babysitters background checked?
Babysitters on Care.com are asked to complete an annual background check called a CareCheck. Sitters who complete this background check will have a badge on their profile displaying the date we ran the background check. While CareCheck is a good start, we strongly recommend that you take additional steps to hire a babysitter safely, such as interviewing candidates, checking references, and running your own background check. Visit our Safety Center to learn more.
