Compassionate Care You Can Count On

Trusted childcare, adult care, and pet watching on the Peninsula

About Veronica

Veronica Philibosian came to the United States from Dublin, Ireland at the age of 23, bringing with her the warmth, work ethic, and easy charm that have defined her career ever since. Trained at Saint Nicholas Montessori College in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, she began her career caring for a family in San Mateo Park, and from there went on to care for families in Hillsborough, Burlingame, and San Mateo — building decades of trusted relationships across the Peninsula.

For more than 30 years, Veronica has been a steady, dependable presence in the homes she serves. She brings the same patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection to every family she works with, whether she is looking after children, supporting an aging parent, or watching a beloved pet while owners travel. Beyond private childcare, Veronica spent eleven years (2010–2021) volunteering at Our Lady of Angels School in Burlingame, where she provided classroom support, chaperoned field trips, and helped coordinate the school's auctions and fundraising events.

At home, Veronica has been happily married for 23 years and is the proud mother of two boys. Her oldest, Dylan (20), is a sophomore at Cañada College where he plays baseball, and her youngest, Liam (18), is a senior at Burlingame High School. Watching her sons play ball is one of her greatest joys. When she isn't at the field, you'll find her on long walks with the family dog, Rudy.
