My ability to praise Amanda is limited only by my English vocabulary. She is kind, responsible, and most importantly, truly loving. In every small detail, it’s easy to see that she does this work out of love and the kindness of her heart. She is incredibly attentive to my baby’s development. I can hardly remember a moment when she wasn’t fully focused on him. She is always patiently teaching him to speak, singing with him, helping him play, and encouraging him to interact with others. She has made the sweetest handmade gifts for my baby on special occasions. She has even brought toy when she noticed something he especially liked, and brought her own learning tools to teach him. My son used to be very shy and would cry he met new people. Since Amanda started working with us, his personality has completely changed in the best way. He is now comfortable around others, friendly and confident. Now he is the most popular kid in the neighborhood, and everyone loves him. Amanda is also extremely professional when it comes to safety and always makes thoughtful, careful decisions. When she takes him out to play, she gets along wonderfully with other families, and now people we met through playdates have reached out to ask if Amanda has availability to work with them. That says everything. We feel incredibly lucky to have her!

I’ve been babysitting for many years now, and I have a lot of experience with all ages. I get along great with kids and their parents, and my schedule is extremely flexible! I manage my time very well, and I respect the parents time as well so I would never be late. I am also a very clean person and was raised to clean up after myself, so I will make sure your house is in good condition as well!

JUSTIN C.
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.

Hi! I am a 23 year old recent graduate of NYU, and have moved back to the bay. While at NYU, I worked with a family for two years weekly helping with cooking, transportation, hw help and much more. In addition to that I have worked with many families occasionally as needed. I have tutored, cooked, cleaned, and have lots of experience with bedtime routines for a wide range of ages. I also did a summer internship at a women's shelter where I worked one on one with toddlers. I am about to start a job here in the Bay Area where I will be teaching at an elementary school program. As past of the onboarding requirements I have gotten fingerprinted, as well as TB testing. I have driven a car for 5 years and have a clean record. I have my own vehicle for parents looking for help with transportation! I truly value and appreciate the time I spend with kids, and have learned so much from them. I can confidently say that I will provide a safe, reliable, and fun environment for any kid that I babysit.

My kids loved having Asia watch them! My son said the next day, "Can we have her be our babysitter next time?!" The house was clean and the dishes were done when we got home from our date. She was communicative leading up to the night and then throughout the evening. Definitely would reccomend!

I was an Infant/Toddler Lead Teacher at a Fortune 100 company in San Francisco on the Embarcadero. I have been teaching for six years and have worked as a babysitter since my early teenage years. I am moving toward working with families on a long-term basis. I enjoy working with children and supporting the development of their learning skills through nurturing care and positive experiences in new environments with new friends. I love being silly and bringing joy through smiles and laughter. I am interested in learning more about this opportunity.

Charnette has been terrific to work with. She has baby sat our son multiple times starting when he was 9mo old (He's 2yo now). She really knows kids at that age and was able to connect with him quickly and overcame any stranger-danger. They clearly had a good time together and things went super smoothly. She is always quick at communicating and getting back to us and absolutely on time. We couldn't be happier.
Lisa L.
- 20 years paid experience

I am a Professional Career Nanny and a Newborn Care Specialist. I have been a nanny for precious children for over 20 years. I do not view my position as a job because I truly love what I do- provide nurturing care and love to children. I’m interested in helping children reach their natural milestones and to help them thrive while doing so. My approach with children is a tender, loving one in which the child can feel safe and nurtured. I attended community college classes for Early Childhood Education. I have preschool experience and I was the librarian at my son’s elementary school. I have experience in helping children with special needs. Children are the spice of life!!

Lisa has been a wonderful nanny for our infant son, Ryker, and we feel very fortunate to have her as part of his life. She is exceptionally gentle, patient, attentive, and thoughtful, both in the way she cares for Ryker and in the way she interacts with us as parents. One of the things we appreciate most about Lisa is how intentional she is with him. She treats everyday activities as opportunities for learning and development. She talks to Ryker throughout the day, explains what she is doing, sings to him, engages with him while he is awake, and finds age-appropriate ways to keep him stimulated and entertained. Even routine moments become opportunities for communication, connection, and learning. Lisa is also very capable with all of the day-to-day responsibilities of caring for an infant, including feeding, diaper changes, naps, soothing, and playtime. She is observant and attentive to his needs, while also respecting the routines and preferences we have established as his parents. Just as importantly, Lisa is incredibly easy to have in our home. She is considerate, easygoing, respectful of our space, and never makes us feel as though we need to accommodate her. She has a calm and reassuring presence that makes having someone care for our son in our home feel very natural. We also genuinely enjoy Lisa as a person. We have had many wonderful conversations with her, and her experience and knowledge of childcare have been extremely helpful and appreciated. She shares her insight in a thoughtful and respectful way, without ever making us feel that our own choices as parents are being questioned. We trust Lisa with our son and have been extremely happy with the care, attention, and affection she gives him. We would enthusiastically recommend her to any family looking for a patient, knowledgeable, nurturing, and dependable caregiver.
