Adela is an incredible nanny. I highly recommend her as she took care of our daughter from 5 months to 17 months. She is very attentive and goes above and beyond in her day to day.

Hi There! I’m interested in caring for your child/children. I’m experienced with infants/toddlers and preschool/ elementary age children. It’s not easy to trust somebody with your child, but your little one will be happy and safe with me. I provide safe childcare; my references will vouch for me: they love me! I’m attentive to the needs of the children, and can adjust based on what is age appropriate. I do enjoy reading to young children, especially toddlers and pre school age children. Ive taught a few to read before entering kindergarten. I like using flash cards to teach colors, animals, shapes, numbers and the alphabet. Walks to the park, and enjoying the outdoors/nature is also fun.(weather permitting) INFANTS: happy to prepare bottles, feed baby, change diapers, and swaddle baby. I’ll wash all baby dishes, baby laundry, and keep the nursery clean and organized. TODDLERS: prepare meals/snacks, wash toddler dishes, keep play area clean. Happy to do light housework, depending on our arrangement. I’m fully vaccinated/boosted. I’m infant/child CPR certified. Let’s chat, and see if I’m a good fit for your family! :)

We feel incredibly lucky to have found such an amazing babysitter! From day one, Monica has been reliable, caring, and genuinely great with our kids (boys age 2 and 4). Our children absolutely love spending time with her, and it’s clear how much attention and thought she puts into keeping our boys happy, engaged, and safe. Monica helps us in the morning by helping the boys get dressed, eat breakfast, and drives them to school for drop off. One thing that really stands out is how confident and responsible she is when it comes to driving. Whether it’s school drop offs, activities, or outings, we always have complete peace of mind knowing our kids are in such safe hands. She is punctual, attentive, and clearly takes safety very seriously, which means a lot to us as parents. It’s rare to find someone who is both so nurturing and so dependable in every aspect of the job. We trust Monica completely and highly recommend her to any family looking for someone exceptional!

Hello ! My name is Leannah and I'm so excited to meet you! I graduated from UC Davis in 2022 and grew up in the Bay Area. My journey as a babysitter began from a young age, having to watch over my younger siblings while my parent was away at work. I have since utilized that experience to help out many families and have had awesome experiences. I find that children have always connected to my personality and my exciting spirit. Aside from babysitting, I have done all sorts of jobs from cashiering to volunteering at pet shelters to even providing care for the elderly. I’ve always loved being a babysitter. It is the most rewarding and fulfilling job out there. Children are a delightful gift: they bring so much joy to my heart and make every day so much better. Playing outside, playing games and encouraging children to use their imagination is something that I am passionate about. The relationship that you’re able to build with a family is something you can’t really find in the work world. Currently, I am an Elementary School Librarian, and work with kids from all ages (starting as little as 2)! I am open to work over the summer and date nights.

Great with the kiddos. Was fun and speaks right away to the kiddos. Also clear and firm with boundaries, so they know she’s the one in charge. Great at keeping them on track for the evening and guiding the course of their time together!

I hired Sandy as a sitter for my chickens while we go out of town in December. Sandy was extremely responsive, professional, and flexible in our communications and willing to meet prior to our departure to review the chicken care. She demonstrated immense knowledge for caring for many types of animals, and I felt very confident that she would take great care of our chickens. However, I ended up not needing her services this time as my sister will be staying with us and will care for the chickens while we are away, but I will definitely reach out to Sandy in the future and would love to hire her when we have chicken sitter needs in the future.

Hello! I'm Ivonne, a professional nanny with about nine years of paid experience caring for children from newborns through preschool age. I've worked with families of all sizes, including caring for five children under the age of five, and I'm confident managing multiple children while providing attentive, individualized care. My priority is creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I respect each family's routines, household rules, and parenting preferences, and I strive to provide reliable, consistent care. I have reliable transportation, communicate well with both parents and children, and am comfortable administering prescribed medications when needed. My experience also includes caring for children with eczema, sensory processing disorders, allergies, and supporting sleep training. I value professionalism, dependability, and building trusting relationships with the families I work with. References are available upon request. I look forward to learning more about your family's childcare needs and seeing if we'd be a great fit. Side note I don’t travel on vacation with families.

I want to give a huge thank you to Ivonne for taking care of my baby twice a week for the past six months. She is an amazing caregiver who went above and beyond to keep my baby happy, comfortable, and engaged. Whether it was taking her to the park, drawing pictures, or reading to her, Ivonne always found ways to make my baby smile. I appreciated her reliability and knowledge of toddlers, which gave me peace of mind while I was working. I highly recommend Ivonne to any parent looking for a loving and trustworthy babysitter.

Hello, my name is Kuei Mei Chen (I go by Carol Chen). A little about me: I moved here from Taiwan in 1998, and I have five years of experience working as a nanny/caregiver, 3 of which includes experience caring for an infant. I truly enjoy caring for young children. Accompanying them as they grow, watching them from crawling to learning how to walk, to guiding them in discovering the world around them and helping them learn to communicate and speak, I deeply enjoy every part of the process.
