Lidia C., Babysitter in El Cerrito, CA 94530 with 21 years of paid experience

I have 21 years of experience in babysitting children from babies to toddlers. I decided to became a babysitter because I like to teach children and play with them in order to help them transition and grow in life. I am bilingual and have taught and helped out several children I have taken care of with Spanish. I am CPR certified and have plenty of good references. I'm a mother of three so I just love children of all ages, but especially babies.

Madeline G., Babysitter in El Cerrito, CA 94530 with 26 years of paid experience

Hello Parents! I live with passion and I share a great deal of it within the scope of my compassion when caring for children and getting the opportunity to be a part of family/families in caregiving. Youth have been a part of my life in some capacity for nearly moving into 26 years. Notably, I have cared in the private caregiving sector consistently for the past ~13 years in SF (native, Bay Area-San Mateo- SJ-East Bay-Peninsula with experience working within those areas). My experience ranges from Infants/toddlers are my specialty. Experience with share, multiples, twins, and special need care in the classroom/clincial, 1:1 in home (ASD/ABA therapy trained Behavior Technician Paraprofessional). I enjoy incorporating my love for music training/painting, health education (PH) background and incredible joy for the outdoors while working with youth. I consider myself loyal, honest, dedicated, giving, loving, consistent, confident, patient, reliable and kind. I love to laugh and smile, value healthy communication and reach far beyond my responsibilities. I view my part as a nanny/caregiver is such like a village with a family/families and I hope I can find a new family/families that would humbly know how special your children/child would be in my life, on a daily basis. I have a wealth of unconditional love to give children and as a nanny I’m honored to be able and share it amply, able to assist in as a step in parent, and part teacher as well. I practice positive parenting methods, strong subscriber to 100% limited to no-screen time which stem from my Montessori roots. I enjoy play based learning, inside and out! Individual growth is the best! I am extremely knowledgeable of amazing resources (no cost and many others across the scale) all across SF neighborhoods (including the Peninsula and South Bay extremely well) to fully provide and assist to foster children so they blossom into their own individual, special selves. “Assist in bringing out their own colors.” Warmest Regards to your family, Madeline/Maddy

Karla  G., Babysitter in El Cerrito, CA 94530 with 3 years of paid experience

Hello local families! My name is Karla, and I’m excited to connect with you. I have been living in San Francisco for the past year, and before that, I lived on the Big Island of Hawaii (Kona), where I gained valuable experience working with children and families. In Kona, I worked as an assistant preschool teacher for over a year (both full-time and part-time). I also worked as a swimming guide in Kealakekua Bay and as a sailor working with manta rays, which strengthened my love for nature, the ocean, and outdoor activities. Since moving to San Francisco, I have continued working with families, supporting children through activities such as swimming, outdoor play, playground visits, Golden Gate Park outings, beach days, and overall safety and care. I am currently working as a babysitter for a family at an AI company under contract. I am available on weekdays for 2–3 days and can provide strong references from families and supervisors upon request. I have been living in the United States for the past 5 years. I was born and raised in Aguascalientes and Cancun, Mexico. I truly enjoy living an active and simple lifestyle. My hobbies include water sports, and I love sailing on weekends. I value a clean, organized environment and enjoy helping others. I also like volunteering with non-profit organizations. When working with children, I focus on helping them grow with confidence and kindness. I encourage good decision-making, focus, and independence by guiding them to complete one task at a time. I also love teaching children to connect with nature, practice calmness through breathing, enjoy reading, play creatively, and follow healthy routines with care and consistency. Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I would love to connect and support your family! Warmly, Karla Looking for temporary jobs. 📍 Available in San Francisco 💼 References available 📝 CPR/First Aid trained and willing to update. Gracias!

Natalie  V., Babysitter in El Cerrito, CA 94530 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Natalie and am 25 years old. I'm an experienced babysitter with 10+ years of experience who has a passion for child care with a goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. received my bachelor's of science in nursing this past May at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland and am currently finding occasional babysitting jobs as I study for my state board exam. I wanted to go into nursing because I have always enjoyed helping people. I have always enjoyed working with children, which is why I chose pediatric nursing and why I have always gravitated to childcare jobs. My mom and grandmother owned a daycare for 13 years of my life and I was a big help, so I have experience taking care of newborns all the way to teenagers. I have volunteered during the summer at many camps as a youth counselor. During the pandemic I worked through zoom to provide one on one care with children that needed homework assistance or just virtual playtime. I have worked as an after school instructor at my local elementary school, where I am currently working. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and sport practices, crafts, bedtime routines, and tutoring. I can also clean, tidy up the house and run errands if needed. My main goal is to always make sure children are having fun in an educational way and providing a safe environment for them. I am a big fan of arts and crafts so I always carry crafts around me in case a fun little activity can be done. I also love pets and take care of them as well! I have had many hamsters, cats, dogs, chinchillas, etc...so I am fine with giving them my extra care. I am also bilingual and speak English and Spanish fluently, and wouldn’t mind giving a little Spanish lesson every now and then. I like to her walk my dogs, do puzzles, and watch movies in my spare time. I am fully vaccinated and CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you! 😊😊

Michelle B., Babysitter in El Cerrito, CA 94530 with 1 year of paid experience

I love baby sitting because the act of taking care of children thoroughly opens up your heart chakra! As a teen, I did lots of babysitting; I have taken care of 5 children, and 1 disabled adult. I can also cook, clean, and do laundry, as well as sing, dance, and play several musical instruments. I speak American English, British English (I have an English accent), French (B2), Spanish (B1), and a little bit of Hindi, and Arabic... I am transgender (socially, physically, and legally transitioned). I love being around children, for what better way is there to connect with that vibe that is the whole reason why I transitioned in the first place! Salam Alaikum, Hail to the Goddess, Jay Devi, Blessed Be!

Dania K., Babysitter in El Cerrito, CA 94530 with 25 years of paid experience

Hello! I'm a dedicated childcare provider with over 25 years of paid experience, specializing in infant care and children from first grade and up. As a mother to a wonderful 20-year-old daughter, I understand firsthand the trust parents place in caregivers, and now that my own child is grown, I'm excited to share my passion for nurturing young minds. My previous family trusted me for 16 wonderful years until their children outgrew needing care, which speaks to my reliability and the meaningful relationships I build with families. I'm comfortable with all aspects of infant care including feeding, diaper changes, and sleep routines, and I love engaging elementary-age children with homework help and age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and creativity. I believe in creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel secure and happy while maintaining open communication with parents about their child's day. My extensive experience means I can handle any situation with confidence and calm, and I'm committed to respecting each family's unique parenting style and household rules. I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your family's needs and would love the opportunity to meet you and discuss how I can support your childcare needs. References available upon request.
