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! 😊😊

Sathiya P., Babysitter in El Cerrito, CA 94530 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello! I’m Sathiya, a cheerful, dedicated, and detail-oriented nanny, babysitter, pet sitter, and family assistant originally from Bangkok, Thailand, now happily based in San Francisco since 2019. With over 10 years of hands-on experience raising my own children and more than 4–5 years in professional caregiving, I specialize in nurturing, patient, and attentive care for children of all ages including newborns. I take pride in creating a warm, safe, and engaging environment where little ones can thrive. My clients consistently describe me as trustworthy, reliable, and thoughtful, and many are happy to recommend my services. I’m currently open to occasional evening (after 6 PM) and weekend roles. Along with childcare, I’m also available to assist with pet sitting, house sitting, and household management from keeping things tidy and organized to managing vendors or overseeing home maintenance. I genuinely enjoy helping families run their homes smoothly and efficiently. I bring professionalism, kindness, and care to everything I do, and I believe in creating calm, supportive systems that make family life a little easier. I’d be happy to provide my resume, references, background check, and vaccination records upon request. Looking forward to connecting and supporting your family with warmth and excellence! Warmly, Sathiya

Karla  G., Babysitter in El Cerrito, CA 94530 with 2 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Karla, and in 2023, I moved to Kailua-Kona with the intent to work at Alakaii Academy, a preschool. This was my first experience working with children, and I am very grateful to Mrs. Pablo for giving me the opportunity to work there with just my caregiver qualification. During my time at Alakaii Academy, I learned more than I had expected. I gained a better understanding of child development and taught the little ones how to socialize for the first time. I have the patience to listen to them and help them make the best choices, such as understanding the importance of cleaning up after play and potty training. In my toddler classroom, I also worked with children preparing for kindergarten, assisting the teacher in communicating with them and maintaining a quiet environment so they could focus on listening. At that age, the kids were learning to read and write their names, so I learned various techniques and used paperworks to help them start writing, incorporating 20-minute sessions of dancing or yoga. I really enjoyed this job; however, the school was forced to close due to building damage. I am a loving and dedicated bilingual nanny with over 1.5 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers, including time as a preschool assistant teacher. I’m passionate about helping children grow through creativity, gentle guidance, and play-based learning. I'm currently looking for a part-time or full-time position with a kind family who values clear communication and cultural diversity. 📍 Available in San Francisco 💼 References available 📝 CPR/First Aid trained and willing to update. Gracias!

Luna L., Babysitter in El Cerrito, CA 94530 with 18 years of paid experience

Hello Families! My name is Luna and I am a therapeutic nanny. What is a therapeutic nanny you ask? Its a childcare provider who is trained and skilled in therapeutic enrichment of kids and therapeutic coaching of parents. Essentially I bring all the fun and exciting aspects of the nanny experience while incorporating therapeutc behavioral support for both kids and parents. I have many years of working with youth in community based work who need support in emotional/behavioral management, Neurodivergent coaching (spectrum, ADHD, PTSD, etc), anxiety management, families who adopted or are fostering, and families who experienced trauma or separation/ disconnection/divorve. My approach is extremely strength-based and my goal is to support your youth in building a healthy confidence/relationship to their needs. How I love to engage in my work is by creating a fun and safe space that also creates a trauma informed and culturally responsive environment where your kids can flourish into their best selves with boundaries and limits tailored to their very unique personalities. I have the capacity to work with big spirited kids along with kids who are quiet/need more introverted time. So let's definitely break out the arts and crafts while going on adventures discovering to insects and plants!

Madeline G., Babysitter in El Cerrito, CA 94530 with 20 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 24 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
