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.

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!

My wife and I began our search for a nanny when our daughter turned five months old, focusing on candidates from Hayward, Castro Valley, and San Leandro. After conducting numerous interviews, we were fortunate to connect with Tazun. From our initial phone conversation, Tazun exuded professionalism and a genuine affection for children, traits that were even more apparent when we met her in person. These qualities immediately stood out, making her a promising candidate to care for our daughter, Ariana. Over the past five months, Tazun has been Ariana's exceptionally attentive and caring nanny. She engages in various activities that promote her growth and development, including reading, playing, and teaching her basic self-care skills like cleaning and feeding. Tazun's dedication is reflected in every interaction, creating a warm, nurturing environment supporting our child's well-being. Her commitment to Ariana's development and her loving nature have made her an important part of her life and ours, as Tazun helps ensure that whatever we are focusing on for Ariana's development is a priority. An example would be the work that Tazun has been doing with Ariana's crawling and verbal skills. Moreover, Ariana's excitement each morning at seeing Tazun is a testament to their special bond and the joy Tazun brings to her day. In addition to her caregiving skills, Tazun's professionalism is of the highest standard. She is always punctual, arriving ten minutes early to prepare for the day, which ensures she is fully focused on Ariana's needs right from the start. Her reliability and steadfast commitment to her role give us tremendous peace of mind and underscore her value as a caregiver. As working parents, her dependability is incredibly important to us. Tazun is truly a remarkable nanny whose professional demeanor and heartfelt passion for childcare make her an ideal choice for any family seeking quality care for their children. We are fortunate to have Tazun as Ariana's nanny and highly recommend her for families to consider.

Patricia  S., Babysitter in San Lorenzo, CA 94580 with 8 years of paid experience

I have many years of experience babysitting various age groups and I have taught science summer programs to ages 5-18. I also have a daughter, graduated from college. I raised my daughter to be involved in extra curricular activities, e.g., photography, sports, tutoring and play dates. So, I understand the challenges of a work life balance. I believe I can provide a caring, creative, educational environment that helps children thrive and become the best people they can be. I currently hold a BS in Biology and studied Masters in Forensic Science. I work in the field of compliance, and I would like to fund my Compliance exam that’s why I’m seeking additional employment. I will do my best to create a nurturing and engaging environment for your child. My Spanish and Portuguese speaking skills are a little rusty, but I may be able to assist with basic Spanish homework. I provide receipts for childcare reimbursement/ taxes. I prefer that we discuss that in advance to make it easier on tracking. My standard childcare rate is $30 per hour * This includes childcare, entertainment or homework supervision, following basic daily routines, standard meal prep and cleaning any “mess” we make as a result of babysitting. For sitting locations over 8 miles from my home there is a $10 on time travel cost, per session. *Additional services can range for up to $40 per hour. Rates beyond $30 account for additional services and requests, e.g., household chores, tutoring, extensive services required for disabilities and pet care. ** I am respectful of allergy concerns, please be aware that I consume peanut products and I own a dog.** I have served as a “Course Life Assistant” to college students on ecosystem and field study trips in Central America. In this capacity, I was responsible for offering basic first aid and CPR, if needed. Although I have been CPR certified. I have driven kids to school and sports via Zum and Hopskip drive (driving kids apps).

Patricia cares for our 9 month old baby. She is responsible, responsive, and has a natural, calm demeanor that puts everyone at ease. Her communication is exceptional. She proactively checks in with thoughtful questions about how to approach new situations with our baby, which not only gives us peace of mind but also allows us to feel included and articulate my care preferences. She is always receptive to our feedback. We find Patricia to be very respectful of our parenting choices. She fully supports and values our decision to breastfeed, creating an environment where I can feed comfortably when I am present. She maintains a calm and alert presence, which is invaluable. We have observed her incredible patience during feedings, which is so important as our baby explores new food. Patricia keeps our baby engaged with age and energy-appropriate activities that are fun and stimulating. She understands that a baby's schedule can change unpredictably and adapts with grace and flexibility. When I am home, Patricia always allows me to step in and care for our baby, whether it's for snuggles, a feeding, or just play. She seamlessly adjusts to my presence. She consistently cleans up after chores and maintains the tidiness of the play areas. Patricia has been a calming and capable presence in our home.

Saima is a very reliable, warm and energetic nanny/sitter. She helped us with our 10 month old daughter, who absolutely LOVED her. She was always on-time and very communicative. She is genuinely a very kind and sweet nanny and entertained our baby with her full attention. Would not hesitate to hire her again.

Hello my name is Brenda and I am a Latina female. When it comes to being a sitter I love every part of it. Especially having the opportunity to see the personality of the child, and the amazing person they become while providing a safe, fun and caring environment where they feel safe to be theirselves. All while helping them have an environment to grow while fulfilling the family’s needs. A little about me: I speak fluent English and Spanish and I am currently learning ASL (American Sign Language) and am studying to major in nursing. I previously have taken care of kids ages 8 months - 9 years old, and I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified.
