Sathiya P., Babysitter in Oakland, CA 94611 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

Evelyn  H., Babysitter in Oakland, CA 94611 with 7 years of paid experience

About Me Hi! My name is Evelyn and I’m an experienced educator with over a decade of working with children. I have a deep passion for childcare and education, and I love creating fun, engaging, and nurturing environments where kids can learn, explore, and grow. Whether it’s through imaginative play, hands-on activities, outdoor adventures, or storytime, I believe in making every moment meaningful and enjoyable. As a fun-loving, caring, and patient caregiver, I understand the importance of building strong connections with children and families. I take pride in creating a safe and structured environment while also allowing kids to express themselves, be creative, and develop important life skills. From helping with daily routines to keeping little ones engaged with enriching activities, I strive to make the babysitting experience both enjoyable and stress-free for parents. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to support families who value a multilingual environment for their children. Whether it’s introducing new vocabulary through play or reinforcing language skills in a natural way, I enjoy incorporating both languages into daily interactions. Beyond my love for working with children, I enjoy traveling, hiking, and exploring the Bay Area. I love discovering new parks, museums, and cultural spots, as well as trying out different food places. I bring that same curiosity and enthusiasm into my childcare approach—encouraging kids to explore, learn, and have fun along the way. I would love the opportunity to connect with you and see how I can support your family’s needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones! ♥️

Luna L., Babysitter in Oakland, CA 94611 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!
