We’ve had Reina with us for two months caring for our 4-month-old, and she has truly been a blessing. She is patient, loving, and so in tune with our baby’s needs. Our little one is very comfortable around her! We trust her completely and are so grateful for the peace of mind she brings. We would absolutely recommend her to any family.

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.

If I could give Elisa 6 stars, I would! I am so happy she has been part of our family's life for so long. She started watching my daughter and my niece when they were ~7 months old and watched them until they went to daycare around 2.5 (and then she watched my nephew until he went to daycare!). Because we were working from home for much of it, we got to see her "in action". She is kind, patient, communicative, and her genuine love for spending time with kids shines through every interaction. She plays, reads, sings, and talks to the kids constantly - all three kids started talking very well very early and I have no doubt she was part of that!! When she started watching the girls, it was early COVID and she was incredibly conscious and safe. When it started to become ease up a bit, she would take the girls (and later my nephew) on outings every day to various parks, sing alongs, etc, keeping them entertained and engaged. She's also never on her phone and doesnt use screens around the kids. My daughter still asks for her to babysit! I love Elisa and wholeheartedly recommend her - she's a treasure and any family would be lucky to have her!

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! 😊😊

Hi families! I bring over 10 years of experience caring for children ages 18 months to 12 years old. My journey began in college babysitting for family and friends, and today I work full-time as a Mental Health/Disabilities Case Manager for a local Head Start program. I truly love my career supporting children and families—it's incredibly rewarding work that has deepened my understanding of child development. I love keeping kids engaged with hands-on arts and crafts, outdoor play, and creative activities that are age-appropriate. I taken great pride in tailoring my care to each family's specific routines and expectations. Whether you need a reliable evening sitter or flexible care on the weekends, my priority is to provide dependable, high-quality care that gives you peace of mind while fully meeting your family's expectations.

Grizel is such a wonderful babysitter! We have a 2yo son that needed a last minute sitter and she was everything we were looking for. Her playful and nurturing demeanor made our son feel comfortable and safe, and we could tell he had a great time with her! Whether it was feeding him lunch or tidying up after playtime, she always made sure everything was taken care of. We also appreciated her punctuality and reliability. We look forward to working with her again in the future.

Lisa is great! She is always on time and communicates in advance about changes or delays. Very easy to work with and flexible. She is also fun to talk to and my 12 year old daughter enjoys the conversations. We are really lucky to have found her.
Violet V.
- 4 years paid experience
- 13 miles
Hello! My name is Violet, and I have 8 years of childcare experience. I have been a nanny exclusively for about 4 years and have cared for kids of all ages, although my "specialty" is with younger ones! I love caring for infants, as I am currently working as a Postnatal Care Specialist, where I take care of newborns and freshly postpartum families. I have future goals of becoming an ultrasound technician. I show up every day with an open mind, empathy, patience, and a smile. I love to connect with everyone in the family. I also know a lot of baby sign because I am learning ASL, which can really help those younger ones greatly with their language skills!

Bonica has been amazing with our sixth grade daughter. She is patient, firm but fun, kind, and responsible. Her varied experience with children of different ages, her teaching and other credentials, and her basic emotional intelligence and good judgment are all clear in how quickly she connected with our daughter and how well she handles the ups and downs of a tween. She has been picking her up from school and getting her to various activities, which has been a godsend for our family. We are grateful for her!

Hi! I’m Katrina, and I’m passionate about providing dependable, engaging, and compassionate childcare that helps children feel safe, supported, and confident while giving families peace of mind. I have over eight years of experience working with children and teens of various ages and developmental needs, including seven years supporting autistic children, adolescents, and young adults in home, school, and community settings. This experience has taught me how to meet each child where they are and create consistent, supportive routines tailored to their individual needs. I currently work as a mid-level supervisor for an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) company while pursuing my master’s degree in ABA. My professional experience has strengthened my skills in communication, patience, organization, safety awareness, behavior support, and remaining calm in challenging situations. I believe childcare should be both supportive and fun! I enjoy games, crafts, homework help, outings, and activities based on each child’s interests and personality. I’m also comfortable with meal preparation and cooking, light chores, and bedtime routines. I’m comfortable caring for two children at a time. For three or more children, or children requiring a higher level of support, I’m happy to discuss your family’s needs and rate in advance to ensure I can provide safe, attentive, individualized care. I value open communication with parents and am happy to learn your child’s routines, preferences, allergies, safety considerations, and any strategies that help them feel comfortable and successful. Because I may occasionally need to respond to a clinical emergency, I may bring my work phone and computer. I would only address work matters when necessary while ensuring the children in my care remain my priority. I have reliable transportation and can assist with school pick-ups/drop-offs, activities, outings, and child-related errands. I’m comfortable around dogs, including my own husky and pug. Due to a cat allergy, I’m unable to provide care in most homes with cats. I’m available for occasional babysitting, date nights, after-school care, or consistent support. I’d love to learn about your family and how I can provide safe, individualized care while making your day a little easier!

Katrina is nurturing, patient, and kind. She has baby sat my daughter over the course of two years. She and my daughter have such a great relationship. I love how she structures her time with my daughter; she ensures my daughter though young, follows a routine and always has activities for her to try. Katrina applies any feedback to her quickly and is always looking to ensure she provides the best quality of care. I really appreciate her help.
