Evelyn  H., Child Care in Castro Valley, CA 94546 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! ♥️

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.

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.

Maggie worked with us as a night nanny for our 3–4 month old baby. She is responsible, experienced, hardworking, and genuinely caring. You can really tell how much she cares about babies from the thoughtful way she looks after them and how much attention she pays to small details. She follows instructions well while also using her own judgment and being flexible when needed. I always felt very reassured leaving our baby in her care overnight. We would definitely recommend her!

I’ve been babysitting for many years now, and I have a lot of experience with all ages. I get along great with kids and their parents, and my schedule is extremely flexible! I manage my time very well, and I respect the parents time as well so I would never be late. I am also a very clean person and was raised to clean up after myself, so I will make sure your house is in good condition as well!

Kveta is amazing! My cat instantly warmed up to her and I feel comfortable knowing he's well taken care of. She sends photos of how my cat is doing when I'm away and quickly picked up my cat's complex care routine (he has some underlying medical issues).

Keisha was wonderful to work with. She was so kind to let me schedule her with notice just one day in advance. She was very good at managing two toddlers. She was patient and acclimated very quickly. I would highly recommend her and work with her again.

Charnette A., Child Care in Castro Valley, CA 94546 with 7 years of paid experience

I previously served as an Infant/Toddler Lead Teacher at a Fortune 100 company on San Francisco's Embarcadero. Currently, I teach at a play-based preschool in the Piedmont/Oakland area. What I love most about my current role is being part of a program that views families as true partners; we build deep, collaborative connections with parents through daily check-ins and shared community projects to ensure a seamless home-school connection. In our vibrant classrooms and beautiful outdoor spaces, I guide children through an emergent curriculum that lets their natural curiosity and peer interactions shape their learning journey. With six years of professional teaching experience and babysitting since my early teens, I specialize in nurturing the whole child by prioritizing social-emotional development and relationship-building. I thrive on helping young learners safely navigate new environments, build confidence, and make new friends. I love being silly, spreading joy with smiles and laughter, and acting as a true "learning ally" to your child. I am eager to learn more about this opportunity.

Charnette has been terrific to work with. She has baby sat our son multiple times starting when he was 9mo old (He's 2yo now). She really knows kids at that age and was able to connect with him quickly and overcame any stranger-danger. They clearly had a good time together and things went super smoothly. She is always quick at communicating and getting back to us and absolutely on time. We couldn't be happier.

Amanda H., Child Care in Castro Valley, CA 94546 with 3 years of paid experience

I'm a recent college graduate with a degree in Child and Adolescent Development, with a concentration in Elementary Education. Although new to professional child care, I have experience babysitting my nieces, providing engaging activities, helping with meals, and homework. With 3 years of working with students in an after school setting under my belt, I provide fun approaches in my activity prep. Genuine compassion, patience, and understanding are how I stay successful in building connections with children. I currently work part-time at a math after school program where I work with students ranging from grades 2-6. I am flexible in discussing what schedule would work best. Currently I am not CPR + First Aid certified, however I have extensive experience with children of all ages and can becoming certified when necessary. I’m excited to bring my enthusiasm and positive attitude to a part-time babysitting role. Making sure your kids have a fun and safe environment while also supporting your family’s needs. Feel free to message me if you have any questions :)
