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.

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!

JUSTIN C.
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.

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!

She knows what she is doing! Child care expert I would say. We hired her to watch my 10 week old and my best friend's 6 week old for a few hours. She handled both babies expertly. I can't say enough good things about her. I will be using her services again.

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).

Hi! I am a 23 year old recent graduate of NYU, and have moved back to the bay. While at NYU, I worked with a family for two years weekly helping with cooking, transportation, hw help and much more. In addition to that I have worked with many families occasionally as needed. I have tutored, cooked, cleaned, and have lots of experience with bedtime routines for a wide range of ages. I also did a summer internship at a women's shelter where I worked one on one with toddlers. I am about to start a job here in the Bay Area where I will be teaching at an elementary school program. As past of the onboarding requirements I have gotten fingerprinted, as well as TB testing. I have driven a car for 5 years and have a clean record. I have my own vehicle for parents looking for help with transportation! I truly value and appreciate the time I spend with kids, and have learned so much from them. I can confidently say that I will provide a safe, reliable, and fun environment for any kid that I babysit.

My kids loved having Asia watch them! My son said the next day, "Can we have her be our babysitter next time?!" The house was clean and the dishes were done when we got home from our date. She was communicative leading up to the night and then throughout the evening. Definitely would reccomend!

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.

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 :)
