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.

Hello! My name is Joanna, I’m 27 years old and I’m excited to meet your little one(s). I would describe myself as attentive, caring, and very silly. I like to make arts and crafts, play board games, read, and enjoy nature. I’m able to help with homework and light house duties if needed. I’m CPR certified and I have a BLS. I have experience with children with disabilities. I’ve worked with children quite some time now, I started when I was 17 years old. I’ve worked with many different families (short term and long term). I’m very flexible with schedules and I’m comfortable with pets. I worked full time as a certified nursing assistant helping the elderly and nannying as a part time but I realized I enjoyed being a nanny more than my full time job. That is when I became a 1:1 aide at a school. I enjoy working with children because I love to see them learn and grow and they’re always such happy souls. Your children are guaranteed to be in good hands with me! :)

I also enjoy working with children who are in elementary, middle and high schoolers. I have been privately in person and online tutoring for over 5 years. I can tutor in math, English and Mandarin subjects. I like to babysit and meet some new families and kiddos. I can work for the day night, weekends, and school closed for any holidays.

I continue taking Early Childhood Education courses to develop professionally and improve her knowledge.

I strive to create an atmosphere where your child is safe, happy and well- nourished. I’m patient, reliable, committed, and trained in First Aid/ CPR.

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! 😊😊

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!

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!

Hello my name is Charlotte and I have 20+ years of experience as a nanny, former ER nurse, and mom to my two children. I enjoy being active with kids and being outdoors!

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.
