My ability to praise Amanda is limited only by my English vocabulary. She is kind, responsible, and most importantly, truly loving. In every small detail, it’s easy to see that she does this work out of love and the kindness of her heart. She is incredibly attentive to my baby’s development. I can hardly remember a moment when she wasn’t fully focused on him. She is always patiently teaching him to speak, singing with him, helping him play, and encouraging him to interact with others. She has made the sweetest handmade gifts for my baby on special occasions. She has even brought toy when she noticed something he especially liked, and brought her own learning tools to teach him. My son used to be very shy and would cry he met new people. Since Amanda started working with us, his personality has completely changed in the best way. He is now comfortable around others, friendly and confident. Now he is the most popular kid in the neighborhood, and everyone loves him. Amanda is also extremely professional when it comes to safety and always makes thoughtful, careful decisions. When she takes him out to play, she gets along wonderfully with other families, and now people we met through playdates have reached out to ask if Amanda has availability to work with them. That says everything. We feel incredibly lucky to have her!

Mereema M., Child Care in Pleasanton, CA 94566 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi parents! My name is Mereema, and I’m a dedicated, energetic, and compassionate caregiver with years of experience working with children of all ages. Taking care of kids has always come naturally to me—I grew up helping raise my two younger sisters and have since worked as a nanny, babysitter, and even a kids’ ski instructor. I truly love what I do and strive to create a fun, engaging, and nurturing environment for every child I care for. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids, handling everything from meal prep and bedtime routines to arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, and developmental activities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a reliable car, and always prioritize safety and well-being. Whether it’s reading books, playing at the park, or organizing creative learning experiences, I make sure every child feels cared for, supported, and entertained. If you’re looking for a responsible, loving, and experienced sitter who will treat your little ones like family, I’d love to chat! Let’s connect and see if I’d be a great fit for your needs.

I truly don’t have enough words to express how grateful we are for Mereema. She came into our lives during an incredibly chaotic time—trying to work from home while raising two little ones (4.5 and 2.5) was no easy task, and Mereema quickly became my right hand girl. She is reliable, trustworthy, fun, and incredibly grounded. From the beginning, she stepped in with confidence and care, and made everything feel more manageable. She brought structure to our days and gave me the space to breathe and focus on work, knowing my kids were in the best hands. My son is strong-willed and definitely likes to test boundaries, and while that can be overwhelming for some, it never fazed Mereema. She handled every challenge with so much patience and grace. She knew exactly how to set loving boundaries, stay calm during outbursts, and most importantly—make him feel safe and understood. Mereema wasn’t just a nanny—she became a trusted part of our family. She made such a positive impact on our home, and we miss her dearly. If you’re lucky enough to have the chance to work with her, take it. You won’t regret it. Highly, highly recommend!

Shan is an excellent babysitter. She is punctual, attentive, conscientious and builds a good rapport with children quickly. My son is on the spectrum so he is a handful but she keeps up with him. Shan is playful with him, keeps him entertained and is helpful in getting him settled for lunch. I highly recommend her.

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.

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.

Patricia  S., Child Care in Pleasanton, CA 94566 with 8 years of paid experience

I have many years of experience babysitting various age groups and I have taught science summer programs to ages 5-18. I also have a daughter, graduated from college. I raised my daughter to be involved in extra curricular activities, e.g., photography, sports, tutoring and play dates. So, I understand the challenges of a work life balance. I believe I can provide a caring, creative, educational environment that helps children thrive and become the best people they can be. I currently hold a BS in Biology and studied Masters in Forensic Science. I work in the field of compliance, and I would like to fund my Compliance exam that’s why I’m seeking additional employment. I will do my best to create a nurturing and engaging environment for your child. My Spanish and Portuguese speaking skills are a little rusty, but I may be able to assist with basic Spanish homework. I provide receipts for childcare reimbursement/ taxes. I prefer that we discuss that in advance to make it easier on tracking. My standard childcare rate is $30 per hour * This includes childcare, entertainment or homework supervision, following basic daily routines, standard meal prep and cleaning any “mess” we make as a result of babysitting. For sitting locations over 8 miles from my home there is a $10 on time travel cost, per session. *Additional services can range for up to $40 per hour. Rates beyond $30 account for additional services and requests, e.g., household chores, tutoring, extensive services required for disabilities and pet care. ** I am respectful of allergy concerns, please be aware that I consume peanut products and I own a dog.** I have served as a “Course Life Assistant” to college students on ecosystem and field study trips in Central America. In this capacity, I was responsible for offering basic first aid and CPR, if needed. Although I have been CPR certified. I have driven kids to school and sports via Zum and Hopskip drive (driving kids apps).

Patricia cares for our 9 month old baby. She is responsible, responsive, and has a natural, calm demeanor that puts everyone at ease. Her communication is exceptional. She proactively checks in with thoughtful questions about how to approach new situations with our baby, which not only gives us peace of mind but also allows us to feel included and articulate my care preferences. She is always receptive to our feedback. We find Patricia to be very respectful of our parenting choices. She fully supports and values our decision to breastfeed, creating an environment where I can feed comfortably when I am present. She maintains a calm and alert presence, which is invaluable. We have observed her incredible patience during feedings, which is so important as our baby explores new food. Patricia keeps our baby engaged with age and energy-appropriate activities that are fun and stimulating. She understands that a baby's schedule can change unpredictably and adapts with grace and flexibility. When I am home, Patricia always allows me to step in and care for our baby, whether it's for snuggles, a feeding, or just play. She seamlessly adjusts to my presence. She consistently cleans up after chores and maintains the tidiness of the play areas. Patricia has been a calming and capable presence in our home.

Ivonne has been an invaluable part of our family, and it was with great sadness that we had to part ways due to our relocation to a different city. Ivonne is a knowledgeable, experienced, and compassionate caregiver who has truly gone above and beyond in her role! Her expertise in child care is evident in her ability to establish nap time routines, introduce new foods, manage allergies, and foster the development of gross and fine motor skills. One of the most remarkable aspects of Ivonne's care has been her handling of my daughter's severe allergies and extreme eczema. She paid close attention to my daughter's skin, applied daily creams, and ensured her comfort. Ivonne's nurturing and attentive demeanor provided immense relief and support during this challenging time. Ivonne also managed our household with grace and professionalism at all times, even with the presence of grandparents in the home. She was always punctual and maintained a cheerful and engaging environment for our children throughout the day. Ivonne’s nurturing, caring, and loving nature has left a lasting impact on our family. She has become an integral part of our lives, and we are deeply grateful for her dedication and hard work. We all miss her, and she'll always have such a special place in our hearts and in our daughter's life. I wholeheartedly recommend Ivonne to any family seeking an experienced, nurturing, compassionate, and reliable nanny.
