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!

Hi, my name is Priscilla. I graduated from University of California, Davis where I studied Human Development and Education. I enjoyed working with children. I have been teaching in preschool (age 7 months to 5 years old) for over 12 years as my full time job in a Montessori school. 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 have a high level of bilingual proficiency in Chinese and English. I am holding the California Child Development Site Supervisor Permit. 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. Resume and references available upon request, and I’m available to travel domestically and internationally.

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.
Violet V.

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!

Violet is an absolute joy! My kids love her and are always excited to her. She is VERY punctual, well-spoken and kind. She asks questions when she is unsure and respects all of our wishes. We could not recommend her more!

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.

I am a Professional Career Nanny and a Newborn Care Specialist. I have been a nanny for precious children for over 20 years. I do not view my position as a job because I truly love what I do- provide nurturing care and love to children. I’m interested in helping children reach their natural milestones and to help them thrive while doing so. My approach with children is a tender, loving one in which the child can feel safe and nurtured. I attended community college classes for Early Childhood Education. I have preschool experience and I was the librarian at my son’s elementary school. I have experience in helping children with special needs. Children are the spice of life!!

Lisa has been a wonderful nanny for our infant son, Ryker, and we feel very fortunate to have her as part of his life. She is exceptionally gentle, patient, attentive, and thoughtful, both in the way she cares for Ryker and in the way she interacts with us as parents. One of the things we appreciate most about Lisa is how intentional she is with him. She treats everyday activities as opportunities for learning and development. She talks to Ryker throughout the day, explains what she is doing, sings to him, engages with him while he is awake, and finds age-appropriate ways to keep him stimulated and entertained. Even routine moments become opportunities for communication, connection, and learning. Lisa is also very capable with all of the day-to-day responsibilities of caring for an infant, including feeding, diaper changes, naps, soothing, and playtime. She is observant and attentive to his needs, while also respecting the routines and preferences we have established as his parents. Just as importantly, Lisa is incredibly easy to have in our home. She is considerate, easygoing, respectful of our space, and never makes us feel as though we need to accommodate her. She has a calm and reassuring presence that makes having someone care for our son in our home feel very natural. We also genuinely enjoy Lisa as a person. We have had many wonderful conversations with her, and her experience and knowledge of childcare have been extremely helpful and appreciated. She shares her insight in a thoughtful and respectful way, without ever making us feel that our own choices as parents are being questioned. We trust Lisa with our son and have been extremely happy with the care, attention, and affection she gives him. We would enthusiastically recommend her to any family looking for a patient, knowledgeable, nurturing, and dependable caregiver.

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.
