I am a third grade teacher with fifteen years teaching experience. I work at a public school in Oakland’s Glenview neighborhood. I’m a mama of two kids, ages 17 and 20. I have the summer off and looking for some babysitting gigs!
“Erica was friendly, confident and professional, and she easily got into the swing of things with our two young kids. They had a great time with her, and she sent helpful updates as well so we had a nice evening out.”
Hi families! My name is Ella and I am a fairly recent grad from Cal Poly Humboldt, who just moved back to the bay area. I have years of experience babysitting and nannying for all ages of kids and genuinely love working with children in all their unique stages. Whether it's keeping little ones entertained, helping with homework, sticking to routines, or simply being a positive and dependable presence, I strive to make every child feel safe, supported, and cared for. I truly understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in their childcare, and I take that responsibility seriously. I enjoy creating fun, engaging experiences while ensuring children's needs and safety always come first. I look forward to connecting with your family!
Hi, my name is Deverly. I’m currently looking for afternoon babysitting and weekend care, and I’m happy to help families who need flexible support. I’ve been caring for children for about 2-3 years now, not including the experience and time I’ve taken care of my younger siblings, and nieces. I am responsible, patient, and attentive, with strong multitasking and communication skills. I create a safe, supportive environment and enjoy helping children feel comfortable and cared for. My reliability and love for kids make me a strong caregiver. I was also a dedicated caregiver for a woman living with multiple sclerosis (MS) for nearly five years, offering patient, reliable care and emotional support.

“I’m happy to recommend Rakshya as a nanny. She has been wonderful with our child and brought such a calm, positive energy into our home. Rakshya spent time reading books, which our child really enjoyed, and it helped encourage learning and imagination. She is very patient—never annoyed, always smiling, and she speaks so politely and kindly. Our child felt comfortable and happy around her. We never asked her to do any specific things but she did everything on her own. She was also always on time and very reliable, which made things much easier for us as parents. One time, my husband didn’t wake up when she arrived, and instead of leaving, she patiently waited for 45 minutes. That really showed her dedication and responsibility. We always knew we could count on her, and we truly appreciated her caring nature. I would definitely recommend Rakshya to any family looking for a caring, dependable, and gentle nanny.”
Hi there! My name is Zama and I am a nanny, who is dependable and experienced childcare professional with over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, school age children, and teenagers. While earning my Business degree at City College of San Francisco. I worked closely with families, helping not only with childcare but also with keeping busy households running smoothly. From preparing meals, grocery shopping, running errands, to driving children to school and activities, planning schedules and helping with homework, I became someone families could rely on. I would describe myself as patient, flexible, resourceful and calm under pressure. Every child is different, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personalities while supporting their growth and independence. My goal is simple: to be someone parents can trust and someone their kids feel happy, safe and excited to spend time with.
