Booked by 14 families in Benicia, CA

Hello! My name is Yingzhou.I am a responsible, patient, and caring nanny with over 10 years of experience taking care of children of different ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children can learn and grow. I can help with daily routines such as feeding, bathing, and bedtime, as well as preparing healthy meals, organizing activities and supporting school drop-offs, pick-ups, and extracurricular activities. I believe in positive communication, encouraging creativity, and giving children the attention and care they need. With more than a decade of childcare experience, I understand the importance of supporting parents, being reliable, and keeping an open line of communication. My goal is to make life easier for the family while ensuring the children are happy, healthy, and well cared for. I would love the opportunity to bring my energy, responsibility, and warmth to your family.

As a FTM, I was so anxious about finding the right care for our newborn. But Ying is not just a nanny, she embodies the definition of “mom”. My only regret is not hiring her sooner but we waited until our daughter was around 3 months and will continue to use her into the foreseeable future (Currently she is now 5.5 months). Sweet, kind, gentle and so much compassion. She’s helpful with the baby, around the house and her knowledge in child care is impressive. She speaks canto, mandarin and her English is great.

Booked by 133 families in Benicia, CA

My name is Marisa. I have a 6 month old daughter. I am 38 years old. I have always had a love for working with children. I am also a birth and postpartum doula. I am a lifeguard, as well as a swim instructor. I have completed all of my Early Childhood Education units. I have 38 ECE units. I have my teaching credentials through California. I have worked with special needs children as well. I I am trust line certified. I love animals of all kinds. I also own a pet sitting and dog walking business. I love doing arts & crafts, play dates, hiking, organizing, photography, painting, swimming, laughing, playing dress up, eating healthy, Zumba, hiking, cooking, baking, traveling, ice skating, dancing, and having a good time. I have a very safe and reliable vehicle that I have transported many children in. I have a clean driving record. I'm a non smoker/ non drug user. I feel its most important to truly engage with the children rather then just sitting them in front of a television. I do ask when contacting me and booking me for a particular job that you let me know ahead of time if there is any issue in regards to where to park. CANCELLATION POLICY: I plan my time and budget around the hours booked, I am aware that things come up from time to time, and I am very understanding of this, so if its less then a week notice for cancellation I do ask that I be paid for 50% of my time that was booked. It's hard to fill last minute gigs. Thank you.

Marisa is a warm, caring person - I trusted my daughter (3yo) with her immediately. They took to each other right off the bat, which isn't usually the case with my daughter and new people. She's also professional, punctual, communicative to boot. I couldn't recommend Marisa enough, and will definitely be reaching out to her again!

Maria Grace 1 review
$40 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Grace, and I’m a nursing graduate from the Philippines currently working toward getting my nursing license here. Caring for others has always been my passion, which is why I truly enjoy helping families—whether it’s with child care, senior care, pet care, or household support. Child Care: I have experience caring for children from 10 months to 12 years old, including one family with an infant and three older kids. I enjoy engaging children in fun and creative activities that support their development—like reading, drawing, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I can also assist with meal preparation, light cleaning, and maintaining a safe, nurturing environment. ALSO OPEN TO NANNYING FOR SPECIAL EVENTS (corporate meeting, family reunion, weddings, etc.) TO GROUP OF CHILDREN so parents can have a good time stress-free. Senior & Geriatric Care: I have hands-on experience providing care for elderly clients, including those with limited mobility and chronic health conditions. My background includes assisting with daily living activities such as bathing, feeding, dressing, and medication reminders. I also offer companionship, emotional support, and light housekeeping. My goal is always to help seniors maintain their comfort, dignity, and independence as much as possible. Pet Care: I’ve cared for several pets, including three dogs, a cat, and even farm animals while assisting a paralyzed adult. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and giving basic care for both small and large animals. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and keeping them happy and active. Household Services: I can help with cleaning, cooking, errands, laundry, and organizing. If needed, I can also bring my own cleaning supplies. I take pride in keeping a home clean, comfortable, and welcoming for everyone in it. Caring for people—young or old, human or furry—has always come naturally to me. I approach every role with patience, compassion, and genuine care.

I highly recommend Maria Grace as a babysitter. She took care of my daughter for one year, and during that time she proved to be very reliable, patient, and caring. Maria Grace always made sure that my daughter was safe, comfortable, and well looked after. She was attentive to my child’s needs and created a positive and nurturing environment. As a parent, it gave me great peace of mind knowing that my daughter was in good hands. Maria Grace is trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely kind with children. I am very grateful for the care she provided to my daughter, and I confidently recommend her to any family looking for a dependable babysitter.
