Gabrielle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Gabrielle. I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable person who genuinely loves spending time with children. I’ve been involved in my church’s children’s ministry since I was a teenager, caring for children of all ages—from just a few months old through high school. Over the years, that experience has taught me how to connect with different personalities and age groups, keep children engaged, manage routines, and create an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and happy to help with age-appropriate activities, simple meals or snacks, and light household tasks. I’m also very comfortable around pets. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in the person caring for their children, so I take safety, communication, reliability, and trust very seriously. I truly love kids and would be happy to become someone your family can depend on.

Gabriela $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Benicia, CA

Hi Families! My name is Gaby, and I’m currently offering occasional nanny/babysitting and mother’s helper support for families who need reliable, experienced extra hands. I am a stay-at-home mom and a professional nanny with over 8 years of dedicated childcare experience, specializing in infants and toddlers. Caring for children has always been a true passion of mine, and I’ve had the privilege of building long-term relationships with families who value consistency, trust, and quality care. My caregiving style is Montessori-inspired, with a strong focus on independence, creativity, and emotional security. I prioritize little to no screen time and believe in hands-on, engaging activities that support motor development, language growth, and confidence-building. Our time together often includes sensory play, music, outdoor exploration, practical life skills, and age-appropriate learning experiences. As a mom myself, I deeply understand how important it is to feel fully comfortable with the person caring for your child. I strive to create a calm, nurturing, and structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. I am currently available for occasional care, date nights, backup care, and mother’s helper support. I work independently and am committed to providing focused, attentive care tailored to your family’s needs. I look forward to connecting and learning how I can support your family’s needs. Warmly, Gaby

Simone $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello My name is Simone, I’m a 21 year old student who just graduated from Diablo valley College with a certification in early childhood education. My experience includes volunteering in a Montessori preschool and volunteering in an occupational therapy clinic for children with disabilities. The ages I have the most experience with are Preschoolers from ages 3-10. I also have babysitted a couple of clients in the past. I believe I am fit to be a babysitter because I like doing arts and crafts with the children and reading books to them. Some tasks that I am able to perform is helping with making meals, light household work, helping getting ready for bedtime, and homework help (if it’s not math). I also have a calm but clear demeanor when comes to working with challenging behavior. I can’t wait to meet you and your child!

Gwen $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Gwen, and I'm genuinely passionate about working with children. As an early childhood education professional, I absolutely love creating fun, safe, and nurturing spaces where kids can truly thrive. My experience as a TK/Kinder classroom leader and an assistant teacher at a preschool has given me hands-on skills in engaging young learners and supporting their growth. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your little ones are in capable hands. I'm also currently studying Early Childhood Studies at Sonoma State University, which means I'm always learning new ways to support children's development and make our time together enriching and engaging. I'm excited for the opportunity to build positive relationships with both your children and your family!
