I’m a reliable and trustworthy mom from Castro Valley with a wonderful ninth-grader. I previously taught at a public school here in Castro Valley, and I hold an active California teaching credential for multiple subjects and special education. I love caring for children, tutoring, and would be happy to support a parent who is homeschooling. I have a clean California driver’s license, full insurance coverage, and I’m certified to drive for field trips at my son’s school.
Hello, my life has always revolved around children. I worked with my local school district for over 20 years as a Chid Aide. The program was designed to improve a child's self-esteem and improve comfortability in a social setting. This was done through interactive play sessions where a child can truly be themselves. Apart from raising my own three children, I have also worked at a daycare providing a safe and educational environment for up to 12 children. Nutritional cooking is also a big part of my life and something I enjoy sharing. My passion is caring for children in fun, educational, musical, and artistic ways.
“Great experience with Alexandra. Very attentive and kind. Would book again. ”

Hi parents! My name is Ligia. If you’re looking for a reliable, responsible, respectful, and energetic babysitter, I’d be happy to help. I have over five years of experience caring for children of different ages. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your child. I focus on clear communication, following family guidelines, and making sure both parents and kids feel comfortable. I’m more than happy to do an interview before the job or answer any questions you may have. I enjoy doing different activities with kids such as playing, reading, crafts, and staying active.
“Ligia was on time, and my son had lots of fun.”
