Booked by 15 families in Clayton, CA

Hello families! Warm, reliable nanny with 5+ years of experience available for weekend babysitting and date nights. I’m a caring and experienced nanny who has worked with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I truly love working with children and enjoy creating fun, engaging, and educational activities while helping maintain a safe, happy, and structured environment. I’m currently working with a wonderful family during the week, which I really enjoy, but I’m available for weekend babysitting, occasional care, and date nights if your family ever needs an extra helping hand. I’m also happy to help with pet sitting during the week or weekends, as I love animals and feel very comfortable caring for them. I’m reliable, patient, and responsible, and I always prioritize children’s safety and well-being. I recently renewed my CPR and First Aid certification. I’m bilingual (Portuguese and English), a non-smoker, vaccinated, and very pet-friendly. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help create a positive and caring environment for your children whenever you need weekend or occasional care. References are available.

Hi, I'm Sarah! I am offering child care and household services. I have 7 years of experience providing private childcare. I've worked with infants, toddlers, and children up to 11 years old. (One of them told me I get along well with kids because I'm a child at heart, LOL) I have a nursing education background, and currently working at UCSF, Cancer Research Department. I am also more than happy to watch dogs, cats, or any animal you might have. The more the merrier! :)

“Sarah was a breath of fresh of fresh air! Sarah came to look after my 3 year old daughter all day when she had an ear infection and was home from school. I could immediately tell she was such a warm person, and she engaged with my daughter right away. She played with her, fed her lunch, put her down for nap and played more. When my daughter was napping, Sarah organized all of the toys in the playroom into drawers, assembled a new easel for my kids, and helped my daughter do a painting project when she woke up. Sarah is such a sweet person, was prompt, communicative, and a joy to have here. We would love to hire her again! ”

Hello! I am a proactive, responsible and dedicated nanny, family assistant and household manager. I have 10 plus years of recent professional experience, excellent references, letters of recommendation, and I am currently looking for evening jobs! I love adventuring with kids or interactive playtime at home. I enjoy going for hikes in nature, walks to the park, library or museums, spotting airplanes, wildlife, flowers, great books and art. I also like playing games and doing arts and crafts, building lego creations & forts, playing with dolls and animals, or reading books with hot cocoa on a rainy day. A simple peek-a-boo session, singing ABC’s, practicing counting or tummy time for the little ones:) I have experience providing support with school drop off/pick up, driving children to and from after school activities, homework assistance, as well as household chores, preparing snacks & meals, doing laundry, running errands, dog walking, traveling with the family and overnight care. In addition, I have experience managing and assisting with household inventory, scheduling appointments and communicating with contractors, housekeepers or caterers, organizing closets and calendars, and managing packing lists and travel preparations. I am discreet and respectful of a family’s privacy when needed and yet I welcome sharing a meal with them when invited. I am flexible enough to calmly transition from meal prep to children to dishes and back to children again:) I am very healthy and live an active lifestyle outside of work. I am close to completing an associate in arts degree for transfer. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Booked by 4 families in Clayton, CA

I am a private school teachers aide for special needs children and have worked with kids aged 6 to 18 in this field. Before being a teacher, I was a respite care provider for special needs children. Overall, I have been in the field professionally for 4 years, but have done nannying since I was 15, for children as young as 3 months! (I am now 23 years old) Before this field, I worked in elderly assisted living. I had a variety of pets growing up and am comfortable caring for animals as well! I am passionate, energetic, and think quick on my feet. I can care for multiple children or pets at a time, and I do not tire easily. I also know a bit of conversational American Sign Language!

“Sita was great! On time, very attentive, and great communication. Went above and beyond our expectations!”

Booked by 4 families in Clayton, CA

Hi! I’m an experienced part-time babysitter with many years of working with children of all ages. I genuinely enjoy engaging kids through crafts, board games, movies, or even just a walk to the park. I believe in creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids can be themselves. I’m also a huge animal lover…. I have three dogs of my own that I adore, so I’m more than happy to care for any furry family members too!

“Doris was a great caretaker for my daughters (10 & 12 y o). They loved hanging out with her and had fun playing board games. We appreciate Doris warm personality and her professionalism. We will definitely be hiring her again! ”
