$40 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Jennifer but I go by Jenny. I have worked with children of all ages since high school when I landed my first job as an assistant at a pre school called Snow White in Oakland. I quickly realized I enjoyed working with kids and have continued to do so ever since. I have cared for infants, toddlers, and multiple school aged siblings. I love spending time reading, playing long monopoly games, and finding interesting activities for the children in my care. I am comfortable transporting kids to school, sports and social activities. I also enjoy going to the zoo, Fairyland, and exploring nearby parks. I have cared for children on date nights, school breaks, and overnights. I am flexible and will try my best to accommodate to the family’s needs. I look forward to meeting new families!

“Jenny is a wonderful babysitter! She has been babysitting our kids on occasion for the past three years. She is very loving and sweet, and our kids really enjoy spending time with her and playing board games with her. I feel comforted that Jenny is very responsible and the kids are safe with her. I highly recommend her as a babysitter!”

Lily $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m 27 and have been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I have experience with kids of all ages and am comfortable caring for everyone from little ones to older kids. I work full-time during the day, so I’m typically available for evening babysitting from around 5–11pm. I’m happy to help with dinner, playtime, bedtime routines, or just keeping everyone entertained while you enjoy a night out! In my free time, I love reading, making art, and staying active and playing sports, and I’m always happy to incorporate those interests into activities with the kids I babysit. I’m responsible, dependable, and love creating a fun, comfortable environment for kids while making sure parents can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

Booked by 1 family in Colma, CA

Hello families! My name is Sophie and I am 29 years old. I’m originally from Germany and live in the Marina with my husband. I‘m offering child care and household services which I have years of experience with. I enjoy taking care of kids and helping them throughout their daily activities. I am an Occupational Therapist and have been working with kids since I was a teenager. I was an Aupair (2[removed]) here in the Bay Area and loved being a part of my hostkids‘ (6 and 8 years old) daily life. I also have experience watching toddlers and taking care of babies through nannying jobs and family. I look forward to bringing support and joy to your home and making your life easier. See you soon, Sophie 😊 - Valid Green Card / Work authorisation - California Driver’s License since 2021

“Sophie was wonderful with our almost-3-year-old. Ollie took to her immediately, and they had a blast together at the park. She’s warm, attentive, and clearly experienced with little ones, and as a German speaker she was a great fit for our family. Communication was easy and she showed up right on time. We’re already booking her again and would recommend her without hesitation.”
