Hello- My name is Michelle. I am currently a live-in nanny for a family in Alamo. I am looking for extra babysitting jobs on Friday nights (after 6:00 p.m.,) anytime on Saturday and an occasional Sunday (as my current job will permit.) I will always keep my calendar current. The children I care for are 13, 11 and 8 years old. I have been a nanny for this family for over twelve years. I have 18+ years of childcare experience plus I am the oldest of 5 children so I have cared for my nieces and nephews as well. I have excellent references that I would be willing to provide you with. I love caring for children of all ages. I enjoy doing all different kinds of things with the children. I am willing to travel anywhere in the Bay Area. I am fully vaccinated and received all boosters for COVID. I have excellent references that I would be willing to provide to you at your request. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hopefully hearing from you soon.

Michelle was great with my infant son. I would definitely hire her again.

My family and daughter LOVED Yenny! She was our nanny for 3 months, from when my daughter was 6 to 9 months, while I transitioned back from mat leave and until we moved out of state. She was an incredible help to my family, taking great care of my daughter especially as a first time mom. She is beyond qualified and has great experience in taking care of children of all ages. Yenny was so warm, patient, caring, gentle and natural with our daughter. My daughter really grew to love her in the time we were together. They developed a great routine together - they would go on walks in the neighborhood, have picnics at the park, play in the backyard or the family room, read books together, play music together, and Yenny would talk to her throughout the day which is great for development. Yenny's knowledge of child development was always so helpful to hear and at the same time she was always respectful of what my husband and I wanted. We can't thank her enough for our time together!!

Booked by 372 families in Danville, CA

Hello! My name is Amary, and I’m 38 years old. I’m the mother of two adorable boys and have 10 years of babysitting experience. During my time as a student in France, I worked as a babysitter, and when I moved to the US, I decided to continue in this field. I enjoy playing various games with the kids and am open to any activity that the parents prefer. Occasionally, I try to teach them French, which I speak fluently. I’m available for occasional babysitting jobs and only accept jobs that are at least 4 hours long. I’m comfortable with dogs, but I’m not comfortable with cats because I’ve been attacked by one in the past. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Best regards, Amary

Booked by 207 families in Danville, CA

Hello! My name is Kassandra, however, I prefer to go by Kassie. (I apologize that video in my profile is old, I will update it when I can). I am a student who works as a waitress as it is accommodating. I am currently enrolled at SJSU as a Psychology major with a double minor in Child Development and Sociology. I’m looking down a career pathway of becoming a Child Psychologist, therapist/counselor, school counselor, behaviorist therapist or something along that path. I love working with children and I want to make a career out of it. I have received AAs in Psychology, Allied Health, Natural Science and Health Education. I love to help others. I’ve always wanted to follow in my grandma’s footsteps with saving lives and making a difference by working in the medical field. I am COVID-19 vaccinated and boosted as well as flu vaccinated. I have also received all my other vaccines. My experience with children goes back to when I first started babysitting at the age of 12. I have worked at day cares where I have experience with children from infancy to 15 years of age. I am comfortable with all age groups. I do not smoke. I love animals as well so pets are never an issue! I have experience house sitting/petsitting as well. I have been house sitting/petsitting since I was 13 years old. It first started out with watching my neighbor’s house and cats while they were gone and progressed to dog sitting/cat sitting at other people’s houses. I am very responsible and respectful of other people's homes. I clean up after myself and make sure the house looks like it did when I arrived.

Hello, I’m Jemma! I’m a credentialed history teacher currently earning my master’s in U.S. History. I have over eight years of experience working with kids ages 6–14 as an outdoor educator and camp counselor, and I’ve also spent several years babysitting younger children. I love creating engaging, hands-on activities and am always looking for new ways to spark creativity and joy in the kids I care for. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and a certified Wilderness First Responder, so your child’s safety is always a top priority. I bring patience, energy, and a deep respect for each child’s unique personality to every babysitting job. Fun fact: I speak fluent Mandarin and have spent a lot of time in Taiwan! Whether you're looking for a date night sitter or weekend help, I’d love to support your family with reliable, caring, and experienced childcare.
