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.

Jenna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Jenna and currently enrolled as a student at UC Berkeley I've been working with children for the past few years through a variety of roles, including as a swim coach, a STEM education teacher intern, and baby sitter. These experiences have allowed me to work with children of different ages and personalities from the super shy and introverted children to the really bubbly and energetic little ones! In my free time, I always make sure to take care of myself, whether that's going on walks with my German Shepherd, going to the gym, Pilates, and yoga. I also love to paint, draw, and do all kinds of arts and crafts. I go on TONS of hikes with either myself, my friends, or my family whenever I can. I also enjoy cooking and baking. Something families should know about me is that I absolutely love nature and enjoy encouraging children to spend time exploring the world around them. I am also open to anything so just always feel free to let me know whenever!

$38 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in El Sobrante, CA

Hello, my name is Doris. I am currently looking for a new family; my time with my current family will come to an end this June. I am an affectionate and caring person, and I devote my full attention—and all my time—to the children. I always strive to help them in every way possible. I enjoy every new adventure, and I love playing with them outdoors. I prepare their meals, take care of their laundry, and I am flexible and willing to assist with any other tasks whenever possible.

Doris has been an exceptional caregiver to our three boys, including our 10-year-old twins and our 15-year-old. She has been with our family for the past three years since we moved from New York City, and her impact on our family has been immeasurable. In addition to providing loving and attentive care, Doris has managed school pick-ups and drop-offs, taken the children to appointments, stayed overnight when needed, prepared meals, helped keep our home organized, and supported countless day-to-day family needs. She has also introduced our children to Spanish language and culture, which has been a wonderful gift. Most importantly, Doris is dependable, caring, trustworthy, proactive, and deeply committed to the children and families she serves. She has become an important part of our family, and we recommend her without reservation. PS: She is also an exceptional tailor! If you are looking for an outstanding nanny, Doris is truly exceptional. I would be happy to provide a personal reference and answer any questions.
