Booked by 1 family in Emeryville, CA
I really enjoy spending time with kids and keeping them busy with fun, creative activities. I like playing games, doing arts and crafts, and painting. I speak Ukrainian and Russian fluently, and I also speak intermediate English.
“I highly recommend Nataliya! She spent quality time painting and doing puzzles with our child, took them to the library, and made sure they were well-fed and engaged throughout the day. Nataliya was warm, attentive, and caring, and we would happily have her babysit for us again.”

Hello! My name is Livia. I’m a 32-year-old Brazilian childcare provider with over 10 years of experience working with children. My journey started in Brazil volunteering at daycares, church programs, and babysitting for local families. After moving to the USA, I served as an Au Pair for 2 years and have been working as a professional nanny in the Bay Area ever since, including long-term roles with wonderful local families. Currently, I am in a career transition while pursuing my studies, which is why I am focusing on part-time and occasional babysitting jobs. Childcare remains a passion of mine, and I continue to offer reliable, high-quality care to families in the area. I’d love to connect, meet your family, and chat about my background or answer any questions you have about me!
“Livia was my sister's au pair. Given we've known her for a long time, we are closer to her than other sitters. Livia is warm, kind, reliable, and great with kids. She is easy to work with and my girls love her. She can take my kids to museums and outings around the city. She connects with kids and keeps them happy! I would book her again no question!”

Hi! My name is Haley and I have been babysitting for about 8 years. I have experience caring for children of all ages. I enjoy spending time with kids, staying active, and making sure they feel safe, supported, and have fun!

Hey families! I’m Rachel, originally from Germany, and I’ve been living in the US since 2023. Watching kids grow, learn and explore the world around them brings me so much joy and I take pride in contributing to their development in a meaningful way. With my previous experience as a babysitter, I’ve been entrusted with caring for children of various ages, helping with everything from daily routines to educational activities and outings. My hands-on experience has equipped me with the skills to handle different situations, ensuring both safety and fun for the children in my care. I’m well-organized, attentive, and nurturing, with a strong sense of responsibility. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping, meal prep, and helping with homework. My fluency in both English and German also allows me to introduce a bit of language learning to curious little ones! I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and support you. Please feel free to reach out—I’m excited to meet you and your little ones!
“Rachel has been working with us continuously for about a year, making breakfast and lunch, driving the kids to school, and doing household tidy and organizing. We have three girls small to big, and she works really well with all their ages as well as wrangling them all together (which is not easy!). She's absolutely responsible, timely, and organized, as well as kind, calm, and thoughtful. We cannot recommend her more highly!”

Hello! I am Amanda and I am a social worker by day and looking to become a family's go to date night sitter. I have experience professionally in the field of social work with kiddos of all ages and developmental capabilities as well as experience as a nanny/ caregiver. I consider myself as playful and imaginative as a sitter usually playing with toys or outside games. I just became a verified children’s yoga instructor so I’m happy to do some fun age appropriate poses with your kids. I am very respectful of family schedules, routines, and helping kids feel as comfortable as possible while their parent(s) are away enjoying some much needed kid free time.
“Amanda was great! I’d recommend. ”
