🌟 Looking for New Families! 🌟 Hi! My name is Brooke. I'm originally from the Bay Area, spent the last five years in Denver, and recently moved back home. I've always loved nannying and babysitting. I have a background in theatre and love being creative, putting on shows, playing games, and using my imagination with the children I care for. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and often joke that I'm a kid at heart myself. 😊 I have an older sister, and when my cousin was born when I was 8 years old, I discovered how much I loved being around children. Watching her grow and spending time with her sparked a passion that eventually led me to nannying, which has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I consider myself highly responsible, dependable, and respectful of others' time. I pride myself on being a strong multitasker, a fast learner, and someone who can solve problems while still creating a fun, engaging environment for children. I communicate clearly, follow instructions well, and always strive to make life easier for the families I work with. One important boundary I have is that I do not provide care for sick children. Unfortunately, I tend to get sick easily, and when that happens it affects my ability to fulfill commitments to other families and responsibilities. If a child is actively sick when I arrive and I was not informed beforehand, I may need to leave. I greatly appreciate open communication regarding illness so that we can respect each other's time and expectations. I value reliability, honesty, and mutual respect, and I look forward to connecting with families who do as well. Feel free to reach out—I would love to chat and see if we're a good fit!
“We loved having Brooke take care of our 3.5 year old son for the day. Brooke was punctual; communicated well with updates; and had a lot of positive energy. Our son was excited to spend the day with her from beginning to end. We look forward to having Brooke babysit the kids again! ”
-Not currently taking jobs unless occasional or one-time care- Hello, I’m Mercedes! It’s a pleasure to connect with you. I was born and raised in Oakland, CA, and I’m Montessori trained for ages 0–6, including Early Childhood Education. I work part-time in a childcare environment, and the rest of my time is spent developing curriculum for children across different counties in California. I’m comfortable working with a wide range of age groups. Part of what makes me effective in my curriculum work is the hands-on experience I gain by spending time with children in both 1:1 and group settings, including preschool. I focus on creating a positive, supportive environment through meaningful activities — arts and crafts, outdoor play, books, and creative projects. I pride myself on being reliable and fully present with every child I care for, approaching each task with enthusiasm and dedication. I’m also fully CPR/First Aid certified and prioritize health and safety in every aspect of my work. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me — I look forward to the possibility of working with your family! Feel free to reach out with any questions. Have a wonderful day!
Hi, I’m Nina. I’m a reliable, calm, and experienced caregiver based in Berkeley and Santa Clara Valley. About Me I recently graduated and currently offer babysitting for families looking for someone dependable, warm, and experienced. I take childcare seriously and bring a steady, grounded energy into the home. Experience I have over 10 years of paid childcare experience with children ranging from 2 months to 14 years old. My background includes working as an au pair on the East Coast, a full-time nanny in San Francisco, and a babysitter in Los Angeles. I’m comfortable with dinner routines, bedtime, bath time, light meal prep, homework support, and caring for multiple children at once. I’m organized, attentive, and responsive to each child’s individual needs. My Approach I focus on creating a structured but relaxed environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. For date nights, I aim to keep the evening calm, smooth, and fun while maintaining the family’s usual routine. My style is balanced, consistent, respectful, and calm. I believe children thrive with clear expectations, kindness, and patience. Outside of work, I enjoy the beach, long walks, and a quiet night with a good book. I also have a dog and a cat, so I’m very comfortable around pets. I look forward to connecting and seeing if we’re a good fit!
Hello — my name is Melissa! I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I am a former elementary school teacher with interests in education/tutoring, reading, and spending time outdoors. My subject matter expertise while teaching was math and science for elementary students, but I have worked with children as young as toddlers up through high school age. I started babysitting and tutoring when I was in middle school and have worked with children throughout college and my career. I am also offering household services such as laundry, house sitting, and pet care.
“Melissa was great - attentive, fun, and positive. Our kids loved having her stay with them!”
Hi! I'm Yalili. I bring a warm, structured approach to childcare—whether it's story time, arts and crafts, or helping with routines. I'm bilingual (English/Spanish), patient, and attentive to each child's unique personality and needs. I also love encouraging little ones' curiosity and supporting busy parents however I can. Whether you're looking for someone part-time, occasional, or backup care, I’d love to support your family with love, structure, and reliability.
