Find a babysitter in Emeryville, CA

Hello! My name is Jia and I am a recent graduate from San Francisco State University. I have an extensive background working with children, mainly grades K-6th. I have worked at an afterschool/summer program for 6 years (2 years volunteer, 4 years paid), looking after around 50 kids at a time. My roles there included chaperoning on daily park trips and weekly field trips, taking care of lunch and cleanup operations, as well as tutoring on math and English. My top priority is to always ensure the children are safe, but also to add some fun into their day! I understand that every child has different needs, so I’m always adapting and learning as I go. I can assist with cooking/meal prepping, cleaning, and running any errands as well if necessary. I also speak Mandarin and Cantonese!

Hi! My name is Claire and I recently graduated from the University of San Francisco with a Bachelors in communication studies. I have been babysitting since freshman year of high school and also have four years of experience coaching kids soccer both boys and girls ages 5-10. I have loved being able to share my love for soccer while coaching and really enjoy babysitting. I have grown up with dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of them as well. I studied abroad in Italy in 2023 where I interned at a local cooking school and cooking is one of my favorite things to do!

I am a 4th year college student studying Film and Business Administration. While childcare is not my long-term career path, I have always loved working with kids and families and I've been babysitting for families in my neighborhood since I was in high school. I have a warm and bubbly personality, I'm energetic, and love engaging with children through their hobbies and interests. I enjoy portraiture, model-making, and jewelry-making, so I'm great with arts and crafts and creative activities. I'm neat, organized, patient, and happy to help with cooking and cleaning if needed. Additionally, I have pet sitting experience and am comfortable working with/around animals .

Hello! My name is Muwazu and I am a graduate from Mills College at Northeastern University and a current college advisor through UC Berkeley. I have over a decade of experience working with children ages 3-14. Some of my responsibilities included tutoring, bed time routines, carpool/drop-offs, crafts, music instruction, and skating lessons. Over the last 8 years I've had experience in various afterschool programs in Oakland and Berkeley. I was employed as a teacher’s aid in several elementary schools including: Washington Elementary, Mills College Childrens school, and Fruitvale Elementary. I am offering childcare, pet care, and senior support. Child care: I love spending time with kids and getting to know their unique personalities. I have dedicated my degree and career to supporting children’s growth and creating environments that encourages education. I want to be a reliable helping hand and friend of the family. Senior care: I appreciate all members of the family and the community. I understand the importance of punctuality and dependability. Pet care: I have sat (short term and long term) for families with multiple dogs and animals like bearded dragons, snakes, birds, and gerbils. I am comfortable with larger animals as well and can maintain routines with them.

I managed a childcare department at the YMCA in Redding, CA for 2 years and have worked in childcare and nannying for 8 years, half of that being in the Bay Area. I've worked with all ages from newborn up to teenagers, with an large cluster of those being around ages 4-10. Every age comes with its own delights, challenges, and needs, and I enjoy learning the particularities of what will work for each family and child. I love being active and incorporate movement into my care as much as I can, whether that's playing soccer in the yard, turning on music for a dance party, or going for walks or bike rides. Creative projects are also a big part of my life, and I often bring in crafts and hands-on activities. Drawing a favorite object, making a mosaic out of stones at the park, bringing my latest knitting project as a little show and tell -- there are so many ways to engage creatively! My goal is to make sure every child is safe, happy, and feels engaged with. I grew up in a large, formerly Amish family and have been around and watching kids my whole life. I’m a recent political economy graduate from UC Berkeley, currently doing oral history and linguistic work when I'm not caring for children.
