Hi, I’m Andrea! I’m a reliable and caring babysitter with over 6 years of experience supporting families in the Bay Area. I’ve worked with children of all ages—including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids (including twins!). I also spent one full year working with a toddler girl, and I absolutely love helping little ones learn and grow. I’m a former au pair with nearly 3 years of live-in experience, and I’m always looking for ways to continue learning and improving in childcare. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated (COVID + boosters, flu shot, Tdap), and have a clean driving record with strong experience driving children to school, activities, and appointments. I can also help with light cooking, laundry, homework, Spanish lessons, pet care, and more. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to step in when your family needs an extra hand. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

“Andrea was great, my kids had a blast. She even apologized for not emptying our dishwasher because it was running but I never expected her to empty it to begin with. We look forward to hiring her again. ”

Booked by 77 families in Greenbrae, CA

Hi- my name is Adriana. I am a biology graduate at SFSU and I am pursuing a career in Nursing. I have been nannying/sitting for over 8 years now and I have loved it ever since! I have cared for children from infant to teenage years and have gained tons of experience not only from working with children around my neighborhood but also from caring for my cousins and now nephews and niece! I love being able to play and be a kid again and learning new things from children as well. I love walks to the park, playing hide and go seek and even tag! I also like visits to the library and museum. I do ask for a 3 hr minimum payment for cancellations that are less than 24hrs, thank you!
