Hi! I'm a reliable and caring mom based in the East Bay who is available from Friday evening to Sunday evening for babysitting, date nights, weekend care, and overnight infant care. As a parent myself, I have firsthand experience caring for newborns and young children, including feeding, soothing, diaper changes, bedtime routines, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable while their parents are away and I understand how valuable it is for parents to have someone trustworthy caring for their children too. I an CPR and First Aid certified, including infant CPR. My availability is primarily Friday evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays, with overnight availability. I also have lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats and am happy to help with pet care if needed while you're away. My goal is to provide families with dependable care and peace of mind. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Simone is excellent. Ive known her for approximately 8 years now and trust her completely. Ive watched her grow from an UCLA undergrad where we met to becoming a professional after earning her masters in Geology from San Jose State. Throughout the years of our friendship Simone has proven consistently that she is a hardworking, honest and trustworthy person in all areas of her life. Ive trusted her to care for my kids ranging from 3 years old to now 11 years old. Simone is an excellent cook. She is also fun, playful and adventurous. She taught us how to camp, ride motor bikes, Native American culture, history and always made us feel like part of her family and ours hers. She is knowledgeable, resourceful, and kind. I highly recommend Simone for all your caregiving needs.
