Find a babysitter in Oakland, CA

Hello Parents! Your children's safety is my priority. I am CPR/AED certified and I have a Bachelor's Degree. I have experience babysitting kids (newborn to 12 years old) + I have a daughter, too! I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, I’m Colleen! l’m a San Francisco native and have babysat for over 100 different families here. I've babysat infants and children up to 12 years old, so I have experience with all ages! I babysit for many families who have 3 children under the age of 4 so I am very comfortable managing multiple young children. I also have my own car and I am comfortable driving children. I'm very organized, always on time, and very tidy, so I'm always cleaning up after children. :) I've always loved babysitting and hope to find more families to babysit for!

I am patient and I love to spend my time with kids, I'm very sweet and funny, so I get along really well with them. I'm also creative when I teach. And last but not least, I am very independent, so I will adapt easily.

Hi lovely families, I’m Maria, 52, high energy, artsy and positive thinking nanny with 38 years of professional child care exp. I’ve always had a special connection to kids. They are my people! I’ve been a long term nanny to two sets of twins from two families. The first set from ages 4-14. Next set from 4mos to 3yrs. I’ve taken care of hundreds of children from newborn to 17. I’m extremely proud of my first set of twins having graduated college in 2025. They are my best references;) I also ran a dog walking/cat care business in SF for 13 years. Comfortable with most pet care. I love to spark creativity by helping children discover new things each day through play, reading, music, singing aloud, creative arts and limiting screen time. I’m committed to promoting a child’s physical, mental, and emotional development. ​I supply all the loving care/support (lots of hugs and snugs) while making sure to meet disciplinary and educational goals for each child. Im patient and I maintain an easy going manner but offer children clear guidelines/boundaries that promote positive behavior patterns. I am a native Californian, everyone’s cheerleader, an organizer/cleaner/minimalist, am focused on a healthy lifestyle, am a multi tasking beast, have a pro-active get it done moving forward mentality, creative problem solver, have a big heart, my mom sent me to etiquette school so my manners are on point, have a calm demeanor but goofy sense of humor and can handle being called poo poo all day by toddlers.

Hello! My name is Corinne and I'm a student at CCSF studying to become a nurse. I've lived in San Francisco for three years and enjoy biking, hiking and knitting in my free time. I've been babysitting since I was 14 years old, and have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, and school-age children, in groups or individually. My responsibilities have included leading online schoolwork during the pandemic, and I'm comfortable tutoring and helping with homework. Outside of schoolwork, I enjoy outdoor activities, reading to children, and arts and crafts. I also have worked as a chef, and love to cook for families and teach children age-appropriate cooking tasks if they're interested! I'm CPR certified for infants, children, and adults and certified for Basic Life Support and First Aid. I'm happy to help with clean-up, errands, cooking, and other household tasks. I am also comfortable working with families with pets.
