Hi! My name is Payton and I'm currently working as an engineer full-time. I am looking to make some extra cash on the side and enjoy spending time with kids (and animals). I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old and worked full-time as a nanny for two summers for two awesome girls (4&6). I have also worked/volunteered as a soccer coach, in-school translator, and tutor. I can cook, help around the house and run errands where needed. I currently have cats and have previously had a dog and am more than happy to help with any animals.

Hi families, I’m Aisha, a child therapist, expressive arts practitioner, and lifelong caregiver with decades of experience supporting children, teens, families, animals, plants, and community. My approach is caring, connective, attuned, expressive, and deeply imaginative. I specialize in helping children feel safe, engaged, emotionally supported, and genuinely seen. I love integrating art, nature, imagination, sensory play, emotional regulation tools, and gentle structure into time spent together. In addition to my clinical background, I’m also an artist and huge animal lover, so I’m very comfortable in homes with pets and happy to help care for furry family members too. Families often describe me as both gentle and strong, nurturing, attentive, intuitive, and highly trustworthy. I’m especially skilled with sensitive, creative, neurodivergent, queer, or emotionally expressive children, and I value building authentic relationships with both kids and parents. Available for babysitting, caregiving support, creative engagement, school pickups, evening care, and pet-friendly households. Looking forward to connecting 🌿

Hello, families! My name is Dayane, I’m 28 years old, and I’m available to help your family whenever you need. I am happy, organized, and punctual. * Infant-qualified and CPR certified * All vaccines up to date * 7 years of experience, mainly with babies and toddlers * A warm, positive, and caring person

I’m a reliable, warm and attentive 30-year-old based in the Berkeley area, currently transitioning from a career in communications into publishing and bookselling. While I get settled in the East Bay, I’m returning to nannying and babysitting, something I’ve loved and returned to throughout my life. I’ve been caring for children since my teenage years, with consistent experience babysitting and nannying over time. I’m most experienced with children ages 4–12, and I also have some hands-on experience with infants and toddlers. I love being part of a child’s day in a way that feels both fun and supportive, whether that’s imaginative play, helping with homework or creating a calm, engaging environment. I’m naturally organized, communicative and emotionally attuned. I pay close attention to what children need, physically and emotionally, and I do my best to create a space where they feel comfortable, understood and encouraged to be themselves. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as dependable, warm and easy to communicate with. I take pride in being someone parents can trust and someone kids feel at ease around. Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help keep things running smoothly at home! This can include light tidying, organizing, meal prep , etc.

Hi! I began babysitting in high school and have been working with kids ever since. Throughout college, I worked at an outdoor day camp with preschool and elementary-aged kids. Upon graduating college, I got a job working as a science and garden teacher in a San Francisco elementary school, teaching classes about nature, biology, ecology, gardening, and food. I stayed in that role for 3 years and worked as a part time nanny and babysat throughout that time as well. I now work as a massage therapist in Berkeley and miss getting to work regularly with kids. When working with kids, I prioritize play, learning, and connection, but I also am confident in setting boundaries and expectations when it comes to safety and your family's rules! I have training in social-emotional learning and trauma-informed practice and feel comfortable setting those boundaries in a way that still expresses care and connection. If you have a child with music, art, or food interests, I am happy to help out with those! I have been playing jazz bass for 13 years, have spent a lot of time doing various kinds of art (and have led art weeks at camps), and have led cooking classes with kids. I have also played a lot different sports, including ultimate frisbee, soccer, water polo, lacrosse, and basketball, and would be happy to pass a ball with a sport-enthusiast. I am happy to do various tasks, including making dinner, helping with homework, getting outside, etc. I am able to drive and have a car, so I can also pick kids up/drop them off if need be. I am happy to answer any other questions you may have about my experience! Thanks!
