Booked by 55 families in Piedmont, CA

Hi, my name is Theresa! I’m an artist, violinist, psychology undergrad, and aspiring marriage and family therapist. I’ve been: • Babysitting for four years with ALL ages, infants and older! • A reading mentor to develop reading skills in younger children • A behavioral therapist/counselor who works with neurodivergent youth • An assistant/helper doing chores and other tasks • A pet sitter for both dogs and cats CPR/BLS certified with American Heart Association. Clean driving record and owns a car. Fully vaccinated and will wear a mask if necessary! Can provide recommendations. I’m an easygoing, gentle, and kind person. I have a very calm demeanor. I’m extremely patient with kids and really do love them, despite the challenges that can come with babysitting. They’re so sweet, and never fail to make me laugh or smile. My favorite things to do with kids are: • Outings • Drawing • Reading • Games (i love minecraft and a lot of nintendo games) • Naps (who doesn’t like nap time?)

“Our 15 month old took to Theresa very quickly! She read with him and they played together while they got comfortable and then they did the whole bedtime routine. She was conscientious about safety, following our house guidelines and routine, and very sweet with him. We look forward to having her back. ”

Booked by 42 families in Piedmont, CA

Hello, My name is Lisa, and I recently graduated from U.C. Berkeley. Over the past two years, I've had the pleasure of working with several families, caring for kids between the ages of 2 and 10. I'm currently a nanny for a 7-year-old and a 4-year-old, and have been with their family for the last two years. I genuinely love working with kids—their positivity, creativity, and boundless energy make my time with them both fun and rewarding. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your family. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

“Lisa was wonderful! She arrived on time, immediately started interacting with my son, and has such a kind energy. She was responsive and even cleaned up after mealtime. She gave us a detailed run down of how the night went when we got home (everything was great!). We’d love to hire Lisa again! ”

Booked by 12 families in Piedmont, CA

Hi Everyone! My name is Jamiah and I have been an educator for over fourteen years with many of those years in special-education/inclusion. My experience with infant-care helping loved ones through their postpartum experience, then earned my first job as a preschool assistant, and it has now manifested into my personal doula practice. I thoroughly enjoy working with all families and children with many different learning styles. I am patient, warm, supportive and use my creativity to bring new experiences to your children’s lives. I have worked with babies through adults in various schools as an instructional aid, preschool educator, dance teacher, on the cultural administrator team, in day programs for neurodivergent adults, and memory care with elders as a private care giver. As a doula I have experience working with families & infants who are navigating birth and postpartum. Moreover, I am CPR, AED & first aid certified, comfortable administering medicine, navigating sensitive diets/allergies, have 10 Early Childhood Development Units, provide sibling support during birth (rates will vary), have worked with families with multiples (twins), and love supporting families with pets. My care is centered around social emotional learning, restorative justice, self-autonomy, and trauma-informed. Moreover, I have a degree in Ethnic & Dance Studies and have worked as an art teacher for many years with MoAD. I am comfortable facilitating activities, developing curriculum, and some homework assistance. I am very excited about the prospect of supporting your family!

Booked by 101 families in Piedmont, CA

Caring for children and supporting families is a path I came to through my own upbringing, which gave me a deep appreciation for the importance of emotional support, secure relationships, and attuned caregiving throughout every stage of development. I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Human Development from UC Davis, and was recently awarded my Masters of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology from The Wright Institute. I am currently in a doctoral program, specializing in childhood development and neurodevelopment disorders. Through my clinical training, I have had the privilege of working alongside children and families, bringing both a strong developmental perspective and genuine warmth to every interaction. My experience caring for children began early and has continued consistently through family, community, and professional caregiving. Over the past 12 years, I have worked with children of various ages and developmental needs, experiences that have shaped an approach grounded in careful observation, thoughtful engagement, and a calm, dependable presence. As a caregiver, I am attentive not only to children's safety and well-being, but also to how they think, feel, and make sense of the world around them. I engage with them intentionally, fostering curiosity, communication, confidence, and emotional awareness through meaningful everyday interactions. My clinical and practicum experiences have further strengthened my ability to meet children where they are developmentally while providing structure, warmth, and consistency. I view caregiving as a meaningful responsibility that requires preparation, sound judgment, and genuine compassion. I would be honored to support a family seeking a caregiver who combines extensive hands-on experience with advanced training in child development and clinical psychology. I am committed to working with children and families across different socioeconomic backgrounds, particularly those who may have historically had fewer opportunities to access appropriate services and support. Your financial circumstances should never make you feel that you cannot ask for help. Please feel welcome to reach out, and I will gladly help you explore resources, services, and accommodations that may benefit your child.

“My child immediately fell in love with Nayely- she was so lovely and warm- immediately put me at ease. ”
