Booked by 8 families in Pleasanton, CA

Hello! My name is Jenna and I recently graduated from CSU East Bay. I am offering childcare and pet care services. Over the years I have babysat numerous times for neighbors or family friends from children ages 2-10. Previously I worked at a petting zoo and managed groups of children from ages 3-14. I can also help with homework, especially in the science area as I have a bachelors in biology. In my free time I enjoy reading, drawing, painting, and crocheting. I have around 7 years of experience working with various types of farm animals and I am comfortable taking care of any animal! Upon request I’d be happy to give references.

Such a sweet kind young woman

Hi :) my name is Inderpreet, and I’m thrilled to offer my babysitting services as I work towards a career in healthcare. I’ve spent the last seven years helping to raise my two wonderful nephews, from their baby days to now, and it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’m all about creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for kids, where they can feel comfortable and happy. While my background is in the biotech field, my heart has always been in caregiving. I’m responsible, reliable, and can’t wait to bring some joy and care to your little ones!

Hello, If you are looking for experience you’ve found it! Ive worked in a hospital O.R. The reason I share that is because I do not panic and have seen it ALL. Safety being my number one priority for your child. I am en educated Early Childhood caregiver with all of the CA required Units to teach preschool and fully Red Cross CPR/First aid certified. I was a private Nanny full time for a local family for several years, caring for their 2 children from infancy. Those children are school age now. The last 2 years Ive been providing back up care for business, serving families in the Bay area providing care in their homes. Im a big proponent of play and the important role it plays in a child's development. I especially enjoy outside time. I studied horticulture and am hugely passionate about plants. My life has always been caregiving either of people or plants. Trust is important to me. I am the one you can entrust with your most precious child! It’s a privilege to be trusted by you and to provide your family with excellence. I am a married Mom of 2 girls ages 22 and 19. I look forward to chatting with you about your childcare need.

I can’t recommend her highly enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my 3-year-old, and I would happily have her take care of her again. What stood out to me most was how quickly and naturally she connected with my daughter. My daughter was completely enamored with her and happily followed her gentle guidance. She was warm and playful, but also incredibly capable and independent — I felt completely comfortable leaving her to take the lead without needing direction from me. I especially appreciated how respectful she was of my daughter as a little person. She would check in with her about what she wanted to do, listen to her preferences, and adapt based on her mood rather than trying to force a particular activity. They read books, sang songs, played together, and she seemed to instinctively know when to engage and when to simply follow my daughter’s lead. She has such a lovely, gentle way with children while still being confident and in charge. My daughter clearly felt safe, comfortable, and cared for with her — and, most importantly, had a wonderful time. We would absolutely love to have her back!

My name is Fernanda, and I am from Colombia. I am university trained and licensed as a teacher in Colombia where I taught children ages 4 years to 14 years old. I am fluent in English and Spanish and for the past 2 years have been employed as a nanny caring for children ages 6 months to 3 years old. I am a very patient, responsible, and dependable person who is about promoting the well-being and overall development of children.

I highly recommend her as a babysitter. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly independent. She has a natural talent for working with children, especially younger kids, and always creates a safe, caring, and fun environment for them. She is patient, trustworthy, and genuinely enjoys spending time with children. Any family would be lucky to have her as their babysitter!!
