Atidtiya $28 per hour for 1 child
About Me Hi! My name is Atidtiya, and I have over three years of hands-on childcare experience in the United States, along with additional nursery experience from back home. I was an au pair for two wonderful families — one year in Connecticut caring for three children, and one year in San Francisco caring for two children. Before becoming an au pair, I worked as an assistant in a child nursery for 1.5 years, supporting early childhood development and daily routines. I am gentle, patient, and reliable, and I always try to make children feel safe, understood, and engaged. I’m comfortable with a wide range of ages, from babies and toddlers to school-aged kids, and I’m experienced with everything from creative play to bedtime routines and meal prep. Now that I’ve completed my au pair program, I’m open to babysitting opportunities and look forward to meeting new families in the area.
Amanda $35 per hour for 1 child
I am a 2nd grade teacher with an Early Childhood Education background. I have been teaching for 6 years. Prior to this I was a full time nanny or live in nanny from 19-26. I have cared for a variety of children from infants to teenagers. My primary care has been infants through age 8. I have cared for high special needs kids as well such as Down syndrome, autism, and childhood cancer. I also am a mom to a level 1 autistic child who’s 7. I am seeking part time work and would not be bringing my own child. I work full time as a teacher during the school year and will be off all summer seeking occasional babysitting or tutoring if interested.
Janna $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi there! My name is Janna and I just graduated from CSUEB with my BA in Sociology. I have been babysitting in a casual familial setting since I was a tween and am looking to expand my services into a more professional environment. I offer child care to children from 6 months old to tween ages (including twins). I can also provide household services including cleaning, laundry, cooking, & running errands if needed. I have a driver's license and car if children need to be picked up or dropped off from extracurriculars or any appointments. I am happy to curate interactive and creative activities for kids to enjoy such as art, games, and active time. I love caregiving as it is so fulfilling to be a part of a child's journey into the world. I'm excited to hear back from you.
Losa 1 review
$40 per hour for 1 child
$40 per hour for 1 child
Aloha! I've been a childcare specialist on/off for the last decade. I specialize in conversational language development and helping children build confidence through age-appropriate activities. I love to laugh and am partial to a dance party. I know how to join the rhythm of a family unit, explain big ideas in a kid-friendly way and communicate concisely with parents so they can handle disciplinary action in a timely manner. My favorite kid stuff to do is drawing tutorials on Art Kid Hub (YouTube), footraces at Lake Elizabeth and k-pop karaoke.
“I can't recommend Losa enough. She is kind, patient, and has a calm presence that helps kids feel safe, comfortable, and understood. She's also fun, playful, and a little silly, which makes it easy for children to connect with her and genuinely enjoy being around her. One of the things I appreciate most about Losa is the way she helps children understand their emotions and behaviors. Instead of simply correcting them, she takes the time to help them recognize what they're feeling and gives them age-appropriate tools to work through those emotions. She encourages confidence, emotional regulation, and self-awareness in a way that feels supportive and empowering. Losa also does a great job of balancing support with healthy boundaries. She knows when to step in to guide a child and when to step back so they can problem-solve, learn, and build independence on their own. Her focus on conversational language development and confidence-building comes through naturally in the way she interacts with children every day. Any family would be lucky to have Losa. She brings warmth, joy, and encouragement wherever she goes, and her presence is truly a gift.”
