“We’ve had such a great experience with this babysitter. She is truly the best with my kids they absolutely love her and always ask about her. Every time I mention babysitting, they get excited hoping it’s her. I always choose her when she’s available because I trust her completely and know my kids are safe, happy, and well cared for. She’s reliable, kind, and really great with children. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable babysitter.”
My name is Tristan and I am a Cal graduate and have worked closely with children in a classroom setting and as a babysitter and part-time nanny. I love developing a strong, trusting relationship with children. I am currently a part-time nanny for a 3-month old and am in charge of bottle feedings, contact naps, tummy time, and other age-appropriate enrichment. I was a part-time nanny for a 10 year old from October 2018 to May 2019, and for a 2 year old from August 2021 to September 2022, and two families of 3 (ages 4-9) in Berkeley in 2023 and 2024. I've previously worked at a Children's Discovery Museum as an educator, assisting a wide range of children in developing a deeper understanding of the arts and sciences. I have experience performing reading intervention and mentoring third- and fifth-grade students at Emerson Elementary in Berkeley. I pride myself on my reliability, kindness, understanding, and my ability to connect with children! I love promoting curiosity, encouraging self-expression, and role modeling positive interactions with others/the environment. I am committed to supporting your family and implementing practices that best meet your needs. I look forward to getting to know you and your family!

Hi there :) thank you for clicking on my profile! I’ve been working with kids for over 9 years now and I think I can say I've truly found my passion! I have a teaching background and I love to make my work meaningful and mindful, always making sure I’m present for my kids helping them grow and develop as beings. My teaching style leans more towards Waldorf and Montessori and I prefer to work for no screens families (even better if you don’t have TV at home). I’m from Brazil and I speak Portuguese and English fluently. I’m very responsible and proactive, I tend to fix things as I go instead of being asked to do it. I have a CPR certificate and First Aid Training. I play the ukulele and I’m also a certified Music Together teacher, I legit sing ALL THE TIME. If you’re into music we’ll definitely get along! I make sure to always have my ukulele with me for awesome dance parties and music time. I graduated as a Health Coach back in 2020 and I’m now studying Plant Based cuisine. I absolutely love cooking and will have the best time cooking healthy meals for your family and maybe even getting the kids involved in the mess! I also love baking so I might bring a cake to share every now and then! I’m a morning person and love to look at the bright side of things! So I think a big sum up of me would be a mix of music, health, good food and lots of happiness! I like to work for families that value the work I do and care about growing as individuals and learning together. Having a safe environment for open communication is very important to me! Thank you so much for reading my profile :) if you feel like we could be a good match please don’t hesitate to contact me! You can find more info on my cooking schedule on manuelalilliston.com/
“Manuela brought such wonderful energy to our home and was immediately a natural with our kids. My 10 month old warmed up to her right away. She even prepped some food and left the house tidy. Would absolutely work with her again!”
As I am currently working on my early childhood education degree, I am grateful for the opportunities I have to practice what I learn from my college classes to the families I work with. Creating a safe and fun environment for the children is my number one priority. Along with this, I prioritize listening to the child’s needs and good communication with the children’s parents. I also have experience in teaching children’s music classes for 6 years.
