Booked by 8 families in San Leandro, CA

Hi, I’m Narender — “Bella” to little ones. I have several years of experience caring for infants and young children, creating warm, engaging environments where they feel safe, supported, and excited to explore. My approach is responsive and developmentally intentional. Through play, conversation, books, outdoor time, and everyday routines, I support language, motor skills, confidence, curiosity, and growing independence in ways that fit each child’s age and stage. I naturally adapt my energy to each child—whether that means imaginative play, active exploration, or a calm, reassuring presence when extra comfort is needed. I follow each family’s routines and parenting preferences so children feel secure and parents feel confident. Families appreciate my dependable communication, thoughtful follow-through, and genuine engagement with their children. I’m especially well-suited for families seeking consistent daytime, early evening, or weekend support, and I enjoy building lasting relationships with families. Serving: San Francisco • Oakland • Berkeley Additional Notes • 3-hour minimum per booking (longer bookings preferred for evenings and weekends). • Child-focused care, including light tidying of children’s play areas and items used during care.

Narender was so extremely attentive of my little one and immediately made him feel comfortable. He usually requires a little time to open up but I could tell he immediately felt safe with her. She was a rockstar to have watch our little one and I knew he was in great hands almost immediately.

Booked by 172 families in San Leandro, CA

Hi! My name is Phia and I would be happy to work with you. I have been working with children professionally since I was 16 but babysat before then. I have worked with children of varying ages, from infants 3 months and older, toddlers, elementary age, all the way up to young teenagers preparing for high school. I graduated from the University of San Francisco with a BA in sociology in May 2022. I now work as a project coordinator supervising youth development and policy at a local non-profit. I still work with babysitting families 1-2 times a week. In the Bay Area, I have worked as an after-school program leader for the YMCA in SFUSD, as well as a classroom aid. Beyond this, I have worked as an interim babysitter and nanny for various families before and during the pandemic. Through my time with the YMCA and other organizations, I have been trained in childhood development and creative education. I enjoy working with kids because it helps me keep in tune with my ability to empathize and stay creative. Children are the expression of a community, so staying in tune with the needs and experiences of youth is better for the community as a whole. Booking and payment policy: Same day cancellation, if you cancel within 4 hours of the booking start time, you are agreeing to pay me 1/2 of lost wages.

Phia is so great with my kids! She and my toddler especially get along great, and she does an awesome job playing with him. Highly recommend.

I am currently enrolled in an herbal medicine program and am looking for part time work.
