Fully vaccinated and boosted. I have many years of childcare experience, both teaching and nanny/babysitting. I especially enjoy working with infants and toddlers and supporting developmental growth in those early years. I love being outdoors and it certainly comes through when I am with kids! I especially like playing outside, going for walks, and observing nature. I also love a good book and am happy to read out loud to children. In my free time I enjoy yoga, rock climbing, hiking, and dancing. I am very creative and I like making crafts and drawing stories with children. My previous work experience includes teaching kids gardening, cooking, crafts, and wilderness skills.

Alison was kind, pleasant, timely and attentive. We would be happy to have her watch our son again.

Hello, I look forward to meeting your family and pets. I have experience with giving care for 1-9 year olds. I have personal experience with raising, training, and caring for dogs. I am a masters of nursing student so my time may be limited due to school, but I would love to spend any free time I have babysitting for any family members.

Tina helped keep an eye on our little one during a family party at the park. It was a unique situation but Tina was game for the challenge. Very communicative, sweet, and flexible!

Hi! My name is Natalie and am 25 years old. I'm an experienced babysitter with 10+ years of experience who has a passion for child care with a goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. I received my bachelor's of science in nursing this past May at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland and am currently finding occasional babysitting jobs as I study for my state board exam. I wanted to go into nursing because I have always enjoyed helping people. I have always enjoyed working with children, which is why I chose pediatric nursing and why I have always gravitated to childcare jobs. My mom and grandmother owned a daycare for 13 years of my life and I was a big help, so I have experience taking care of newborns all the way to teenagers. I have volunteered during the summer at many camps as a youth counselor. During the pandemic I worked through zoom to provide one on one care with children that needed homework assistance or just virtual playtime. I have worked as an after school instructor at my local elementary school, where I am currently working. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and sport practices, crafts, bedtime routines, and tutoring. I can also clean, tidy up the house and run errands if needed. My main goal is to always make sure children are having fun in an educational way and providing a safe environment for them. I am a big fan of arts and crafts so I always carry crafts around me in case a fun little activity can be done. I also love pets and take care of them as well! I have had many hamsters, cats, dogs, chinchillas, etc...so I am fine with giving them my extra care. I am also bilingual and speak English and Spanish fluently, and wouldn’t mind giving a little Spanish lesson every now and then. I like to her walk my dogs, do puzzles, and watch movies in my spare time. I am fully vaccinated and CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you! 😊
