Hi! My name is Andrea, and I’m a responsible, caring, and energetic caregiver offering child care and household support. I have experience working with children through camp programs, where I cared for toddlers, and as a swim instructor teaching kids from ages 1 up to 15. I’ve worked with a wide range of ages and abilities, focusing on safety, patience, and building confidence. I’m comfortable leading activities, providing one-on-one care, and creating a fun, supportive environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and truly enjoy helping kids feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Mya $20 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! A little bit about me, my name is Mya and I aspire to be a positive and kind presence in people’s lives. I try to appreciate the little things, enjoy every moment and remind others to do the same! I am currently a lifeguard at my hometown pool and am trained in CPR and first aid protocols. I’ve also worked as a gymnastics coach which taught me how to control but also appeal to children in various ways! I love animals and own two cats of my own, I also have owned dogs in the past. I can clean and run errands just say the word. I’d love a chance to prove my value! Thank you!

Hello- My name is Michelle. I am currently a live-in nanny for a family in Alamo. I am looking for extra babysitting jobs on Friday nights (after 6:00 p.m.,) anytime on Saturday and an occasional Sunday (as my current job will permit.) I will always keep my calendar current. The children I care for are 13, 11 and 8 years old. I have been a nanny for this family for over twelve years. I have 18+ years of childcare experience plus I am the oldest of 5 children so I have cared for my nieces and nephews as well. I have excellent references that I would be willing to provide you with. I love caring for children of all ages. I enjoy doing all different kinds of things with the children. I am willing to travel anywhere in the Bay Area. I am fully vaccinated and received all boosters for COVID. I have excellent references that I would be willing to provide to you at your request. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hopefully hearing from you soon.

My passion and calling is caring for children. The safety and well being of my charges are paramount to me. I have 30 + years of experience working with children (including but not limited to children with various special needs) in Brazil, Germany, India, Hawaii and now here in CA. Tending to each child's needs with regard to his/her unique personality and developmental stages is my main goal, while still having fun in the process! Families that have experienced my care services describe me as reliable, creative, accommodating, patient, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, loving, and firm when needed (see reviews). Our time together is filled with adventures, age-appropriate activities, reading, imaginative play, walks in nature, music, Yoga, dance, and lots of love. My background is in Speech and Language Therapy, Montessori, and Infant/ Child Development. I am a mother of a 27 year-old son (graduated from UC Berkeley /Computer Science) and a 24 year-old daughter. (UC Santa Cruz /CS). Current CPR/First Aid. Trust Line registered, clean driving record and I own a reliable car. I do not smoke, use drugs, or drink alcohol. During the time your child is under my care, my phone usage is limited to communicate with you. I am fully present, engaging and giving the children my undivided attention. Rates vary, depending on distance and job description. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you!

Nadia was amazing with our son. She was warm, punctual, thorough, and communicative. Our son loved her!
