Katie $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Dublin, CA

Hi! I’m Katie, a 23 year old artist with a BFA in Fashion Design from Parsons in NYC. I recently moved back home to the Tri-Valley and am looking for babysitting roles during this transitional period of my life. I’ve been around children in my community my whole life, taken child development/psychology courses in school (high school and college-level), have worked at a gym daycare for 1 year, and babysat in NYC— so you’re in good hands! A little bit about my childcare philosophy: I am passionate about holistic wellbeing and learning through creativity/activity. I see childcare as a two-way relationship that prioritizes the child’s unique development. I also learn so much by being around children! I’m extremely reliable, honest, and communicative, and will ensure that the parent’s wishes are met, and, of course, the safety of your child. I’m great at engaging children in active play and crafts, if that’s something you would like. I am comfortable cooking/preparing snacks for your child as needed and going through bedtime routines. I have experience working with all ages, from as young as 7 months. I look forward to meeting with you and your little one(s), thank you! 🥰 ~ Katie 🎨🌱🫧❣️🎀

Weronika $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced nanny, babysitter, and pet sitter with a strong background in child development and a genuine passion for working with children. I have cared for children as young as 2 months old up to 14 years old, including families with multiple children. My favorite age group to work with is infants through preschoolers (0–5 years), as I love supporting their early learning, curiosity, and social-emotional growth. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and happy. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each family’s unique needs and routines. In addition to childcare, I also provide pet sitting and house sitting services, with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I treat every home, child, and pet with the same level of care and responsibility as if they were my own.

Coni $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Coni, I’m from Argentina and I’m a primary school teacher, with about 3 years of experience teaching back home. I’ve also spent more than 5 years taking care of kids of all ages, from babies to older kids, and I really enjoy being around them. I’m very comfortable driving kids around, like school drop-offs, activities, playdates, and helping keep their routines on track. I also help with homework and anything they need during the day. I enjoy spending time with kids through activities like arts and crafts, music, playing, and outdoor time. I like to keep things fun but also meaningful, helping them learn, be creative, and feel comfortable and safe. I’m also happy to help with light household stuff like preparing meals for the kids, tidying up, or running errands if needed. I love animals and grew up with them, so I’m totally comfortable around pets too. I’m responsible, patient, easygoing, and I speak both Spanish and English. Looking forward to meeting you!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
