Zama $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Zama and I am a nanny, who is dependable and experienced childcare professional with over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, school age children, and teenagers. While earning my Business degree at City College of San Francisco. I worked closely with families, helping not only with childcare but also with keeping busy households running smoothly. From preparing meals, grocery shopping, running errands, to driving children to school and activities, planning schedules and helping with homework, I became someone families could rely on. I would describe myself as patient, flexible, resourceful and calm under pressure. Every child is different, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personalities while supporting their growth and independence. My goal is simple: to be someone parents can trust and someone their kids feel happy, safe and excited to spend time with.

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in El Sobrante, CA

Away from the Bay until May 27th! I'll be back and available to book again on 5/27/2026. My CV: sites.google.com/view/minervalerner/cv I'm passionate about childcare and education, and have worked in daycare, preschool, and elementary school and summer camp settings. I've taught and provided care for children ages 2-10; I've also been involved with animals since childhood as a city shelter volunteer and foster caregiver for both cats and dogs. Most recently I've been trained through In-Home Social Services (IHSS) as a live-in caregiver for an elderly adult, assisting in both medical care and daily home maintenance tasks. I'm thoroughly organized (a total neat freak!) and ready to assume a supporting role (having worked as an assistant teacher/caregiver more often than in leading positions). Your little ones' safety and well-being are my top priorities, second only to your own peace of mind – I know how hard it can be to juggle household needs, and I'll take on whatever tasks necessary with enthusiasm!

Leo 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in El Sobrante, CA

Hello! My name is Leo (he/him) and I am a PsyD student in Berkeley. I used to work as a paraeducator for both OUSD and AUSD before I became a full time student! I am currently/consistently babysitting for a family with a 3 year old whose primary language is Japanese. Responsibilities also include driving their child (with family’s car) to gymnastics, bring him to the park, potty training, bathing, and putting him to bed/naptime. I’ve also worked with high schoolers for 3 years and have been working with elementary schoolers for a little over a year. All of my coworkers and students would probably describe me as patient, easy going, and someone who has a good sense of humor :) I have also previously been certified as an EMT and worked as a vet tech for many years so I’ve definitely got the range of skills!

“Leo is everything we need - always on time, thorough with questions and prep, and knows how to go with the flow on everything. Leo has done everything from playing and reading with our toddler indoors, taking him to the park and on walks in the neighborhood, bike rides, bathing and dinner time, all the way to putting him down at bedtime. Our toddler takes to Leo very quickly every time and we are so grateful!”

Hello, my name is Daniela. I am an experienced childcare provider. I work full time as a literacy teacher and as a 3rd grade afterschool teacher at a bilingual elementary school in SF. I have worked as an English teacher in Spain for the last two years, with students from Pre-K to high school. I enjoy working with all ages including middle schoolers. I love to craft, crochet, play sports, and go to the park when the weather permits. I teach chess, dance, and drama at my school so I enjoy fun table games and movement based activities. I speak multiple languages that being English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I work with students who are on the autism spectrum as well as students who have ADHD and work to accommodate all learning environments and help children build their behavioral skills in a kind way. I love what I do and very excited to work with you and your family! Please feel free to send me a message if you have any specific needs that you would like me to consider.

“Daniela was on time and very friendly. The kids enjoyed playing with her and she was very understanding when I ordered dinner late. Would hire again!”

"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!"
