Hi! My name is Amanda, and I currently live in Benicia, California. I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering and will be pursuing my Master's over the next year. In the meantime, I'm looking to nanny and would love to support a great family! I have very flexible hours and am certified in both First Aid and CPR. I have over eight years of experience working with children of all ages and truly love what I do. I have previously worked as an Assistant Daycare Teacher, where I focused on creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while working closely with parents to support each child's individual needs. I have also spent my summers working at a baseball camp for toddlers, so I'm very comfortable keeping kids active, engaged, and entertained. I always aim to make kids feel happy, safe, and and cared for. I'd love the opportunity to help out your family!
Hi, my name is Stephanie. I’m 18 years old and I’m about to start college. I have experience caring for children between the ages of 3–11 through helping take care of my younger siblings and occasionally babysitting for families. I enjoy spending time with kids and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and I always try to create a positive and fun environment for the children I’m looking after.
I have been a teacher for over 25 years. I have done infant care. I have taught junior high and high school intervention programs and teen parenting classes . I am a preschool teacher for Oakland Unified .I really enjoy spending time with children. I am creative. I like to do art and craft projects. I like to go on outings swimming hiking, going to museums and parks.
Hi, future families! 😊 New on this app! My name is Chloe, and I’m 21 years old. I’m a caring, dependable, and responsible person who would love the opportunity to help make your life a little easier—whether you need a babysitter, house sitter, or an extra helping hand! I have over 3 years of experience working as a Special Needs Paraeducator and even my own personal experience where my brother has severe autism. I’ve developed lots of patience, responsibility, and experience caring for children with different needs. I’m also a licensed CNA and am just one class away from starting my journey toward becoming a Registered Nurse! 🩺 I’m excited to build relationships with families, earn your trust, and gain more experience in babysitting and house sitting. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your children and home are in caring and responsible hands. ❤️ I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and see how I can help! 😊

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
