Hi! I have always loved working and engaging with children of all ages. I've been babysitting on and off for kids age 6mo - 12 y/o over the years, including my nephew and friends' children when they need extra backup or simply because I love the 1:1 time with them. I've done sleepover sitting and bedtime routines, school drop off/pick ups, homework help, lots of fun field trip adventures with older kids, creative projects or games at home, etc. I'm comfortable and confident with any aged child. In 2021 I took a professional sabbatical during which time I worked as a substitute teacher with Mission Montessori (for the pure enjoyment of it), working with children 6 months - 3 years old. I have also volunteered as a reading and homework tutor of elementary school-aged children in the past. I'm very good with kids - patient, child-centered and love to make them feel seen and supported emotionally while encouraging their creativity and learning. If you have pets: I’m very comfortable and happy with pets in the home and pet care on a sitting job. Im currently an SPCA dog volunteer so get especially excited about dogs :).
Hello, I'm Sofia! Currently working with a lovely family helping care for their infant daughter (and young doggo!). I completed studies at USF in 2019 with my major in Critical Diversity Studies, and a minor in Legal Studies. I have been a family helper/nanny for over 13 years with children ranging in the ages of newborns to teenagers. I also have worked with six separate families with infant twins, one of which were preemies. I have an excellent driving record in case you are in need of help that requires me to drive. I am a huge animal lover as well, so if you have any pets, I am open to help care for them as well such as walking and feeding them, etc. Currently open to part time work: 1-2 days a week and/or date night help. I cannot commit to specific work days as my schedule varies, but can work with a family that has some schedule flexibility. Thanks in advance! Fully vaccinated & boosted 💉
“Sofia is such a wonderful caregiver; we feel very lucky to have found her to help take care of our baby Grace from 4-6 months old. She is highly professional, knowledgeable about infant feeding and sleeping schedules, and has a very nurturing presence. Sofia was the first consistent babysitter we had, and felt comfortable trusting her with Grace. Sofia took care of Grace at home while I worked from home and took Grace out on walks around the neighborhood so she could have fresh air during the day. In addition, she is wonderful to chat with and learn from. I would highly recommend Sofia to take care of little ones.”
Hello 👋 I’m Berfu, a friendly and experienced educator with nearly six years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. Currently, I’m employed at a preschool and am actively seeking part-time or occasional work opportunities for the summer and beyond. I’ve completed six units of Early Childhood Education. I’m incredibly comfortable with babies and toddlers, and I always prioritize their safety and happiness. I’m also pet-friendly, fully vaccinated, and passionate about creating a fun, nurturing, and safe environment for children. Whether you need a helping hand, a trustworthy sitter, or a fun friend for your little ones, I’d love to help! 💛 Looking forward to meeting your family!
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! 😊

"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!"
