Katie $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Livermore, 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 🎨🌱🫧❣️🎀

Booked by 1 family in Livermore, CA

Hello! My name is Olivia. I am 26 years old. I have 10 years experience with babysitting and nannying (the video on my profile is a few years old) for newborn babies-10 years old. Your child will be in a supervised, safe, and stable environment. I am responsible and reliable. I believe I could be a great fit for you, your children and your family. I am currently employed full time at a printing company in San Ramon but I would love to work as a full time nanny again. I am very flexible with my schedule, I can work more than 8hrs a day and sometimes on weekend too.

Whitney $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, patient, dependable, and responsible caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping children and families. I’m attentive to each child’s individual needs and believe in creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I have experience caring for children including babysitting, caregiving and as a pediatric nurse in the school and home setting. As a babysitter and caregiver, I understand the importance of keeping children engaged, safe, and on a consistent routine. I’m comfortable helping with meals, snacks, playtime, activities, homework, bedtime routines, transportation, and keeping children’s spaces tidy. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks related to the children. My personality is warm, patient, calm, and easygoing. I’m reliable and take my responsibilities seriously, while also making sure children have fun and feel cared for. I’m someone families can feel comfortable trusting in their home and with their children. I would love the opportunity to support a family and become someone they can depend on.

"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!"
