Hi! My name is Tarah and I’m a young professional living in Oakland. I’m new to this app, but have been referred by several clients to join. I love being a babysitter and have been doing it for over 5 years. I’m responsible, reliable and patient and enjoy caring for kids, pets and helping households run smoothly. My priority is making kids feel safe, comfortable, and that they can have fun! I love doing activities with kids like crafts, games, reading, play, and homework help. I’m great at following routines. Such as, meals, naps, and bedtime. You can count on me to be attentive, communicative, and dependable at all times. I’m also happy to help with tasks like tidying play areas, children’s laundry, dishes and organizing.
I am a full-time personal chef working with several families in Oakland looking for additional work. One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to share the joy of cooking and food with my clients' children & I often babysit for families I cook for too. I also have experience teaching gardening and cooking to students K-12.
“Cassandra was amazing. My 4 year old adored her and didn’t want her to leave. Absolutely having her watch my kiddo again. Highly recommend!”
Hi there! I’m Mia. I have been caring for children for 8 years as a babysitter and as the oldest of 3 siblings. I have a lot of experience with infants/toddlers, and I have also spent 5 years working with children on the autism spectrum (2-18 years old). I truly love working with kids and will use every opportunity to help them grow and learn. I hope that I'm the right fit for your family. Feel free to contact me, you won't be disappointed!
Hi! I'm Gabriella (Gabbii), a childcare provider with 5–10 years of experience working with children of all ages — from newborns to school-age kids. My background includes hands-on work at a daycare center, years of babysitting for local families, and ongoing volunteer work with infants and toddlers. I'm also CPR and First Aid certified, so parents can feel confident their little ones are in safe, capable hands. I'm passionate about creating nurturing environments where kids feel comfortable and have fun. Whether it's playtime, storytime, or helping with homework, I bring patience, energy, and genuine care to every family I work with. I'd love to meet your little ones!
Hi, I'm Kimberly! I offer child care, pet care, and senior care. I'm in a transitional career stage, love kids, and have a background art/design and food. Caring for your kids is a great way to combine these things while I figure out what's next. Happy to engage in activities, go to the park, read, draw, stay off screens if preferred, make healthy snacks/meals, adhere to your routines and boundaries, and be a trustworthy (and hopefully fun) buddy. Most of my recent experience with kids is more casual: hanging out with friends' kids. I have a fair amount of distant babysitting experience from years ago! Happy to offer referrals. I'm gluten-free but can cook anything, and know my way around dietary restrictions.

"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."
Theresa M., parent
