Maria Grace 1 review
$40 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Grace, and I’m a nursing graduate from the Philippines currently working toward getting my nursing license here. Caring for others has always been my passion, which is why I truly enjoy helping familiesβ€”whether it’s with child care, senior care, pet care, or household support. Child Care: I have experience caring for children from 10 months to 12 years old, including one family with an infant and three older kids. I enjoy engaging children in fun and creative activities that support their developmentβ€”like reading, drawing, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I can also assist with meal preparation, light cleaning, and maintaining a safe, nurturing environment. ALSO OPEN TO NANNYING FOR SPECIAL EVENTS (corporate meeting, family reunion, weddings, etc.) TO GROUP OF CHILDREN so parents can have a good time stress-free. Senior & Geriatric Care: I have hands-on experience providing care for elderly clients, including those with limited mobility and chronic health conditions. My background includes assisting with daily living activities such as bathing, feeding, dressing, and medication reminders. I also offer companionship, emotional support, and light housekeeping. My goal is always to help seniors maintain their comfort, dignity, and independence as much as possible. Pet Care: I’ve cared for several pets, including three dogs, a cat, and even farm animals while assisting a paralyzed adult. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and giving basic care for both small and large animals. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and keeping them happy and active. Household Services: I can help with cleaning, cooking, errands, laundry, and organizing. If needed, I can also bring my own cleaning supplies. I take pride in keeping a home clean, comfortable, and welcoming for everyone in it. Caring for peopleβ€”young or old, human or furryβ€”has always come naturally to me. I approach every role with patience, compassion, and genuine care.

β€œI highly recommend Maria Grace as a babysitter. She took care of my daughter for one year, and during that time she proved to be very reliable, patient, and caring. Maria Grace always made sure that my daughter was safe, comfortable, and well looked after. She was attentive to my child’s needs and created a positive and nurturing environment. As a parent, it gave me great peace of mind knowing that my daughter was in good hands. Maria Grace is trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely kind with children. I am very grateful for the care she provided to my daughter, and I confidently recommend her to any family looking for a dependable babysitter.”

I’m Kat! I’m 22, studying music at Diablo Valley College. I’ve been working as a paid babysitter for four years (and an unpaid for about sixteen!). Growing up with four siblings (and many more little cousins) means lots of helping out with the little ones, so I have lots of experience! I love working with kids, and have a couple cats at homeβ€”so I’m thrilled to help you!

Berenice $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a nurturing, patient, and reliable caregiver with over five years of experience working with children from infancy through school age. I began babysitting in high school and quickly discovered how fulfilling it is to support families and create a warm, positive environment for kids. I truly enjoy being part of their everyday growth whether it’s helping them learn something new, guiding them through emotions, or simply making their day brighter through engaging play. As a new mother myself, I have hands-on experience with infant care, including feeding, soothing, diapering, and maintaining healthy routines. Over the years, I have developed strong communication skills, a calm and gentle approach, and the ability to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. I am committed to providing safe, attentive, and loving care while supporting parents in any way I can, including light household tasks and maintaining consistent routines.

"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!"
