Booked by 2 families in Pleasanton, CA

Hi there! My name is Janna and I just graduated from CSUEB with my BA in Sociology. I have been babysitting in a casual familial setting since I was a tween and am looking to expand my services into a more professional environment. I offer child care to children from 6 months old to tween ages (including twins). I can also provide household services including cleaning, laundry, cooking, & running errands if needed. I have a driver's license and car if children need to be picked up or dropped off from extracurriculars or any appointments. I am happy to curate interactive and creative activities for kids to enjoy such as art, games, and active time. I love caregiving as it is so fulfilling to be a part of a child's journey into the world. I'm excited to hear back from you.

“We love Janna! I hired her to be my nephew’s after school caregiver. She has completed 3 bookings with us. She is so amazing, she’s on time, a good communicator, has a great attitude and my nephew always is sad when she has to leave. She’s very engaging with young children and has a fun approach to childcare. She also is great at ensuring he completes his homework and maintains the schedule, despite his hyperactive behaviors. We’re always looking forward to a fun day with Janna!”

Weronika $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced nanny, babysitter, and pet sitter with a strong background in child development and a genuine passion for working with children. I have cared for children as young as 2 months old up to 14 years old, including families with multiple children. My favorite age group to work with is infants through preschoolers (0–5 years), as I love supporting their early learning, curiosity, and social-emotional growth. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and happy. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each family’s unique needs and routines. In addition to childcare, I also provide pet sitting and house sitting services, with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I treat every home, child, and pet with the same level of care and responsibility as if they were my own.

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.

I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy helping with activities like homework, playtime, reading, and bedtime routines. I can also provide reference numbers from families I’ve worked with if needed. I look forward to connecting with families and creating a safe, fun environment for your children!

"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!"
