HI! My name is Mariane, 34 years old. I have my own car and don’t mind driving to the job, max 30 miles distance. I have experience with all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I'm fun and communicative, the kind of babysitter that really sits and play with the kids. I like to find fun activities, like arts&crafts, coloring, or some learning activity. I can help with homework, pick up from school, drive to activities, watch them for a date night or just give you a little break when need it (we all need it right?). I also know how and love to swim! If you have any questions, please feel free to text me, I'm looking forward to work with you!

Fully vaccinated and boosted. I have many years of childcare experience, both teaching and nanny/babysitting. I especially enjoy working with infants and toddlers and supporting developmental growth in those early years. I love being outdoors and it certainly comes through when I am with kids! I especially like playing outside, going for walks, and observing nature. I also love a good book and am happy to read out loud to children. In my free time I enjoy yoga, rock climbing, hiking, and dancing. I am very creative and I like making crafts and drawing stories with children. My previous work experience includes teaching kids gardening, cooking, crafts, and wilderness skills.

Alison was kind, pleasant, timely and attentive. We would be happy to have her watch our son again.

Booked by 25 families in Port Costa, CA

Hi, I'm Sarah! I am offering child care and household services. I have 7 years of experience providing private childcare. I've worked with infants, toddlers, and children up to 11 years old. (One of them told me I get along well with kids because I'm a child at heart, LOL) I have a nursing education background, and currently working at UCSF, Cancer Research Department. I am also more than happy to watch dogs, cats, or any animal you might have. The more the merrier! :)

Sarah was a breath of fresh of fresh air! Sarah came to look after my 3 year old daughter all day when she had an ear infection and was home from school. I could immediately tell she was such a warm person, and she engaged with my daughter right away. She played with her, fed her lunch, put her down for nap and played more. When my daughter was napping, Sarah organized all of the toys in the playroom into drawers, assembled a new easel for my kids, and helped my daughter do a painting project when she woke up. Sarah is such a sweet person, was prompt, communicative, and a joy to have here. We would love to hire her again!

Hello! My name is Yingzhou.I am a responsible, patient, and caring nanny with over 10 years of experience taking care of children of different ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children can learn and grow. I can help with daily routines such as feeding, bathing, and bedtime, as well as preparing healthy meals, organizing activities and supporting school drop-offs, pick-ups, and extracurricular activities. I believe in positive communication, encouraging creativity, and giving children the attention and care they need. With more than a decade of childcare experience, I understand the importance of supporting parents, being reliable, and keeping an open line of communication. My goal is to make life easier for the family while ensuring the children are happy, healthy, and well cared for. I would love the opportunity to bring my energy, responsibility, and warmth to your family.

As a FTM, I was so anxious about finding the right care for our newborn. But Ying is not just a nanny, she embodies the definition of “mom”. My only regret is not hiring her sooner but we waited until our daughter was around 3 months and will continue to use her into the foreseeable future (Currently she is now 5.5 months). Sweet, kind, gentle and so much compassion. She’s helpful with the baby, around the house and her knowledge in child care is impressive. She speaks canto, mandarin and her English is great.

Booked by 4 families in Port Costa, CA

I am a private school teachers aide for special needs children and have worked with kids aged 6 to 18 in this field. Before being a teacher, I was a respite care provider for special needs children. Overall, I have been in the field professionally for 4 years, but have done nannying since I was 15, for children as young as 3 months! (I am now 23 years old) Before this field, I worked in elderly assisted living. I had a variety of pets growing up and am comfortable caring for animals as well! I am passionate, energetic, and think quick on my feet. I can care for multiple children or pets at a time, and I do not tire easily. I also know a bit of conversational American Sign Language!

Sita was great! On time, very attentive, and great communication. Went above and beyond our expectations!
