I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old, primarily caring for my two nieces, who are now 10 and 6 years old. Through this experience, I’ve gained hands-on knowledge in supervising children of different ages, managing routines, and handling various needs from playtime to bedtime. In addition to family babysitting, I worked two summers at a daycare center where I was responsible for diaper changes, assisting with potty training, preparing and feeding meals, and ensuring a safe and engaging environment. During this time, I also learned and followed key safety regulations and best practices in childcare, including hygiene standards, and age-appropriate activities.
“Natalie is wonderful! We interviewed via FaceTime and she really connected with my kiddos. She arrived on time, eager to learn, and constantly helped out the entire time. Even when they were crying she really kept trying to soothe them, calm them down. She played with them and gave them her full attention. ”
Hello, my name is Nivia! I am 20 years old and I offer babysitting and house sitting. I work part time as an assistant pre k teacher! I absolutely love working with kids and I am more than confident I can take care of your little ones. I work mostly with 2-4 year olds and I enjoy reading them stories or doing activities with them the most! I have a dog myself so I know basic dog care. I am comfortable feeding or giving medications. If you have any questions feel free to send a message.
Hi I’m Meagan, I am a person who is passionate about caring for and teaching young children from infants through age 5. I have 23 years of child care experience. I am CPR and first aid certified, I am a creative and active person who enjoys helping children explore the world through art, music, outdoor activities, and sensory play. I have 72 units of early childhood education including infant and toddler development courses. I’m fluent in English. I also speak Spanish, some Portuguese and a little bit of French. I enjoy watching children explore the world around them and conquer the challenges life puts on their paths. My care taking style is play based because I believe children experience the world best when they are actively engaged in playing, exploring and using their imaginations to create new experiences for themselves. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me. I look forward to speaking with you soon! Respectfully, Meagan
“Meagan is an amazing childcare provider. She started working with us when my son was 11 months old. She really helped him develop in so many ways. Meagan helped us transition from co-sleeping to sleeping on his own in crib without needing to be breathed or rocked to sleep. He started walking around 12 months and running all around by 13-14 months). Meagan is very knowledgeable. She helped us childproof our home and gives us so many great recommendations on anything can think of (e.g., best sippy cups, shoes etc). She knows about sleep schedule, wake windows, eating solids you name it! And if she doesn't know she will research and find out. Just like she did helping us teach him French. Our son knows many site words, alphabet, counting 1-20 in English and French by 15 months. Meagan helped him learn while having fun. Meagan also takes him out to explore and socialize with other kids (playground, children's gym, story time at library etc). This I am sure has helped his learning and development. She supports his emotional development, she is so patient and when he tantrums helps him sooth, models adaptive coping skills, and names feelings. As he has aged and is currently 5 years old a in school now, Meagan still supports our family with babysitting for special occasions and date night. She’s demonstrated skills with him at each age of his development from infant, toddler, to preschooler and now school age. She fun and connects well with him, he loves her. But she is has consistent routines and holds boundaries to ensure his safety and care. She also is knowledgeable about child development sharing resources and information. She also knows the east Bay Area well and shares engaging resources and activities to do with him. Meagan is all around amazing. She’s consistent and reliable as well as kind and thoughtful person. I highly recommend.”
Hi, my name is Stephanie. I’m 18 years old and I’m about to start college. I have experience caring for children between the ages of 3–11 through helping take care of my younger siblings and occasionally babysitting for families. I enjoy spending time with kids and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and I always try to create a positive and fun environment for the children I’m looking after.
Hi there, I’m Danaly! I have about 2.5 years of childcare experience from my time working full-time as a Recreational Leader in my hometown (San Pablo). I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from toddlers (2.5 years) to teens (17 years), and I absolutely love creating fun, engaging activities for them. Arts and crafts are some of my favorite things to do with the kiddos, but I’m also happy to help out with homework or school projects. If needed, I can assist with pick-ups and drop-offs for school or extracurricular activities too. I also do not mind helping around the house if needed! Right now, I work as a Family Advocate, supporting young mothers and their babies under 5. I’m also CPR/AED Certified and 100% pet friendly, so your little ones (and fur babies) will always be in good hands. I’d love to bring my experience, creativity, and care to your family!
“Danaly was a super helpful and fun with my kids (12yrs old and 6yrs old). I feel like she really got to know my kids and created a bond with them.”

"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!"
