Hi! My name is Vitória, but everyone calls me Vivi. I’m currently based in the Bay Area and I’m offering child care, pet care and householdcare. I have experience with children of various ages. In my home country, I worked in a school caring for and supporting young children in their daily routines, learning, and play. Here in the US, I have two years of daily experience caring for children, and it's something I truly love. I'm patient, responsible, and always ready to create a fun, safe, and loving environment for the little ones. I also have experience caring for pets, such as walking dogs and helping with their daily needs, always making sure that the pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I'm patient, responsible, very affectionate and always ready to create a fun, safe, and loving environment for the little ones. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and proactive, I'd love to connect!
Hi! My name is Zoya. I’m a responsible, patient person who enjoys spending time with children and creating a safe, positive environment for them. I speak three languages and love cooking and baking, and I enjoy doing fun and creative activities with kids. I also have experience working in a senior home, which taught me patience, attentiveness, and strong caregiving skills. I’m happy to help with childcare, homework, simple meals, and light housekeeping. I currently don’t drive, but I am punctual and dependable. My goal is always to make children feel safe, comfortable, and happy.
Hi! My name is Cinthia, and I have over 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages — from infants as young as 4 months old to pre-teens up to 12 years old. I truly love spending time with kids — whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, creating fun activities, or simply making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m CPR certified, patient, responsible, and always bring a calm and positive energy into the home. At the moment, I’m mainly looking for part-time morning positions on Mondays and Fridays, but I’m also available for occasional babysitting during evenings, weekends, date nights, overnight care, or when families need extra help while traveling. I drive, have a valid U.S. driver’s license, and I’m flexible with locations if needed. If you’re looking for someone caring, trustworthy, responsible, and fun to watch your little ones, I’d love to connect!
“I’m so happy to recommend Cinthia as a babysitter. She’s been amazing with my twins and has truly become part of our family. From the start, she showed how reliable and trustworthy she is, and I always feel at ease leaving my kids with her. She takes care of all the daily needs ( feeding them, giving them baths, getting them ready for bed) and she’s even stayed overnight when we needed extra help. Having someone so calm and patient in the house has been a huge plus, especially with two little ones who sometimes both want attention at the same time. What I really appreciate is how she goes beyond just “watching” the kids. She takes them out on playdates, keeps them busy with fun activities, and makes sure they’re safe while still letting them explore and enjoy themselves. She has a really gentle way about her, and the twins just light up when she’s around. Even on hectic days, she never seems flustered and always keeps things running smoothly. Cinthia is dependable, easy to communicate with, and so caring toward my kids. Knowing she’s there gives me peace of mind because I know my twins are happy and well looked after. Any family would be lucky to have her as their babysitter, and I can honestly say she’s been one of the best things to happen to us.”
Hi! My name is Kamila! I am actively looking for a job and offering one-time babysitting, pet care, and household services while I secure an accounting position. I love babysitting and have been watching children for co-workers, family, and friends for the past 5 years. I have babysat children from 6 months to 10 years old. My responsibilities have been crafts, cooking, cleaning, and tutoring. I have a car and feel comfortable doing pickups/dropoffs as needed. I am a fluent Spanish speaker and have helped siblings and classmates with Spanish homework. I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for cats and dogs. I love animals (I have two cats and a snake) and feel comfortable around dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles of all breeds and sizes. I am experienced in providing medical care to animals as well. I regularly care for an epileptic, 70 lb dog.
“When she lived in Utah, Kamila babysat my grandchildren on several occasions for a couple of years when they were 5, 7, and 9. Today, they are 8, 10, and 12 YO, and they still talk about how much fun they had when they were with Kamila. Although the kids enjoyed the time with her, they did not deviate from their routines. Kamila was very diligent, ensuring homework was done, meals were taken at the right time (if required), and bedtime routines were followed. Kamila is very responsible, flexible, and will make herself available even at short notice (if she can do it). She is very professional and reliable. I'd be happy to recommend her any time.”
Hi my name is Selen and I live with my partner Joey and our dog Lulu in the Oakland Hills! We have 8 chickens and 6 quails and I love taking care of all of our animals. I have a 2 year old nephew in Oakland, and I've gained a lot of experience being an active auntie in his life (he also loves my dog Lulu). I'm currently in school for my master's in social work at Samuel Merritt University and looking for part-time work helping families in the neighborhood with their kids, pets, and any other caretaking. I'm super friendly, compassionate and would love to help out in any way I can.

"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!"
