My name is Jessica but I prefer to be called Jessy (system won't allow me to update my name). I’m a mom of a 10-year-old and a 3-year-old with a long background in childcare—babysitter, nanny, teacher, after-school, and summer camp work. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable with kids of all ages, pets, and light household help. I am a part time HR consultant who would love to make a little extra money and always love being around awesome kiddos. I am generally available Tues and Thur mornings and evenings as well as weekends.

Hi, I’m Maria, a highly experienced and compassionate caregiver with a strong background in education and specialized child care. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Preparation for Teaching and currently work as a substitute teacher, supporting students across a wide range of ages, abilities, and learning environments. I previously worked as a Preschool Teacher at La Petite Academy, where I was responsible for maintaining a safe, structured, and nurturing classroom. I supported daily routines, led age-appropriate learning activities, assisted with meals and transitions, and used positive behavior guidance to support social and emotional development. I understand how important consistency, patience, and clear communication are for young children. In addition, I have extensive experience working with children with disabilities and medical needs. I have supported children with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, visual impairments, seizure disorders, behavioral challenges, and children who require tube feeding. Through my work in special education settings, I developed a calm, attentive, and safety-focused approach to care. I am comfortable following care plans, recognizing signs of distress, and working closely with families to meet each child’s individual needs. Beyond my education background, I have spent several years sailing internationally as part of a small crew, traveling over 15,000 nautical miles. This experience strengthened my sense of responsibility, safety awareness, problem-solving skills, and ability to remain calm in high-pressure situations. These qualities directly support my work with children and families. Families describe me as dependable, nurturing, and confident. I take pride in being someone parents can trust with their children’s safety, well-being, and daily care. I genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with children and supporting families with reliable, thoughtful care.

I am a preschool teacher for Oakland Unified .I really enjoy spending time with children. I am creative. I like to do art and craft projects.

Hi there! My name is Gwen, and I'm genuinely passionate about working with children. As an early childhood education professional, I absolutely love creating fun, safe, and nurturing spaces where kids can truly thrive. My experience as a TK/Kinder classroom leader and an assistant teacher at a preschool has given me hands-on skills in engaging young learners and supporting their growth. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your little ones are in capable hands. I'm also currently studying Early Childhood Studies at Sonoma State University, which means I'm always learning new ways to support children's development and make our time together enriching and engaging. I'm excited for the opportunity to build positive relationships with both your children and your family!

Hi, I'm Paloma and I love working with/spending time with kids. I have my CPR certification and around 4 years of experience babysitting. During the summer I am a kids camp counselor in Orinda and during the year I babysit for different families. I am friendly, patient, and caring. I can babysit for up to 3 kids at a time. I can make simple meals and help out around the house if necessary. I am happy to work with families who have dogs and cats. I graduated high school last year and am currently taking a gap year so I have lots of extra free time to babysit.
