Katharine Marie $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a recent UC Berkeley graduate, 22 years old, with a B.A. in English Literature, and I still live in Berkeley. I’ve grown up in a care-oriented, family-centered household with three younger brothers, and helping to raise them has been a central part of my life. From feeding, dressing, and managing bedtime routines to helping with homework and keeping them entertained, I’ve learned firsthand how to balance responsibility, patience, and fun. That lifelong experience, combined with babysitting for other families, has given me a strong foundation in childcare and a deep appreciation for creating nurturing, safe, and engaging environments for children of all ages. I love being active and outdoors, so I enjoy hiking, running, and exploring new spaces with kids, as well as quiet time reading or telling stories to spark creativity and imagination. Growing up in a busy, caring household has taught me empathy, adaptability, and problem-solving. These are skills that I bring to every family or parent that I work with. I’m comfortable helping with light household tasks, meal prep, homework, and daily routines while keeping children happy, safe, and stimulated. I’m happy to babysit anywhere in the Bay Area and am excited to bring my experience, energy, and love of caregiving to new families. I take pride in building trust with both parents and children and creating a positive, supportive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel cared for.

Hello! My name is Leslie, and I have a strong passion for childcare and child development. I have experience working with children of all ages, including children who are neurodivergent.

Zama $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Zama and I am a nanny, who is dependable and experienced childcare professional with over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, school age children, and teenagers. While earning my Business degree at City College of San Francisco. I worked closely with families, helping not only with childcare but also with keeping busy households running smoothly. From preparing meals, grocery shopping, running errands, to driving children to school and activities, planning schedules and helping with homework, I became someone families could rely on. I would describe myself as patient, flexible, resourceful and calm under pressure. Every child is different, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personalities while supporting their growth and independence. My goal is simple: to be someone parents can trust and someone their kids feel happy, safe and excited to spend time with.

Ana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ana, I am 23 years old, and I have been working as a nanny in the United States for the past three months. I have a degree in Pedagogy and over three years of experience working with children as both a teacher and a nanny in Brazil. I am passionate about early childhood education and believe that every child deserves to grow in a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. I am a caring, patient, responsible, and eager-to-learn person. Living in another country has given me the opportunity to experience new cultures, improve my English, and further develop my childcare skills. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new places, reading, and spending time with friends and family. I believe in the importance of kindness, respect, and lifelong learning. My goal is to build trusting relationships with families while providing children with attentive care, support, and plenty of encouragement as they grow and learn.

Diana 1 review
$40 per hour for 1 child

About Me I have 5 years of experience working with children, including after-school programs where I supported students with activities, learning, and development. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and very patient when helping children or families learn new skills. I have built great relationships with the families I’ve worked with and always strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children. Outside of work, I love to dance, work out, ride my bike, bake, cook, and take walks with my dog.

We had a wonderful experience with Diana! She took amazing care of our 5-year-old, handling the entire bedtime routine, putting our child to bed, and even feeding our dog. She is incredibly sweet, patient, and caring. Our child absolutely loves her and always looks forward to seeing her. Her bedtime routine is amazing: calm, organized, and comforting, which made evenings so much easier for us as parents. A huge plus for our family is that Diana speaks Spanish, which has been wonderful since our child is learning the language. We really appreciated the extra exposure and encouragement in such a natural way. We always felt confident leaving our child in her care and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and loving babysitter. We will book her again for sure. Thank so much Diana!
