Booked by 1 family in San Ramon, CA

Hello! My name is Olivia. I am 26 years old. I have 10 years experience with babysitting and nannying (the video on my profile is a few years old) for newborn babies-10 years old. Your child will be in a supervised, safe, and stable environment. I am responsible and reliable. I believe I could be a great fit for you, your children and your family. I am currently employed full time at a printing company in San Ramon but I would love to work as a full time nanny again. I am very flexible with my schedule, I can work more than 8hrs a day and sometimes on weekend too.

Makena $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Makena, and I'm a 20-year-old student at the University of Kentucky originally from San Ramon, California and will be in San Ramon for the summer. I've always enjoyed working with kids and have experience babysitting, including caring for a 10-year-old boy over the summer, experience as a summer camp counselor, and helped as an assistant cheer coach for the summer at California high school. During my time babysitting, I helped with meals, transportation, activities, and making sure he had a fun and safe time. I'm also comfortable caring for pets and have experience with both cats and dogs. As a former Division I athlete and lifelong cheerleader, I'm energetic, patient, good under pressure, and love to stay active. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and judgement free environment where they can feel comfortable and have fun. I have my own car and am happy to help with pick-ups, drop-offs, and other tasks as needed. My goal is to be someone both kids and parents can trust, and I would love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Coni $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Coni, I’m from Argentina and I’m a primary school teacher, with about 3 years of experience teaching back home. I’ve also spent more than 5 years taking care of kids of all ages, from babies to older kids, and I really enjoy being around them. I’m very comfortable driving kids around, like school drop-offs, activities, playdates, and helping keep their routines on track. I also help with homework and anything they need during the day. I enjoy spending time with kids through activities like arts and crafts, music, playing, and outdoor time. I like to keep things fun but also meaningful, helping them learn, be creative, and feel comfortable and safe. I’m also happy to help with light household stuff like preparing meals for the kids, tidying up, or running errands if needed. I love animals and grew up with them, so I’m totally comfortable around pets too. I’m responsible, patient, easygoing, and I speak both Spanish and English. Looking forward to meeting you!

Weronika $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced nanny, babysitter, and pet sitter with a strong background in child development and a genuine passion for working with children. I have cared for children as young as 2 months old up to 14 years old, including families with multiple children. My favorite age group to work with is infants through preschoolers (0–5 years), as I love supporting their early learning, curiosity, and social-emotional growth. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and happy. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each family’s unique needs and routines. In addition to childcare, I also provide pet sitting and house sitting services, with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I treat every home, child, and pet with the same level of care and responsibility as if they were my own.

Booked by 1 family in San Ramon, CA

Hi, my name is Ellen. I'm retired and have been pet sitting for over six years. I am reliable, responsible, caring and attentive. I pride myself on keeping your pets' routine as consistent as possible including their usual feeding times, walks, medications and plenty of attention and cuddle time. I understand how important good communication is when you're away from your pets. I'm happy to send photos and updates and stay in touch as much or as little as you'd like. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you are away. References available

“I honestly can’t recommend her enough! She is absolutely amazing with dogs and treats every pet like they’re her own. She is incredibly loving, attentive, and reliable, and I never have to worry for a second when my dog is with her. She takes her on walks, gives her tons of attention, and somehow manages to spoil her even more than I do! My dog absolutely loves her and is always so excited to see her, which says everything. She’s also the kind of person who genuinely loves animals, so this isn’t just a job for her. She really cares about them and makes sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I would trust her with my dog anytime and recommend her 100% to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets.”

"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!"
