Booked by 2 families in Sunol, CA

Hi there! My name is Janna and I just graduated from CSUEB with my BA in Sociology. I have been babysitting in a casual familial setting since I was a tween and am looking to expand my services into a more professional environment. I offer child care to children from 6 months old to tween ages (including twins). I can also provide household services including cleaning, laundry, cooking, & running errands if needed. I have a driver's license and car if children need to be picked up or dropped off from extracurriculars or any appointments. I am happy to curate interactive and creative activities for kids to enjoy such as art, games, and active time. I love caregiving as it is so fulfilling to be a part of a child's journey into the world. I'm excited to hear back from you.

“We love Janna! I hired her to be my nephew’s after school caregiver. She has completed 3 bookings with us. She is so amazing, she’s on time, a good communicator, has a great attitude and my nephew always is sad when she has to leave. She’s very engaging with young children and has a fun approach to childcare. She also is great at ensuring he completes his homework and maintains the schedule, despite his hyperactive behaviors. We’re always looking forward to a fun day with Janna!”

Katie $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Sunol, CA

Hi! I’m Katie, a 23 year old artist with a BFA in Fashion Design from Parsons in NYC. I recently moved back home to the Tri-Valley and am looking for babysitting roles during this transitional period of my life. I’ve been around children in my community my whole life, taken child development/psychology courses in school (high school and college-level), have worked at a gym daycare for 1 year, and babysat in NYC— so you’re in good hands! A little bit about my childcare philosophy: I am passionate about holistic wellbeing and learning through creativity/activity. I see childcare as a two-way relationship that prioritizes the child’s unique development. I also learn so much by being around children! I’m extremely reliable, honest, and communicative, and will ensure that the parent’s wishes are met, and, of course, the safety of your child. I’m great at engaging children in active play and crafts, if that’s something you would like. I am comfortable cooking/preparing snacks for your child as needed and going through bedtime routines. I have experience working with all ages, from as young as 7 months. I look forward to meeting with you and your little one(s), thank you! 🥰 ~ Katie 🎨🌱🫧❣️🎀

Booked by 6 families in Sunol, CA

My name is Fernanda, and I am from Colombia. I am university trained and licensed as a teacher in Colombia where I taught children ages 4 years to 14 years old. I am fluent in English and Spanish and for the past 2 years have been employed as a nanny caring for children ages 6 months to 3 years old. I am a very patient, responsible, and dependable person who is about promoting the well-being and overall development of children.

“Maria (she goes by Fernanda) was great with my two year old. She got here right as I was in the middle of my daughter having just had an accident. Fernanda took over and handled it without complaint and helped change her. My toddler warmed up to her immediately and Fernanda took great care of her. Would definitely have her back!”

Booked by 4 families in Sunol, CA

I have over five years of experience working as a Registered Behavior Technician with children and teenagers ages 2–17. I have supported children with different communication, behavioral and developmental needs in both home and community settings. My experience includes helping with daily routines, play, homework, communication skills, social skills and age-appropriate activities. I am also familiar with PECS, basic ASL, positive reinforcement and safely responding to challenging behaviors. I am patient, dependable and attentive and I always work to make children feel comfortable, understood and safe. I enjoy building trusting relationships with both children and their families while providing care that fits each child’s personality and individual needs.

“Kulvir looked after my 1-year-old son for the day. She was punctual, warm, and kept him engaged the entire time with books, toys, and lots of interaction. She took care of feeding him meals, cleanup, diaper changes, and rocked him to sleep for his nap. My son noticeably loved spending time with her. As an anxious parent checking in throughout the day, she completely put my mind at ease. I feel fully confident having her watch him again and highly recommend her!”

"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!"
