Emma $25 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience working with children through my summers as a nanny, where I handled daily routines, prepared meals, coordinated extracurricular activities, managed household tasks, and ensured a safe, engaging environment. I’ve also worked with seniors in an assisted living setting, where I greeted residents and families, supported caregivers, completed medical charting, helped serve meals, trained new staff, and stayed on call to address needs as they arose. These roles taught me empathy, patience, and how to respond calmly and efficiently in sensitive situations. In addition to childcare and senior support, I’m comfortable assisting with household responsibilities—organizing, scheduling, tidying, running errands, coordinating appointments, and managing day-to-day tasks. I’ve also had roles involving pets, including walking dogs and incorporating them into daily routines while nannying. My strengths include strong communication skills, dependable time management, adaptability, and a genuine commitment to helping others. I’m detail-oriented, organized, and able to learn new systems or routines quickly. Above all, I am caring, trustworthy, and dedicated to creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment for individuals and families!

Payton $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Payton and I'm currently working as an engineer full-time. I am looking to make some extra cash on the side and enjoy spending time with kids (and animals). I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old and worked full-time as a nanny for two summers for two awesome girls (4&6). I have also worked/volunteered as a soccer coach, in-school translator, and tutor. I can cook, help around the house and run errands where needed. I currently have cats and have previously had a dog and am more than happy to help with any animals.

Lise $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I began babysitting in high school and have been working with kids ever since. Throughout college, I worked at an outdoor day camp with preschool and elementary-aged kids. Upon graduating college, I got a job working as a science and garden teacher in a San Francisco elementary school, teaching classes about nature, biology, ecology, gardening, and food. I stayed in that role for 3 years and worked as a part time nanny and babysat throughout that time as well. I now work as a massage therapist in Berkeley and miss getting to work regularly with kids. When working with kids, I prioritize play, learning, and connection, but I also am confident in setting boundaries and expectations when it comes to safety and your family's rules! I have training in social-emotional learning and trauma-informed practice and feel comfortable setting those boundaries in a way that still expresses care and connection. If you have a child with music, art, or food interests, I am happy to help out with those! I have been playing jazz bass for 13 years, have spent a lot of time doing various kinds of art (and have led art weeks at camps), and have led cooking classes with kids. I have also played a lot different sports, including ultimate frisbee, soccer, water polo, lacrosse, and basketball, and would be happy to pass a ball with a sport-enthusiast. I am happy to do various tasks, including making dinner, helping with homework, getting outside, etc. I am able to drive and have a car, so I can also pick kids up/drop them off if need be. I am happy to answer any other questions you may have about my experience! Thanks!

Booked by 321 families in Alameda, CA

Hi, I’m Nina. I’m a reliable, calm, and experienced caregiver based in Berkeley and Santa Clara Valley. About Me I recently graduated and currently offer babysitting for families looking for someone dependable, warm, and experienced. I take childcare seriously and bring a steady, grounded energy into the home. Experience I have over 10 years of paid childcare experience with children ranging from 2 months to 14 years old. My background includes working as an au pair on the East Coast, a full-time nanny in San Francisco, and a babysitter in Los Angeles. I’m comfortable with dinner routines, bedtime, bath time, light meal prep, homework support, and caring for multiple children at once. I’m organized, attentive, and responsive to each child’s individual needs. My Approach I focus on creating a structured but relaxed environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. For date nights, I aim to keep the evening calm, smooth, and fun while maintaining the family’s usual routine. My style is balanced, consistent, respectful, and calm. I believe children thrive with clear expectations, kindness, and patience. Outside of work, I enjoy the beach, long walks, and a quiet night with a good book. I also have a dog and a cat, so I’m very comfortable around pets. I look forward to connecting and seeing if we’re a good fit!
