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.

Selen $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Selen and I live with my partner Joey and our dog Lulu in the Oakland Hills! We have 8 chickens and 6 quails and I love taking care of all of our animals. I have a 2 year old nephew in Oakland, and I've gained a lot of experience being an active auntie in his life (he also loves my dog Lulu). I'm currently in school for my master's in social work at Samuel Merritt University and looking for part-time work helping families in the neighborhood with their kids, pets, and any other caretaking. I'm super friendly, compassionate and would love to help out in any way I can.

Booked by 46 families in Albany, CA

Hi, my name is Knar. I was born and raised in San Francisco and currently live in Oakland, with no issues commuting into the city. I have over 15 years of childcare experience and am deeply passionate about providing nurturing, dependable care that supports children’s growth, confidence, and development. My background includes three years working in a daycare setting and twelve years as a full-time nanny, giving me hands-on experience with children across a wide range of ages and stages. I value building close, trusting relationships with both children and parents and take pride in being a steady, supportive presence in a family’s life. My childcare philosophy centers on creating a safe, loving environment with clear structure, consistency, and care so children feel secure and encouraged as they grow. I am family-oriented, patient, respectful, and highly communicative, and I believe open and honest communication is the foundation of a strong partnership. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with light household tasks such as baby laundry and dishes, introducing solids, supporting developmental milestones, and tailoring care to each child’s unique needs. Availability update: I have a full-time position and am not currently available, but I appreciate you taking the time to view my profile.

$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 150 families in Albany, CA

Hi! My name is Hue (or Emily). I’ve been working with a family in the Panhandle since their baby girl was 8 months old, she’s almost 5 years old and at preschool now. I’ve been with them for 4+ years and am currently looking for a part-time or regular babysitting jobs to fill the hours while she’s at school. I have over 10 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. I’ve worked with single families, nanny shares, and siblings. The youngest baby I’ve cared for was just 2 weeks old. A typical day with a baby includes breakfast, a bottle before the morning nap, lunch with solid foods, and another bottle before the afternoon nap. During the day, I incorporate indoor activities like music, reading, and helping develop motor skills such as crawling, standing, and walking. I also make it a priority to get outside every day - whether it’s going to the park or library for story time - so they can get fresh air, build social skills, and interact with other children. I make sure everything related to the child is clean and organized, including diaper changes, washing bottles, preparing meals, and bathing before parents get home. I’ve had the joy of supporting many important milestones, such as crawling, first teeth, introducing solid foods, sleep training, standing, walking, and nap transitions. While there can be challenges - like sleep training, feeding transitions, or adjusting schedules - I’m patient and experienced in helping both children and parents through those stages. For toddlers, I help with daily routines such as breakfast, snacks, playground time, story time or music classes, lunch, and naps. I also assist with dishes and laundry when needed. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and building a strong, caring relationship with them. I love keeping children active with outdoor activities like going to the park, scootering, biking, and dancing, rather than relying on screens. I also enjoy cooking healthy meals for kids (such as meatballs, beef, salmon, and chicken), and I’m happy to help with light household tasks like dishes, laundry, and organizing children’s spaces. Please feel free to reach out if you think I might be a good fit for your family. Thank you so much!
