$32 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 173 families in Albany, CA

Hi! My name is Phia and I would be happy to work with you. I have been working with children professionally since I was 16 but babysat before then. I have worked with children of varying ages, from infants 3 months and older, toddlers, elementary age, all the way up to young teenagers preparing for high school. I graduated from the University of San Francisco with a BA in sociology in May 2022. I now work as a project coordinator supervising youth development and policy at a local non-profit. I still work with babysitting families 1-2 times a week. In the Bay Area, I have worked as an after-school program leader for the YMCA in SFUSD, as well as a classroom aid. Beyond this, I have worked as an interim babysitter and nanny for various families before and during the pandemic. Through my time with the YMCA and other organizations, I have been trained in childhood development and creative education. I enjoy working with kids because it helps me keep in tune with my ability to empathize and stay creative. Children are the expression of a community, so staying in tune with the needs and experiences of youth is better for the community as a whole. Booking and payment policy: Same day cancellation, if you cancel within 4 hours of the booking start time, you are agreeing to pay me 1/2 of lost wages.

“Phia is so great with my kids! She and my toddler especially get along great, and she does an awesome job playing with him. Highly recommend.”

Booked by 42 families in Albany, CA

Hello, My name is Lisa, and I recently graduated from U.C. Berkeley. Over the past two years, I've had the pleasure of working with several families, caring for kids between the ages of 2 and 10. I'm currently a nanny for a 7-year-old and a 4-year-old, and have been with their family for the last two years. I genuinely love working with kids—their positivity, creativity, and boundless energy make my time with them both fun and rewarding. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your family. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

“Lisa was wonderful! She arrived on time, immediately started interacting with my son, and has such a kind energy. She was responsive and even cleaned up after mealtime. She gave us a detailed run down of how the night went when we got home (everything was great!). We’d love to hire Lisa again! ”

Hi! I'm Yalili. I bring a warm, structured approach to childcare—whether it's story time, arts and crafts, or helping with routines. I'm bilingual (English/Spanish), patient, and attentive to each child's unique personality and needs. I also love encouraging little ones' curiosity and supporting busy parents however I can. Whether you're looking for someone part-time, occasional, or backup care, I’d love to support your family with love, structure, and reliability.

Booked by 98 families in Albany, CA

Hi there! I am a graduate from USF with a background in healthcare and a Micro-Credential in Behavioral Health. With over 10 years of experience working with children in daycare settings and ABA (applied behavior analysis), specializing in kids with autism, I am well-equipped to provide care for your little ones. I have worked with children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids and teenagers, and I am passionate about engaging them in fun and enriching activities both indoors and outdoors. I am CPR/BSL certified, up-to-date on my FLU vaccine and TB test, and fully vaccinated against COVID-19. I prioritize open communication and honesty with the families I work with, and I am always willing to lend a helping hand with light household tasks. I do provide more help for additional fees; please ask about this, and we can discuss further. Whether it's a day full of outdoor adventures or indoor activities like reading, puzzles, and arts and crafts, I am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your children (I have little nephews and a niece so I think about how I would want them cared for and provide that level of care to children I work with). I am comfortable wearing a mask if needed and am happy to accommodate any special requests or concerns you may have. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about me, please don't hesitate to reach out. I am excited to connect with your family and provide the best possible care for your little ones. Thank you for considering me for your babysitting needs!

“Luisa was great. She was so easy to communicate with and coordinate with and very sweet and helpful with my kids. ”

Jennie

$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 43 families in Albany, CA

I have over 20 years of experience caring for all ages of children including over 10 years working exclusively with twin infants and toddlers. As a full-time nanny and family assistant I also helped with light housekeeping, driving children to school/activities, pet care, and preparing meals. My warm and energetic personality combined with an extensive knowledge base in childcare and developmentally appropriate activities allows me to fit in seamlessly with families and their specific needs. I am able to connect with children immediately and I often amaze parents with how quickly their “slow-to-warm” little engages with me. In addition to providing a safe and nurturing environment I bring a proactive approach to my work with families and truly enjoy offering support and pitching in. I am also available to help with deep cleaning projects, packing/unpacking, preparing for a move, and organizational projects in the home. I have a B.S. in Health Sciences and in my non-childcare hours I work as a marketing and web design consultant.

“Jennie was great with our 10 month old. We will definitely be hiring her again”
