Fnu $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I’m Payong. I have 2 years of nanny experience and currently work at Silverado Berkeley. I love caring for children and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can grow
Keiko $24 per hour for 1 child
I am a 4th year college student studying Film and Business Administration. While childcare is not my long-term career path, I have always loved working with kids and families and I've been babysitting for families in my neighborhood since I was in high school. I have a warm and bubbly personality, I'm energetic, and love engaging with children through their hobbies and interests. I enjoy portraiture, model-making, and jewelry-making, so I'm great with arts and crafts and creative activities. I'm neat, organized, patient, and happy to help with cooking and cleaning if needed. Additionally, I have pet sitting experience and am comfortable working with/around animals .
Ella $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi families! My name is Ella and I am a fairly recent grad from Cal Poly Humboldt, who just moved back to the bay area. I have years of experience babysitting and nannying for all ages of kids and genuinely love working with children in all their unique stages. Whether it's keeping little ones entertained, helping with homework, sticking to routines, or simply being a positive and dependable presence, I strive to make every child feel safe, supported, and cared for. I truly understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in their childcare, and I take that responsibility seriously. I enjoy creating fun, engaging experiences while ensuring children's needs and safety always come first. I look forward to connecting with your family!

I am a third grade teacher with fifteen years teaching experience. I work at a public school in Oakland’s Glenview neighborhood. I’m a mama of two kids, ages 17 and 20. I have the summer off and looking for some babysitting gigs!
“Erica was friendly, confident and professional, and she easily got into the swing of things with our two young kids. They had a great time with her, and she sent helpful updates as well so we had a nice evening out.”
Elle $28 per hour for 1 child
Hello everyone! I'm currently looking for a part-time nanny position while I attend graduate school to become a Marriage and Family Therapist. I have extensive experience working with children across both educational and mental health settings, including early childhood education, therapeutic teaching with unhoused youth, behavioral therapy, and school counseling. I am passionate about supporting children's emotional, social, and developmental growth while creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I would love the opportunity to support a family in need of reliable and compassionate childcare ! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or referrals! I also love pets :)
