Booked by 2 families in Berkeley, CA

Hey families! I’m Rachel, originally from Germany, and I’ve been living in the US since 2023. Watching kids grow, learn and explore the world around them brings me so much joy and I take pride in contributing to their development in a meaningful way. With my previous experience as a babysitter, I’ve been entrusted with caring for children of various ages, helping with everything from daily routines to educational activities and outings. My hands-on experience has equipped me with the skills to handle different situations, ensuring both safety and fun for the children in my care. I’m well-organized, attentive, and nurturing, with a strong sense of responsibility. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping, meal prep, and helping with homework. My fluency in both English and German also allows me to introduce a bit of language learning to curious little ones! I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and support you. Please feel free to reach out—I’m excited to meet you and your little ones!

“Rachel has been working with us continuously for about a year, making breakfast and lunch, driving the kids to school, and doing household tidy and organizing. We have three girls small to big, and she works really well with all their ages as well as wrangling them all together (which is not easy!). She's absolutely responsible, timely, and organized, as well as kind, calm, and thoughtful. We cannot recommend her more highly!”

Kamila 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kamila! I am actively looking for a job and offering one-time babysitting, pet care, and household services while I secure an accounting position. I love babysitting and have been watching children for co-workers, family, and friends for the past 5 years. I have babysat children from 6 months to 10 years old. My responsibilities have been crafts, cooking, cleaning, and tutoring. I have a car and feel comfortable doing pickups/dropoffs as needed. I am a fluent Spanish speaker and have helped siblings and classmates with Spanish homework. I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for cats and dogs. I love animals (I have two cats and a snake) and feel comfortable around dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles of all breeds and sizes. I am experienced in providing medical care to animals as well. I regularly care for an epileptic, 70 lb dog.

“When she lived in Utah, Kamila babysat my grandchildren on several occasions for a couple of years when they were 5, 7, and 9. Today, they are 8, 10, and 12 YO, and they still talk about how much fun they had when they were with Kamila. Although the kids enjoyed the time with her, they did not deviate from their routines. Kamila was very diligent, ensuring homework was done, meals were taken at the right time (if required), and bedtime routines were followed. Kamila is very responsible, flexible, and will make herself available even at short notice (if she can do it). She is very professional and reliable. I'd be happy to recommend her any time.”

I am a full-time personal chef working with several families in Oakland looking for additional work. One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to share the joy of cooking and food with my clients' children & I often babysit for families I cook for too. I also have experience teaching gardening and cooking to students K-12.

“Cassandra was amazing. My 4 year old adored her and didn’t want her to leave. Absolutely having her watch my kiddo again. Highly recommend!”
