Hi there! I am employed full-time at a non-profit serving foster youth, and a part-time student at CSU East Bay, working to get my Master's in Social Work. I've always done babysitting on the side, but my two most recent families I babysat for were a couple with two boys (4 and 6) and a couple with a 1 year old girl, and a 6 year old boy. I did date nights for both of these families for five years. I enjoy babysitting (kids are so fun!), and strive to be a safe, nurturing presence when their parents/caregivers are away. I love being able to be goofy and creative with them too! If you have any more questions about me or my experience, please reach out!
Hi, I’m Rachel! I’m in the midst of a career transition and am looking for part time work while I’m in school. I graduated from UC Davis in 2019 and have been working as a UX Designer for the last few years. I’ve recently decided to return to school and pursue my interest in psychology and mental health, in hopes of eventually becoming a therapist. I’ve loved working with kids for as long as I can remember, from playing with my baby cousins in middle school, to working for after school programs and summer camps in high school, to teaching youth ultimate frisbee after college. I’ve worked with children in academic and athletic environments, as well as more traditional in-home babysitting. My priorities are the health and happiness of your children. I love arts and crafts, reading, and spending time outdoors- or whatever your kiddos prefer! I do have a car, and am happy to take your children to activities or appointments. I’m happy to answer any questions and look forward to working with you and your family.
I’m a reliable, warm and attentive 30-year-old based in the Berkeley area, currently transitioning from a career in communications into publishing and bookselling. While I get settled in the East Bay, I’m returning to nannying and babysitting, something I’ve loved and returned to throughout my life. I’ve been caring for children since my teenage years, with consistent experience babysitting and nannying over time. I’m most experienced with children ages 4–12, and I also have some hands-on experience with infants and toddlers. I love being part of a child’s day in a way that feels both fun and supportive, whether that’s imaginative play, helping with homework or creating a calm, engaging environment. I’m naturally organized, communicative and emotionally attuned. I pay close attention to what children need, physically and emotionally, and I do my best to create a space where they feel comfortable, understood and encouraged to be themselves. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as dependable, warm and easy to communicate with. I take pride in being someone parents can trust and someone kids feel at ease around. Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help keep things running smoothly at home! This can include light tidying, organizing, meal prep , etc.
Hello! My name is Leslie, and I have a strong passion for childcare and child development. I have experience working with children of all ages, including children who are neurodivergent. I strive to create a supportive, patient, and engaging environment tailored to each child's needs. Whether it's helping with schoolwork, planning creative activities, or providing a calm and structured routine, I'm here to support your family. I am happy to assist with light housekeeping or meal prep. I'm committed to providing compassionate and reliable care! Some background about me: I am a recent UC Berkeley grad and am currently taking some courses before applying to medical school where I will aim to become a pediatrician. Some of my hobbies include baking and reading. I am also fluent in Spanish and can aid the child into learning a new language if that is something they are interested in! I am currently available for occasional babysitting after late afternoons and weekends as well. Don't hesitate to reach out and we can see if your kiddo and I are a good fit!!
Fostering children's growth and development is my true passion. Over the past two years, I have embraced the opportunity to make a positive impact on young lives through dedicated caregiving. I am a patient, calm, and creative professional who genuinely enjoys engaging children through educational games, puzzles, and board games. I hold First Aid Training certification and am very comfortable enforcing your household rules to ensure consistency. Whether I am assisting with meal preparation, light housekeeping, or supervising swimming, I prioritize safety and fun. I value clear communication and will provide regular updates via text or in-person chats to keep you informed about your child's day. I am comfortable caring for up to three children across all age groups. I look forward to bringing my imaginative approach to your home and becoming a supportive, trusted partner in your family's daily life.
