Booked by 14 families in Berkeley, CA

Hello! My name is Yingzhou.I am a responsible, patient, and caring nanny with over 10 years of experience taking care of children of different ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children can learn and grow. I can help with daily routines such as feeding, bathing, and bedtime, as well as preparing healthy meals, organizing activities and supporting school drop-offs, pick-ups, and extracurricular activities. I believe in positive communication, encouraging creativity, and giving children the attention and care they need. With more than a decade of childcare experience, I understand the importance of supporting parents, being reliable, and keeping an open line of communication. My goal is to make life easier for the family while ensuring the children are happy, healthy, and well cared for. I would love the opportunity to bring my energy, responsibility, and warmth to your family.

“As a FTM, I was so anxious about finding the right care for our newborn. But Ying is not just a nanny, she embodies the definition of “mom”. My only regret is not hiring her sooner but we waited until our daughter was around 3 months and will continue to use her into the foreseeable future (Currently she is now 5.5 months). Sweet, kind, gentle and so much compassion. She’s helpful with the baby, around the house and her knowledge in child care is impressive. She speaks canto, mandarin and her English is great. ”

Booked by 17 families in Berkeley, CA

Hi, I’m Summer! I’m a preschool teacher and artist who absolutely loves working with kids. I’ve been caring for little ones since I was 15, from tiny babies to big kids, and I’m CPR, First Aid, and TrustLine certified. When I’m not in the classroom, I bring the fun to birthday parties as a face painter and balloon artist — so you can count on me to keep kids entertained with creativity, play, and lots of laughs. I love painting, singing, dancing, and exploring nature, and I enjoy sharing that joy with the children I care for.

“After Sky left my son lovingly said about 10 minutes later I wonder how she is doing...that shows you how much fun they had. ”

Booked by 45 families in Berkeley, CA

Hi! My name is Savannah. I recently graduated with a degree in Biochemistry and am currently working while preparing my applications for medical school. I've been caring for children since I was 15 and have experience with all ages from newborns to 15 years old. I've worked with large families (up to five children at once), twins and multiples, and I also have experience as a night nanny. Supporting children with special needs is especially close to my heart, my younger brother, who is 15 years younger than me, is on the autism spectrum, and that's shaped both my understanding and my approach as a caregiver. I'm CPR and EMT certified, and I'm happy to help with everything from date nights and tutoring to outdoor activities and daily routines. I genuinely love working with kids and creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for them to thrive in.

“Savannah was great with our 4-year old. Punctual and great communication. I look forward to her sitting for us again soon!”

Booked by 6 families in Berkeley, CA

Hello! I’m Ana :) I have over 8 years of nannying experience. I have my Masters in Social work and currently work as family therapist full time. I’m saving up to buy a house and am only looking for occasional and date night sitting currently. I am also open to weekend and overnight sitting. I have experience working with children on the spectrum and enjoy working with kids of all ages.

“Ana did a wonderful job with our two boys who can definitely be rambunctious. They went to the park and had a great time. Ana was very communicative and kept us posted the whole time. I felt very comfortable leaving the kids in her hands. House was tidy when we got home. We would love to have her sit for us again soon!”

Booked by 24 families in Berkeley, CA

I am in Taiwan for the next year or two. If you visit and need a babysitter, let me know! My husband and I have been traveling the world for over 4 years. Because I love babies & toddlers, I still want to babysit while on the road. I mostly work with kids between the ages of 6 months to 2. The calendar may not show all my availability. Please reach out if you like my profile. Thanks for your consideration! I worked in the corporate sector focused on finance until 2015 when I left my position at salesforce. Have been self employed since. I decided to become a babysitter because I love children and generally well liked by them. It’s how I get my kids fix :) I tend to become their playmate but will set boundaries when it comes to their safety and well being. I am a foodie and love to cook. My husband and I eat mostly organic food that we make in our own kitchen. I can definitely whip up a healthy delicious meal for your little ones! Cancellation Policy: I am flexible on time adjustments and cancellations as I understand unexpected situations arise. As long as I am available, I will accept extensions and if you need to cancel partial or entire bookings, I do not have any minimum charge or advance notice requirements. I will only charge for hours worked.

“Shirley made our first time having a babysitter for our 7 month old, such a good experience. Her communication, thoughtfulness, and professionalism were wonderful. We couldn't have asked for someone better to care for our little guy while we were out. Thank you Shirley.”
