Find infant babysitters in Berkeley, CA

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.

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.

Hi. My name is Pamela and I have been a childcare provider for over 20 years. When I moved to the Bay Area in 1989, I worked at St. Johns Infant -Toddler Center. From there, I moved to working with preschoolers then finally, I got my teaching credential. I have been working with elementary school children in Oakland since 1993. I love spending time with kids. I make up weekend field trips with my students and dream of having my own weekend outing association for kids in the future. I enjoy taking kids to parks, making up crazy songs and stories and basically being creative. I always bring new, fun things for kids to engage with- clay, cool pop-up books, spinning toys... I feel very comfortable with children and it's mutual. I don't believe in plopping kids in front of a screen when I babysit. I engage them in fun activities and make sure they are never bored. I believe in eating healthy and try to support families if they have that same belief. Go out, have fun and know that your children are in competent hands!

Hello parents! I'm a nurturing individual with a passion for children's growth and development. My journey in childcare stems from a desire to impact young lives positively. With 4 years of Nanny experience and being a former Montessori Teachers Aid, l've honed my skills in providing a safe and stimulating environment for children. I've cared for children ages ranging from 3 months to 11 years old. I worked as an after school teacher and taught coding, clay art, and lego engineering to elementary aged children. Ranging from grades 1st to 4th. I am also an older sister and an aunt. My siblings being now 13 years old and 7 years old. I have helped raise my siblings and have learned from an early age how to take care of children! I believe in fostering a warm and friendly atmosphere where children feel comfortable expressing themselves. My patient and creative approach allows me to engage children in various activities, including outdoor games, board games, and educational games that enhance their learning. I understand the importance of open communication with parents and regularly provide written daily reports and updates on their child's well-being. I firmly believe in following the parents' lead when it comes to enforcing household rules. My background includes college coursework in Early Childhood Education and Development, which has further enhanced my understanding of children's needs.

Caring for children and supporting families is a path I came to through my own upbringing, which gave me a deep appreciation for the importance of emotional support, secure relationships, and attuned caregiving throughout every stage of development. I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Human Development from UC Davis, and was recently awarded my Masters of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology from The Wright Institute. I am currently in a doctoral program, specializing in childhood development and neurodevelopment disorders. Through my clinical training, I have had the privilege of working alongside children and families, bringing both a strong developmental perspective and genuine warmth to every interaction. My experience caring for children began early and has continued consistently through family, community, and professional caregiving. Over the past 12 years, I have worked with children of various ages and developmental needs, experiences that have shaped an approach grounded in careful observation, thoughtful engagement, and a calm, dependable presence. As a caregiver, I am attentive not only to children's safety and well-being, but also to how they think, feel, and make sense of the world around them. I engage with them intentionally, fostering curiosity, communication, confidence, and emotional awareness through meaningful everyday interactions. My clinical and practicum experiences have further strengthened my ability to meet children where they are developmentally while providing structure, warmth, and consistency. I view caregiving as a meaningful responsibility that requires preparation, sound judgment, and genuine compassion. I would be honored to support a family seeking a caregiver who combines extensive hands-on experience with advanced training in child development and clinical psychology. I am committed to working with children and families across different socioeconomic backgrounds, particularly those who may have historically had fewer opportunities to access appropriate services and support. Your financial circumstances should never make you feel that you cannot ask for help. Please feel welcome to reach out, and I will gladly help you explore resources, services, and accommodations that may benefit your child.
