Booked by 24 families in Castro Valley, CA

Hi families! My name is Amber, and I’m a nurturing and energetic caregiver with a strong background in both childcare and healthcare. I’m currently a nursing student at the University of San Francisco, where I’m deepening my knowledge of child development, safety, and wellness—skills I bring into every babysitting experience. With over 6 years of experience in customer-facing roles and a background supervising children ages 5 months to 6 years old at The Bar Method, I’ve developed the ability to stay calm under pressure, adapt quickly, and create fun, engaging, and safe environments for kids of all ages. What sets me apart: CPR/First Aid knowledge through my nursing education (and working toward official certification) Experience with Autism, ADHD, and Dementia A warm, friendly, and creative personality Experience tutoring peers, which translates into helping with homework or schoolwork at home A reliable, organized, and equity-driven mindset: I value every child’s uniqueness and treat them with respect and kindness. Whether you’re looking for a dependable sitter for your child, a responsible helper for school-age children, or someone to step in last-minute with patience and care, I’d love to support your family’s needs when I’m not busy with school. Additionally, I offer household cleaning and pet services! Because of my school schedule, I’m looking for occasional care! Looking forward to connecting!

“Amber was very kind and patient with my 3 year old daughter. She was actively engaged in playing and even brought some of her own things for them to do together.”

Booked by 6 families in Castro Valley, 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 17 families in Castro Valley, 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. ”
