Booked by 12 families in Emeryville, CA

Hi families! I'm María, an Elementary Teacher from Spain with over 12 years of experience working with children of all ages—from newborns to teens. Over the years, I’ve been a babysitter, camp counselor, activity leader, and spent a wonderful year as an au pair here in California—an experience that made me fall in love with the Bay Area, where I now live! I’m passionate about creating a positive, safe, and fun environment where kids feel happy, supported, and free to be themselves. Whether it’s playing, helping with homework, guiding routines, or simply being a caring presence, I always adapt to each child’s needs and personality. Fluent in both Spanish and English, I love to bring creativity, communication, and even a little language learning into our time together. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and anything that makes your family’s day smoother. If you're looking for someone experienced, warm, and genuinely dedicated to kids of all ages, I’d love to meet you!

“Maria is incredible with my kids. She understands them so well, and she built rapport with them so fast. She is very understanding of their hard moments, too. I recommend her super highly—she’s one of the best caretakers we’ve worked with before.”

My name is Nina, and I am from Sacramento, CA. I am an alumni Psychology major from Menlo College. While attending Menlo College, I also played on the collegiate women's soccer team. I love outdoors and athletics. I currently work as a recruiting coordinator at Menlo College, but before that I worked at SJND High School as an Academic Success Coach. Working at SJND has helped me learn so many new things contributing to my career as a caregiver. I have a true passion for working with children and I am so excited about the opportunity to meet new families and create a relationship with kids. I hope to hear from you :)

Hi! My name is Phia and I would be happy to work with you. I have been working with children professionally since I was 16 but babysat before then. I have worked with children of varying ages, from infants 3 months and older, toddlers, elementary age, all the way up to young teenagers preparing for high school. I graduated from the University of San Francisco with a BA in sociology in May 2022. I now work as a project coordinator supervising youth development and policy at a local non-profit. I still work with babysitting families 1-2 times a week. In the Bay Area, I have worked as an after-school program leader for the YMCA in SFUSD, as well as a classroom aid. Beyond this, I have worked as an interim babysitter and nanny for various families before and during the pandemic. Through my time with the YMCA and other organizations, I have been trained in childhood development and creative education. I enjoy working with kids because it helps me keep in tune with my ability to empathize and stay creative. Children are the expression of a community, so staying in tune with the needs and experiences of youth is better for the community as a whole. Booking and payment policy: Same day cancellation, if you cancel within 4 hours of the booking start time, you are agreeing to pay me 1/2 of lost wages.

“Phia is so great with my kids! She and my toddler especially get along great, and she does an awesome job playing with him. Highly recommend.”

Booked by 31 families in Emeryville, CA

Hello, my name is Ky’Aira and I think I am a great fit for your family! I am 28 and went to Northridge State and moved to Sacramento to get more teaching experience. While I was a teacher there, I taught infants up to 5 year olds. Many families that I bonded with became family and would contact me for watching their child. I became apart of these families and would come to birthdays or just come over on weekends to hang. I thing it’s important to stimulate their minds and bodies. I enjoy creating art and sensory activities for younger children and also anything in a kitchen! Going outside and playing is something that will never be missed because I enjoy outside play and exploring the world around us! I do have teaching background so their will be something to learn throughout basic activities during the day. Putting children to sleep I’ve been told I’m a pro since I am very observant of the body language and needs that child may need to help them sleep. I am more of an academic nanny in the sense of everything we do has a learning component and enjoying independent play to explore their imagination and creativity. I also am very organized and cleaning meaning if you need me to help with anything extra I probably already have done it or would love to help! I have worked with multiple families as a full time nanny and am most knowledgeable with infants up until 3. If you hire me, whether it’s full time or sometimes your child will have an amazing time and you’ll receive pictures and videos during that time so you can see what your loved one is doing. Hoping to hear from you soon!

“Kyaira was so great with my 2 year old! So friendly, so professional! IMO the perfect babysitter! ”
