Hi! I’m Malissa — a reliable, flexible babysitter with 10+ years of experience. I’m 32, have my own car, and work with several wonderful families on both a weekly and occasional basis. I offer date night, overnight, and travel care, as well as pet and house-sitting. I work fully remote Monday–Friday (8–5), which allows me to help with school pickups, bring kids home, and keep them safe and engaged while I finish my workday. I’m happy to work from your home with Wi-Fi and a place to sit—this setup works great for the families I currently support. I’ve cared for children ages 0–17 and can help with homework, meals, light tidying, bedtime routines, and pet care—while making sure your kids are safe, happy, and well cared for. I accept Apple Pay, Zelle, check, and cash, and ask that payment be made by the time I leave. Overnight and travel care are available with custom rates, and I request toll reimbursement when applicable. I love building long-term relationships with families and look forward to meeting you! Warmly, Malissa

Fully vaccinated and boosted. I have many years of childcare experience, both teaching and nanny/babysitting. I especially enjoy working with infants and toddlers and supporting developmental growth in those early years. I love being outdoors and it certainly comes through when I am with kids! I especially like playing outside, going for walks, and observing nature. I also love a good book and am happy to read out loud to children. In my free time I enjoy yoga, rock climbing, hiking, and dancing. I am very creative and I like making crafts and drawing stories with children. My previous work experience includes teaching kids gardening, cooking, crafts, and wilderness skills.

Alison was kind, pleasant, timely and attentive. We would be happy to have her watch our son again.

Booked by 3 families in Hercules, CA

Hello, I look forward to meeting your family and pets. I have experience with giving care for 1-9 year olds. I have personal experience with raising, training, and caring for dogs. I am a masters of nursing student so my time may be limited due to school, but I would love to spend any free time I have babysitting for any family members.

Tina helped keep an eye on our little one during a family party at the park. It was a unique situation but Tina was game for the challenge. Very communicative, sweet, and flexible!

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.

Cared for newborns (preemies & twins) and infants to preschoolers! Families’ references include the words caring, nurturing, patient, honest, flexible, punctual and playful , with me being called “Aunty” by the little ones who easily adapt to and are comfortable with me. Keeping open communication about their day and evening activity with parents is a priority, while focusing on their safety and maintaining a clean environment with no distractions from electronics. Being available for sleep training and transitioning babies from breast/bottle to solid food are invaluable. Along with a keen awareness of developmental goals and providing age appropriate educational activities as little ones grow, are proven examples of an experienced, well educated caregiver who strives to maintain a calm, respectful and positive family structure.
