Booked by 1 family in Hercules, CA

Hi! I’m Daniela, I’m 30 years old and I’m from Brazil. I have over 8 years of experience working with children, including 2 years as an Au Pair caring for three kids. I studied nursing in Brazil, and I’m CNA and CPR certified. I love spending time with kids, planning fun activities, doing arts and crafts, going to the park, playing games, and helping them learn and grow. I’m also experienced with meal prep, homework, potty training, and light housekeeping. I’d describe myself as caring, patient, fun, responsible, and organized. I’m a strong driver, and I always make safety a priority. I genuinely love what I do and enjoy creating a fun, loving environment where kids feel comfortable and supported!

Melissa $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Melissa and I grew up in the Bay Area, I am offering house sitting, dog or cat sitting, or part-time babysitting. I have worked for the City of San Pablo for about 3 years now. My position there is a part-time recreation leader where I facilitated activities for youth in summer camps, school break camps, & field trips! I am quick to learn new things & I love activities outdoors. I am also very good at arts & crafts which helps me build strong relationships with any child that I care for. I own two dogs, one of which has passed away, & I get along really well with animals! I also currently work at a small cafe in San Pablo, CA. I can multitask, clean & run errands as needed. I am open to housesitting, cat/dogsitting, & of course childcare!

Gabrielle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Gabrielle. I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable person who genuinely loves spending time with children. I’ve been involved in my church’s children’s ministry since I was a teenager, caring for children of all ages—from just a few months old through high school. Over the years, that experience has taught me how to connect with different personalities and age groups, keep children engaged, manage routines, and create an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and happy to help with age-appropriate activities, simple meals or snacks, and light household tasks. I’m also very comfortable around pets. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in the person caring for their children, so I take safety, communication, reliability, and trust very seriously. I truly love kids and would be happy to become someone your family can depend on.

Booked by 81 families in Hercules, CA

Hi - My name is Thalissa but you can call me Thali! I’ve been working with kids since I was 16, but my first experience came with my little sister’s birth almost 20 years ago. I started by taking care of her and then began babysitting for my neighbors back in Brazil. I’ve been working with different families in America since I got here 9 years ago. I am in the Berkeley area but also have worked in Oakland, Piedmont, Orinda, Moraga, Kensington, Albany, El Cerrito, and Alameda. I just had a baby girl mid April last year and took a break to enjoy motherhood! I am now back looking for new families! Please let me know if you think we could work well together and we can talk more about it. I have plenty of experience with infants, toddlers and older kids. I can also help with light housework and meal prepping. Last minute/same day requests: I will always try to accommodate as best as I can for same-day and last-minute requests, but please do keep in mind that I also have to find care for my child unless you are comfortable with me bringing her along. Cancelation policy: Please note that a 24 hour notice is expected for cancelations. If you happen to cancel a job and not allowed for a 24 hour notice, I expect to be paid for 50% of the agreed upon hours. If you cancel a job less than 12 hours before start time, I expect to be paid for all of the agreed upon hours. Emergencies do occur, but please take into account that this is my only source of income. Additionally, I always expect to be paid for all of the hours booked, even if you come home earlier or if the booking hours are changed less than a week before the job booked. This policy helps me structure and commit to my schedule, and allows for a mutual and transparent agreement. Work policy: I do not charge for cleaning after the kids and of course myself, and light housekeeping, but if it is expected housework and not agreed to beforehand I am not responsible for fulfilling it. I also charge 1.5x my rate for big holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thank you. Thali

“Thali was punctual, respectful, and great with the kids. They seem to feel comfortable in her presence even though we usually only have family watching them. Highly recommend!”
