I love arts and crafts and using the imagination to explore! :) Whether you need a last minute babysitter or to plan something in advance, I would be happy to help and promise that your little one will be well taken care of!

Hello Parents, I’m currently available for occasional babysitting and part-time childcare in Oakland. My childcare journey began in 2009, when I worked as an Au Pair in the Netherlands for a wonderful family with a seven-year-old boy and a nine-year-old girl. After moving to the U.S. in 2011, I continued babysitting and have since gained experience with infants, multiples, and school-age children. Beyond keeping kids safe and supported, I focus on modeling kindness, curiosity, and respect. I enjoy supporting children as they build confidence, independence, and thoughtfulness. I have extensive experience with infants, babies (including multiples), toddlers, and school-age children. My most recent long-term childcare role was in 2021, caring for a one-year-old baby girl. Since then, I’ve continued babysitting regularly and maintaining long-term relationships with families. I’ve studied Child Development at Merritt College in Oakland, hold a Bachelor’s degree in Advertising with a minor in Cinema, and recently completed my MBA. Outside of work, I’m a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and enjoy walking, roller skating, playing music, reading, and watching movies. I’d love to meet your family and provide thoughtful, reliable care for your children. Thank you!

“Our family loves Leine. She is super reliable, a trusted companion to the kids, and very proactive with tidying around the house when she has time”

Booked by 37 families in Oakland, CA

Hellooo!! I’m Guadalupe but you can call me Guada, it is shorter and easier to pronounce :) I am looking for a part time very early in the mornings, or in the afternoons, ideally ~ 3 to 6pm (I have a remote part time job as well). I am a former Au Pair, and I lived with my host family for 3.5 years taking care of 2 kids (5 and 6 years old). Also, I have ~4 years of experience with two 5 y/o kids + experience with many occasional jobs with different families including baby-sitting and house management. Let me know if you are looking for a part time nanny or you need occasional help in the evenings! Gracias, Thank you! 7 years of experience working with kids ✔️ Experience handling situations with kids with special needs ✔️ Vaccinated + Booster ✔️ Energetic and highly motivated 🔝 Drivers license + experience driving in SF ✔️ I don't own a car❗️

“My 2 boys asked "when can Guadalupe come back?" as soon as she left. I asked what they liked and they said "she's so nice!" So, she was totally great to have over, and I would definitely ask for her help in the future!”
