Booked by 3 families in Oakland, CA

Hi, My name is Tierra, I’m looking for part time and weekend work. I’m available early mornings and evenings. I have experience with children from newborn to elementary school age. I’m responsible and reliable. In 2022 I was a nanny for siblings a two year old boy and a 9 month old girl for a couple of months before she was old enough to start school. I was also a babysitter for a pair of sisters 3 years old and 2 years old. I work as a third grade after school teacher. I also used to volunteer at a preschool. I’m ok with doing light housekeeping if needed (dishes, laundry, sweeping, vacuuming, and wiping down counters/toys)

“Tierra has cared for my son several times this past summer, from 16 months to 19 months old. She is kind, patient, and playful with him. It's an added benefit that she works as a teacher. I will definitely hire Tierra again.”

Hi! My name is Melissa and I’m a full-time healthcare professional working in San Francisco. I offer evening and weekend babysitting for families who need reliable care for date nights or occasional help. I have several years of babysitting experience and truly enjoy spending time with kids. I’m comfortable helping with dinner, playtime, reading, and bedtime routines, and I always aim to create a calm, safe, and fun environment while parents are away. Families describe me as responsible, patient, and dependable. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their children with someone they trust, and I always strive to make evenings smooth and stress-free for everyone. I’m based in Mission Bay and happy to help families in nearby neighborhoods such as Dogpatch, Potrero Hill, SoMa, and surrounding areas. I’m also comfortable with pets and light tidying after activities. Looking forward to helping families enjoy a worry-free night out!

Olivia $31 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Olivia! I work in healthcare and love working with families. I'm reliable and I have firm boundaries. I'm curious and one hundred percent engaged. Happy to help with homework, run errands, cook, do chores and of course spend time with your kids. I want to support in any way that I can because being a parent is hard. I'm available after 5pm on weekdays. I like some flexibility on weekends will room for accommodation.

Booked by 5 families in Oakland, CA

My experience mainly comes from my family. I have been babysitting my little brother since I was 10 and he was 6. More recently, I have been babysitting my cousins, a 1-year-old, a 4-year-old, and a 9-year-old. I have also managed kids at various summer camps. Whenever I take care of my cousins, we always end up belting out show tunes on our made-up stage. On the quieter side, I also like to draw and do paper crafts, so I am more than happy to sit with kids and do crafts for hours. I’m looking for summer work before heading off to college, and I’d love to help make your family’s summer a little easier.

“Our daughter had a great time with Zazie!”
