Giacomo $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Giacomo, and I have over 4 years of experience working with children of different ages, from 1 year old through school age. I’m responsible, patient, caring, reliable, and energetic. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable and have a great time. I also have international childcare experience, including working as an au pair in Australia. I offer babysitting and nanny services focused on providing attentive and personalized care based on each child’s age, personality, and needs. I enjoy spending quality time with children through play, creative activities, reading, outdoor activities, games, and other age-appropriate experiences. I’m also comfortable helping with meals, daily routines, homework, and keeping children engaged and entertained. Over the past 4 years, I’ve developed strong skills in communication, patience, responsibility, and adapting to different family routines. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and feel comfortable leaving their children with. I speak English and Italian, and I’m happy to communicate openly with parents and follow their preferences and routines. My goal is to provide reliable, caring, and enjoyable childcare while making sure every child feels safe, supported, and comfortable.

“We had the pleasure of working with Diana as the nanny for our 2½-year-old daughter, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Diana is extremely professional, dependable, and always on time. She consistently went above and beyond to support our family in every way possible. Diana cared for our daughter in our home with warmth, patience, and genuine attention. In addition to providing excellent childcare, she helped with light household responsibilities such as folding and organizing laundry, making beds, and keeping our daughter’s space neat and well organized. She also prepared healthy meals for our daughter and made sure her daily routine was followed. Diana regularly picked up our daughter from daycare and took her to the park or library, creating engaging and fun learning experiences. She supported our child’s development through reading, play, and age-appropriate activities, and she also helped with bath time and bedtime routines. Most importantly, Diana created a safe, loving, and structured environment where our daughter thrived. Any family would be fortunate to have her as their nanny, and we would gladly hire her again.”

Booked by 5 families in Oakland, CA

Hey there - I am Kesley, I have more than 6 years of experience in child care, 5 years of experience as a nanny in the Bay Area and San Francisco. I have a lot of driving experience and always drive safe and drive my own car. I have been taking care of a sweet baby girl who’s is going to preschool so I am available in the mornings. I have experience with all ages and I can provide great references. I did graduate with my associates in child development last May. I am really excited to connect and help you with your little ones. On my free time I like the outdoors and spend time with my friends traveling or just hanging out in the area. I am fully vaccinated

“Kesley is truly one of the best babysitters we’ve had! My son is 16mo and every once in a while he’ll start calling her around the house because he really loves spending time with her. Last time she covered a date night for us, he woke up and ran to the living room to look for her to play. Kesley is caring, patient and attentive with our son and we always feel so comfortable leaving knowing he’s in great hands.”

Selome $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Selome. I am a mother and a wife originally from Ethiopia, and I come from a large family. Over the past seven years, I have dedicated my career to working with children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I have experience at a childcare center that serves children from infancy through 13 years old. In this role, I worked in the preschool section with infants and toddlers, as well as in the after-school program for kindergarten through 6th grade. I hold over 12 units of early childhood education certificates and trainings, and I am CPR certified. My experience with infants and toddlers includes essential tasks such as changing diapers and maintaining their cleanliness, feeding them, and providing consistent, healthy sleep routines. I prioritize playtime and engage them in age-appropriate activities, such as visiting the park and participating in hands-on fun that promotes fine motor skills. With older children, I not only organize enjoyable indoor and outdoor activities but also read to them and assist with their schoolwork, fostering a supportive and enriching environment. I have a deep love for animals. I cherished a beautiful dog named Spanky, who was with me for 16 wonderful years until he passed away. Currently, I have two lovely cats named Sophi and Cammy, who have been part of my family for the past 10 years. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with them and playing together.
