Flavia 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child

Hello family, I’m Flavia Martins, from Brazil, and I have been working as nanny for about 14 years. I have a lot of experience with newborn, babies to teenager and experience with kids Autistic, ADHD and Special Needs! I use to drive them around, take them to the park and their activities, meal prep, help with homework and I love to be outside and do arts and crafts with kids! My last job I watched two girls, 10 months an 4yo. I worked for this family for about 2 years and now I'm currently looking for one time job, part time job or/and weekends job. I'm very friendly person, easy going, patient and lovely. I also have two kids of my own, one is 17yo boy and my girl is 13yo! I have a CPR and I'm fluent Portuguese language too. I have good references, if you need too.

“Flavia is fantastic all around! She has helped our family several times and is very reliable and dependable. She is excellent with our 3-year old boy and 1-year old girl and they love it when Flavia comes over. Flavia has great positivity and energy and plays very well with the kids. Flavia also communicates very well and is very responsive. Further, she is extremely helpful around the house with any cleaning or chores that could be needed. Highly recommend!”

Lily $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m 27 and have been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I have experience with kids of all ages and am comfortable caring for everyone from little ones to older kids. I work full-time during the day, so I’m typically available for evening babysitting from around 5–11pm. I’m happy to help with dinner, playtime, bedtime routines, or just keeping everyone entertained while you enjoy a night out! In my free time, I love reading, making art, and staying active and playing sports, and I’m always happy to incorporate those interests into activities with the kids I babysit. I’m responsible, dependable, and love creating a fun, comfortable environment for kids while making sure parents can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

Booked by 1 family in Oakland, CA

Hi! My name is Jhennifer, I’m Brazilian, and I'm currently living in San Francisco, California. I am offering child care services. I have more than 12 years of experience caring for children of different ages, from babies to teenagers. In Brazil, I worked at a preschool as an assistant teacher and cared for several children across different age groups. Currently, in San Francisco, I work as a caregiver for an 8-month-old baby and his siblings (4 and 5 years old), handling routines like feeding, baths, bedtime, and engaging activities. I’m responsible, patient, and truly enjoy creating fun, age-and-development-appropriate activities. I also love cooking and keeping kids safe and entertained. I speak Portuguese natively and am currently improving my English. I am excited to help local families who need a reliable and experienced babysitter!

Marlen $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Marlen — I grew up playing soccer and now coach youth teams, so I have a lot of experience working with kids and keeping them engaged and active. As the oldest of four siblings, I helped a lot with taking care of my siblings, and I’ve also done childcare before. I know how to keep little ones safe, entertained, and on track with their routines. In my day job I manage complex scheduling and operations for a healthcare organization, so I’m organized, reliable, and dependable. Outside of work, I love music, travel, and staying active. Looking forward to connecting with your family!
