HI! My name is Mariane, 34 years old. I have my own car and don’t mind driving to the job, max 30 miles distance. I have experience with all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I'm fun and communicative, the kind of babysitter that really sits and play with the kids. I like to find fun activities, like arts&crafts, coloring, or some learning activity. I can help with homework, pick up from school, drive to activities, watch them for a date night or just give you a little break when need it (we all need it right?). I also know how and love to swim! If you have any questions, please feel free to text me, I'm looking forward to work with you!
Hi, my name is Stephanie. I’m 18 years old and I’m about to start college. I have experience caring for children between the ages of 3–11 through helping take care of my younger siblings and occasionally babysitting for families. I enjoy spending time with kids and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and I always try to create a positive and fun environment for the children I’m looking after.
I have been a teacher for over 25 years. I have done infant care. I have taught junior high and high school intervention programs and teen parenting classes . I am a preschool teacher for Oakland Unified .I really enjoy spending time with children. I am creative. I like to do art and craft projects.

Hi there! My name is Gwen, and I'm genuinely passionate about working with children. As an early childhood education professional, I absolutely love creating fun, safe, and nurturing spaces where kids can truly thrive. My experience as a TK/Kinder classroom leader and an assistant teacher at a preschool has given me hands-on skills in engaging young learners and supporting their growth. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your little ones are in capable hands. I'm also currently studying Early Childhood Studies at Sonoma State University, which means I'm always learning new ways to support children's development and make our time together enriching and engaging. I'm excited for the opportunity to build positive relationships with both your children and your family!
