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! My name is Cassandra. I am from Vallejo, CA. I am a college graduate with a B.S. in Molecular Biology and a Minor in Chemistry from Dominican University in San Rafael, CA. I graduated in May 2018 with many honor society achievements and graduation honors. I’m also currently finishing up a B.S. in Nursing! I've had a lot of experience babysitting children of all ages from infancy to preteen and some teenage. I am certified for Basic Life Support for infant/child/adult, which includes CPR/AED. I am also an instructor for both! A little more about me... Currently, I am a high school science teacher (Chemistry, Biomedical Innovations and Medical Interventions). I've played competitive basketball and volleyball as well as the piano all my life. Additionally, to continue my love and passion for sports, I volunteer my time to coaching girls basketball and volleyball. I am the head coach for the JV team and an assistant coach for the Varsity team at a the private high school I teach at. I am also the JV head coach for the volleyball team! I speak a little Italian and I can fully understand Tagalog. I’m hoping to take classes soon to be fluent in Italian again! I look forward to meeting and helping your family!
Hi! My name is Andrea & I’m presently looking to work with new families. I provided care for 2 children consistently for 6 years however, those children are now in full time school so I’m caring for them just occasionally for parents’ date night. I also enjoy providing senior care, as I took care of 3 grandparents in their golden years. I am full of patience & kindness for the little ones & am creative & imaginative. I have energy & endurance for newborns up to teenagers. I have a good understanding of social & emotional needs of both children & seniors. I really love working in environments that require organizational skills as i’m detail oriented. I am highly adaptable to most situations & cool under pressure which i think is a must when caring for little ones & elders. I have no problem with homework guidance. I like meal planning & prepping - love feeding people a healthy but delicious meal. If you’re looking for a highly experienced nanny please reach out. I have 3 adult children so newborns are one of my favorite ages to be with. I love children & connect & bond with them easily. Little ones & our seniors need expert care & i enjoy providing that to families. Thank you.
“Andrea is wonderful - she is highly recommended from long term families she has helped. We are lucky to have her !”
