Yesenia $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Benicia, CA

Hello! My name is Yesenia. I’m a proud mom of three wonderful children and a dedicated preschool teacher with over 4 years of experience working in an early childhood education setting. I hold 12 units in Child Development and have a genuine passion for nurturing young minds through play, music, and creativity. I love engaging little ones with nursery rhymes (especially songs by Ms. Rachel!), reading picture books, and doing arts and crafts that spark imagination. Being a child at heart helps me connect naturally with kids in a fun, caring, and safe way. I’m currently available on weekends for date nights and would be happy to provide your family with loving and dependable care.

Jenna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Jenna and currently enrolled as a student at UC Berkeley I've been working with children for the past few years through a variety of roles, including as a swim coach, a STEM education teacher intern, and baby sitter. These experiences have allowed me to work with children of different ages and personalities from the super shy and introverted children to the really bubbly and energetic little ones! In my free time, I always make sure to take care of myself, whether that's going on walks with my German Shepherd, going to the gym, Pilates, and yoga. I also love to paint, draw, and do all kinds of arts and crafts. I go on TONS of hikes with either myself, my friends, or my family whenever I can. I also enjoy cooking and baking. Something families should know about me is that I absolutely love nature and enjoy encouraging children to spend time exploring the world around them. I am also open to anything so just always feel free to let me know whenever!

Geeta $28 per hour for 1 child

I’am a calm, attentive, and responsible babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I focus on creating a safe, positive environment where kids feel comfortable, heard, and engaged. I’m patient and adaptable, whether that means helping with homework, organizing fun and creative activities, or simply sticking to a child’s routine so they feel secure. I pay close attention to details—like dietary needs, bedtime schedules, and house rules—and I take those seriously. I also believe communication is key, so I make sure to keep parents informed and follow their preferences closely. At the same time, I bring a warm, friendly energy so kids see me as someone they can trust and have fun with, not just someone in charge. Overall, I aim to be dependable, nurturing, and someone both parents and children feel confident with.

Estela $20 per hour for 1 child

For two decades, I've dedicated myself to nurturing young minds and creating enriching environments for children. My passion stems from witnessing their incredible growth and development. I enjoy using my creative and imaginative personality to engage children in outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and caring up to two children, ages newborn to to seven. I maintain open communication with parents, providing updated through verbal discussions or text, always respecting your preferred method. My background includes Early Childhood Education coursework, First Aid training, and CPR Training. I'm also happy to help with cooking and crafts. I hope to bring my experience and love for childcare to your family.
