Booked by 50 families in Dublin, CA

Hi my name is Alyssa! I have been babysitting and working with kids for over 9 years. I have experience with cooking, cleaning, and organizing. Currently I am a preschool teacher and have worked with children from 18m and on. When I come to your house to watch your children, I always bring activities for them to do. Whether it’s arts and crafts or playing with cars or dinosaurs I love to sit alongside your child and help them learn through play by asking them questions about what they are playing with and also asking questions to get to know them. I am very good with taking care multiple children as I take care of 8 kids in my classroom daily by myself. Let me know if you have questions and want to set up a phone call or video call.

Booked by 6 families in Dublin, CA

Hi my name is Olue and i am an amazing mother of 2 boys who are 9 and 13yr. I am a college graduate. I enjoy working with children and have been watching kids for over 10yrs. I am experienced in Nanny shares and 1 child care also. My responsibilities are to make sure that i work as a team with parents, feeding, teaching, nurturing, Loving and creating a safe space for a child but most importantly being gentle. Fully vaccinated including Tdap. I already work for a Family part time and have been going 9 months now. I honestly am a great nanny who doesn’t mind helping around the house so parents can come home and spend time with their child. I am a 100% ok with families who have pets.

“Olue was simply amazing. She has a warm, calm presence that both of my boys responded to immediately. My two-year-old is very attached to me, and while he needed a few minutes to warm up, he quickly felt comfortable and connected with Olue — which says so much about her natural ability with children. She was engaging and attentive, met my son exactly where he was, and followed his lead based on his interests and energy level. I felt completely at ease leaving him in her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and genuinely wonderful with kids.”

Booked by 28 families in Dublin, CA

Hi! My name is Alondra, and I am currently a senior at the University of San Francisco majoring in Nursing. My goal is to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, and I have a genuine passion for caring for children and supporting their growth and well-being. I offer reliable, compassionate childcare whenever my school schedule allows. I am CPR certified and a registered caregiver through the state, with experience caring for both children and my own grandparents. My healthcare background has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to remain calm in different situations, giving parents peace of mind while their children are in my care. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, so I am happy to communicate with bilingual families or help children practice Spanish. I’ve also been dancing since I was 3 years old and love incorporating fun, creative activities like dancing, crafts, reading, outdoor play, and games into my time with kids. I love dogs, so I’m more than comfortable caring for pets as well! My goal is to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and have fun. I understand how important it is for parents to trust the person caring for their children, and I strive to be dependable, attentive, and communicative every step of the way. I look forward to meeting your family!

“Prompt, communicative and a hit with our baby boy! Hired before and would hire again!”
