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!

Booked by 6 families in El Sobrante, CA

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 !”

Booked by 1 family in El Sobrante, CA

Hi, my name is Raine! I’m 22 years old. I am currently enrolled in college (online) and will be transferring to UC Davis this fall. I love to babysit in my free time. I am studying to be a school psychologist and have a very strong passion for working with kids. I’d say I’m very experienced as I’ve had the chance to grow up learning and gaining experience in a classroom alongside my sister who has been a special education teacher for 15+ years. Also, since I was around 14 I’ve been known as the “babysitter” in my family. I’ve been watching my niece and nephew since they were newborns. Since then I’ve started babysitting independently for a few families I’ve met through my job. I also ran a “daycare” center at my job for over a year. I was in charge of children aged 2-13 for a few hours every Friday night. I am CPR certified as well. & I am also highly experienced in pet sitting and house sitting! I can assure you that your kids & or pets will be in great hands!
