Yolani $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am YOLANI; I have a bachelor's degree in education. I worked in my country as a primary school teacher for ten years and my first language is Spanish. I am currently working in a preschool from Monday to Friday, I have had this job for over four years. I love this job since every day is a different adventure that can be experienced with each child. By doing this work I think that instead of teaching them something, they teach me and make me remember many things from my childhood. I hope you give me the opportunity to meet you.

Deverly $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Deverly. I’m currently looking for afternoon babysitting and weekend care, and I’m happy to help families who need flexible support. I’ve been caring for children for about 2-3 years now, not including the experience and time I’ve taken care of my younger siblings, and nieces. I am responsible, patient, and attentive, with strong multitasking and communication skills. I create a safe, supportive environment and enjoy helping children feel comfortable and cared for. My reliability and love for kids make me a strong caregiver. I was also a dedicated caregiver for a woman living with multiple sclerosis (MS) for nearly five years, offering patient, reliable care and emotional support.

Maria $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Maria, a highly experienced and compassionate caregiver with a strong background in education and specialized child care. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Preparation for Teaching and currently work as a substitute teacher, supporting students across a wide range of ages, abilities, and learning environments. I previously worked as a Preschool Teacher at La Petite Academy, where I was responsible for maintaining a safe, structured, and nurturing classroom. I supported daily routines, led age-appropriate learning activities, assisted with meals and transitions, and used positive behavior guidance to support social and emotional development. I understand how important consistency, patience, and clear communication are for young children. In addition, I have extensive experience working with children with disabilities and medical needs. I have supported children with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, visual impairments, seizure disorders, behavioral challenges, and children who require tube feeding. Through my work in special education settings, I developed a calm, attentive, and safety-focused approach to care. I am comfortable following care plans, recognizing signs of distress, and working closely with families to meet each child’s individual needs. Beyond my education background, I have spent several years sailing internationally as part of a small crew, traveling over 15,000 nautical miles. This experience strengthened my sense of responsibility, safety awareness, problem-solving skills, and ability to remain calm in high-pressure situations. These qualities directly support my work with children and families. Families describe me as dependable, nurturing, and confident. I take pride in being someone parents can trust with their children’s safety, well-being, and daily care. I genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with children and supporting families with reliable, thoughtful care.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 323 families in El Sobrante, CA

Hi, I’m Nina. I’m a reliable, calm, and experienced caregiver based in Berkeley and Santa Clara Valley. About Me I recently graduated and currently offer babysitting for families looking for someone dependable, warm, and experienced. I take childcare seriously and bring a steady, grounded energy into the home. Experience I have over 10 years of paid childcare experience with children ranging from 2 months to 14 years old. My background includes working as an au pair on the East Coast, a full-time nanny in San Francisco, and a babysitter in Los Angeles. I’m comfortable with dinner routines, bedtime, bath time, light meal prep, homework support, and caring for multiple children at once. I’m organized, attentive, and responsive to each child’s individual needs. My Approach I focus on creating a structured but relaxed environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. For date nights, I aim to keep the evening calm, smooth, and fun while maintaining the family’s usual routine. My style is balanced, consistent, respectful, and calm. I believe children thrive with clear expectations, kindness, and patience. Outside of work, I enjoy the beach, long walks, and a quiet night with a good book. I also have a dog and a cat, so I’m very comfortable around pets. I look forward to connecting and seeing if we’re a good fit!
