Hi! I'm Gabriella (Gabbii), a childcare provider with 5–10 years of experience working with children of all ages — from newborns to school-age kids. My background includes hands-on work at a daycare center, years of babysitting for local families, and ongoing volunteer work with infants and toddlers. I'm also CPR and First Aid certified, so parents can feel confident their little ones are in safe, capable hands. I'm passionate about creating nurturing environments where kids feel comfortable and have fun. Whether it's playtime, storytime, or helping with homework, I bring patience, energy, and genuine care to every family I work with. I'd love to meet your little ones!
Hi - My name is Yulianna and I'm currently a junior at SJSU. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching, infants, toddlers, and kids. I have a strong background in working with children, working as a teacher aide and teacher for schools throughout the Bay Area. I am a registered behavioral technician and am CPR/BLS certified. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparent and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs.
Hi! My name is Kamila! I am actively looking for a job and offering one-time babysitting, pet care, and household services while I secure an accounting position. I love babysitting and have been watching children for co-workers, family, and friends for the past 5 years. I have babysat children from 6 months to 10 years old. My responsibilities have been crafts, cooking, cleaning, and tutoring. I have a car and feel comfortable doing pickups/dropoffs as needed. I am a fluent Spanish speaker and have helped siblings and classmates with Spanish homework. I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for cats and dogs. I love animals (I have two cats and a snake) and feel comfortable around dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles of all breeds and sizes. I am experienced in providing medical care to animals as well. I regularly care for an epileptic, 70 lb dog.
“When she lived in Utah, Kamila babysat my grandchildren on several occasions for a couple of years when they were 5, 7, and 9. Today, they are 8, 10, and 12 YO, and they still talk about how much fun they had when they were with Kamila. Although the kids enjoyed the time with her, they did not deviate from their routines. Kamila was very diligent, ensuring homework was done, meals were taken at the right time (if required), and bedtime routines were followed. Kamila is very responsible, flexible, and will make herself available even at short notice (if she can do it). She is very professional and reliable. I'd be happy to recommend her any time.”
Hello, my name is Joan. I have more than 10 years of experience in early childhood education, teaching children aged 3 to 5.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring topics that people find interesting. Thank you!
Hi! I'm a student at Columbia University with over five years of babysitting experience and currently work as a Senior Counselor at UC Berkeley's Explorer Camp, where I've spent the past two summers working with children ages 5–6. I'm CPR certified, have a reliable car and can provide transportation if needed, and I'm happy to help with housekeeping, meal prep, laundry, and other household tasks. I also grew up with multiple dogs, so I'm very comfortable caring for pets and am happy to help with them too! I'm fluent in English and comfortable speaking Spanish. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable care!
