Booked by 1 family in Livermore, CA

Hello! My name is Olivia. I am 26 years old. I have 10 years experience with babysitting and nannying (the video on my profile is a few years old) for newborn babies-10 years old. Your child will be in a supervised, safe, and stable environment. I am responsible and reliable. I believe I could be a great fit for you, your children and your family. I am currently employed full time at a printing company in San Ramon but I would love to work as a full time nanny again. I am very flexible with my schedule, I can work more than 8hrs a day and sometimes on weekend too.

Whitney $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, patient, dependable, and responsible caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping children and families. I’m attentive to each child’s individual needs and believe in creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I have experience caring for children including babysitting, caregiving and as a pediatric nurse in the school and home setting. As a babysitter and caregiver, I understand the importance of keeping children engaged, safe, and on a consistent routine. I’m comfortable helping with meals, snacks, playtime, activities, homework, bedtime routines, transportation, and keeping children’s spaces tidy. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks related to the children. My personality is warm, patient, calm, and easygoing. I’m reliable and take my responsibilities seriously, while also making sure children have fun and feel cared for. I’m someone families can feel comfortable trusting in their home and with their children. I would love the opportunity to support a family and become someone they can depend on.

Bo $40 per hour for 1 child

I am a highly experienced caregiver and educator offering a premium, enrichment-focused childcare experience. With a doctorate in music and over 20 years of service as a youth teacher in my church community, I bring a unique blend of academic depth, creativity, and nurturing care to each family I work with. As a mother of two (ages 11 and 16), I understand firsthand the importance of consistency, structure, and emotional attunement. I create an environment where children are not only well cared for, but also intellectually and creatively engaged through music, guided learning, and thoughtful interaction. My weekday afternoons are dedicated to my work as a piano instructor and to caring for my own children; I am now intentionally seeking to support younger families during morning/early afternoon hours, where I can offer high-quality care. I approach every child with the same level of love, attentiveness, and responsibility that I give my own, and I value building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents.

Elysia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Elysia, and I am currently a senior at UCLA. I have a passion for working with children and serving our youth in any way I can. Kids truly bring so much joy to life, and I love connecting with them while supporting their growth, confidence, and creativity. I hope to not only be a caregiver, but also a positive mentor and role model for the children I work with. I have hands on experience working at the Boys & Girls Club, where I formulated weekly lesson plans that encouraged student participation through interactive activities and creative projects. I focused fun and engaging learning experiences while fostering an environment where children felt safe to express themselves and develop critical thinking skills. Creating a supportive and welcoming space was always my top priority. Through this role, I demonstrated strong leadership and mentorship by guiding students in personal growth, helping them set attainable goals, and motivating them through positive reinforcement and recognition of their accomplishments. This approach helped increase their self confidence and enthusiasm toward both academics and daily life. I also implemented structured daily routines to provide consistency, while maintaining a warm, caring, and positive attitude when working with both individuals and groups of children. Overall, I strive to ensure a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and inspired to be their best selves. I truly love working with kids and feel grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in their lives.
