Find a last-minute babysitter in Newark, CA

My name is Fatima. I am currently a graduate student studying chiropractic. I have several years of childcare experience, including caring for my younger brother, who is now 8 years old. I have been responsible for his care since infancy, which has helped me develop strong skills in supervision, patience, and creating a safe, supportive environment. I also have experience working with children as a youth climbing instructor for several years during my undergraduate studies. This role strengthened my ability to communicate effectively, ensure safety, and engage children in a positive and encouraging way. I am detail-oriented and take pride in maintaining a clean and organized home. In addition, I have experience working in a kitchen, which has strengthened my ability to prepare meals, stay organized, and manage multiple tasks efficiently.

Warm, playful, and dependable caregiver with 18+ years of experience caring for children of all ages, including infants. After recently working on a developmental milestone project, I felt called back to what I truly love most — helping children grow, learn, feel deeply cared for, and making everyday life feel lighter and more supported for parents too. I love bringing warmth, laughter, creativity, music, outdoor adventures, and calm positive energy into a home. I’m naturally very hands-on and happy to help wherever needed — whether that’s nurturing little ones through developmental milestones, engaging in playful learning, preparing simple healthy meals, tidying up child-related spaces, helping with routines, or creating a smoother flow for the whole family. Families often describe me as loving, reliable, helpful, positive and fun with their children. I am CPR/AED/First Aid certified, have my own reliable car, and speak English, Spanish, and French (plus some Portuguese and Hindi). Currently looking for one more kind, respectful, communicative part-time family who values warmth, teamwork, and thoughtful childcare. P.S: While I was advised to charge $50hr. I am ok with negotiating lower for the right family who really needs it

Hi! I’m Katy. I work full-time in HR and Operations during the week, so I’m mainly available for occasional evening and weekend babysitting. I graduated from UC Davis with bachelor’s degrees in Political Science and English and have been babysitting on weekends for over 10 years. During that time, I’ve had the opportunity to care for children of different ages. I also grew up with two younger siblings and worked in an after-school program at the Boys & Girls Club of the Peninsula, where I gained even more experience creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. I’ve always enjoyed being around children and getting to know their different personalities. I believe every child is different, so I try to get to know who they are and meet them where they’re at. Whether that means playing games, reading stories, doing crafts, or helping them get ready for bed, my goal is to help them feel safe, heard, comfortable, and have a good time while you’re away. I’d describe myself as patient, reliable, and easygoing. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your kids, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I also like keeping parents updated while they’re out so they can enjoy their time knowing their kids are safe and doing well. If you’re looking for a dependable sitter for a date night, weekend plans, or just an occasional event, I’d be happy to help! I look forward to meeting you and your family.

Hi, I’m Tuce — a caregiver based in the Bay Area. I’m a Turkish immigrant building my career in healthcare, and caregiving is the direction I’m intentionally moving toward. I completed my CNA clinical training at Sunnyvale Post Acute and have since been working with home care agencies in the Bay Area. I’m also starting Home Health Aide training in October — so this work is something I’m committed to long-term, not just picking up on the side. I grew up in a culture where caring for children and elderly family members is something families do themselves. That’s shaped how I show up: calm, attentive, and genuinely comfortable with the rhythms of a home. Spending time with children is something I genuinely enjoy — not just a responsibility I take on. I like to play, I follow the child’s lead, and I find real pleasure in those small moments that make a kid light up. At the same time, I take safety seriously and keep a close eye on what’s happening around us. That combination — staying engaged and staying aware — is something I’m naturally comfortable with. I have CPR and First Aid training. I’m bilingual in English and Turkish. I’m reliable, I communicate openly with parents, and I’ll leave your home the way I found it. Available for one-time bookings, date nights, and weekend coverage. Happy to chat before you book — references available on request.
