Find a last-minute babysitter in Oakland, CA

Hi – My name is Sefanit and I’m currently a college student. I am offering child care and household help for families who may need an extra hand. I enjoy spending time with children and have experience helping take care of my younger siblings and nephews. My responsibilities have included playing with them, helping with meals, keeping them engaged with activities, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I enjoy doing activities with kids such as drawing, reading stories, playing games, and spending time outside. I can also help with simple homework, basic cooking, and light household tasks. I can also braid hair and enjoy helping kids feel confident and comfortable. I like creating a calm and positive environment where children can have fun and feel supported.

Hi! I’m Alejandra, born in the US and raised in Mexico. I can speak Spanish and English and have over 10 years of experience taking care of kids in Mexico and in the US. I have experience taking care of kids from 6months to teenagers and I am also a great cook. Looking for occasional or part time jobs.

My name is Jennifer, and I have over three years of experience working with children, including two years as an Au Pair. I’ve cared for kids from 1½ to 10 years old and love supporting their growth through play, crafts, games, and learning activities. I’m CPR trained and infant qualified with 800+ hours of experience. I can help with homework, meal prep, and light housekeeping, and I always aim to create a safe, caring, and fun environment for the children I look after. I'm looking for a full-time, part-time or babysitting job for the full month of January 2026 (area of Oakland and surroundings).

With close to ten years of experience in youth education and childcare, I have worked with children ages three and up across a wide range of settings. My academic background spans psychology and theater arts, including a semester of dedicated research in early childhood developmental psychology. Beyond nannying, my deepest passion is theater — I have performed in dozens of professional stage productions throughout the Bay Area, including children's theater in San Francisco. I bring that creative energy directly to my work with kids: I teach drama and vocal lessons to students ages five and up, and co-founded a drama camp and daycare program in Point Richmond back in 2020. I began nannying at 20 and have genuinely loved every stage of this work. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to assist with basic household tasks, offer pet care (I'm a former dog walker and current cat owner), and provide transportation — I have a valid CA driver's license and my own vehicle. If your child has an interest in performing arts, I'd also love to incorporate some singing or drama games into our time together.

I love kids and have seven nieces and nephews ages 6-17 whom I have been involved in caring for. I’ve babysat for all ages since I was a pre-teen and am currently a high school teacher, in my 8th year.
