Hi there, Nice to meet you! I'm Omy, I bring over 5 years of experience, and I'd love to help you with the most precious thing of your life, your children! I'm from Spain, raised in a beautiful archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean known as the Canary Islands. I love to speak to kids in Spanish so they can learn from my culture too! I strongly believe that having a caregiver from a different culture really exposes and expands your child's mind. Only accepting payments via cash. Please, do not hesitate to contact me to discuss more details. Looking forward to hearing from you!
“We feel so lucky to have had Omy as our nanny! We’re sad our schedules don’t align any more, but we’re happy to recommend Omy to the next lucky family to work with her! Omy was dependable, responsible, and always there when we needed her. She was able to really connect with the kids, she really got them. A few more things: - Omy is also a great and safe driver and has her own car - Omy has excellent bilingual communication skills (English and Spanish) - Omy is healthy and energetic and fantastic about encouraging healthy habits - Omy’s very organized and on top of things like schedules, lunches, etc. Maybe last thing to add is that there were a few times where due to unforeseen circumstances we needed extra unexpected help and Omy went above and beyond to adjust her schedule to help us out. This was far beyond what we’d normally expect and showed Omy really cared about the kids and helping us out. I highly recommend Omy! She’s wonderful and was great to work with!”
Hi, my name is Raine! I’m 22 years old. I am currently enrolled in college (online) and will be transferring to UC Davis this fall. I love to babysit in my free time. I am studying to be a school psychologist and have a very strong passion for working with kids. I’d say I’m very experienced as I’ve had the chance to grow up learning and gaining experience in a classroom alongside my sister who has been a special education teacher for 15+ years. Also, since I was around 14 I’ve been known as the “babysitter” in my family. I’ve been watching my niece and nephew since they were newborns. Since then I’ve started babysitting independently for a few families I’ve met through my job. I also ran a “daycare” center at my job for over a year. I was in charge of children aged 2-13 for a few hours every Friday night. I am CPR certified as well. & I am also highly experienced in pet sitting and house sitting! I can assure you that your kids & or pets will be in great hands!
Hello there! I’m Yelyzaveta, you also can call me Ellie — a trustworthy, experienced caregiver who’s loved working with children since I was 11. My childcare experience began with my nephew (diapers, doctor visits, feeding, baths, bedtime, homework help) and continued after I moved to the U.S. in 2022, when I lived with a family and cared for their 1-year-old and 3-year-old for over a year. My duties included meal preparation , daycare drop-offs and pickups , bathing, educational play, storytime, museum outings, and building routines that made the day calm and fun. I still help their family occasionally. I’m patient and attentive — when a child is upset I give them space, check they feel safe, and help them name and work through their feelings. I bring creativity to play (arts & crafts, building, interactive games), read aloud with enthusiasm, and support early learning and motor skills. I’m also comfortable with light household tasks while children nap, and happy to help with cooking and homework support. Outside of childcare, I work as a café lead. I hold a degree in Food Technology and plan to study something different in college. I speak English, Ukrainian, and Russian. People describe me as organized, responsible, and caring. I’m always more than happy to have a chat or a quick call with potential families so we can discuss details and make sure you feel comfortable before we begin. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and create a safe, fun, and caring environment for your children!
Hi👋🏾. My name is Esther. I’m originally from Kenya and I live in Berkeley,CA and was at Grad school at UC Berkeley. Majority of my sitting experience has been with close friends and family members. I’ve also previously worked at a kid’s summer camp for 6 years. In my spare time I like to read, bake and hike.
Hi there! My name is Zama and I am a nanny, who is dependable and experienced childcare professional with over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, school age children, and teenagers. While earning my Business degree at City College of San Francisco. I worked closely with families, helping not only with childcare but also with keeping busy households running smoothly. From preparing meals, grocery shopping, running errands, to driving children to school and activities, planning schedules and helping with homework, I became someone families could rely on. I would describe myself as patient, flexible, resourceful and calm under pressure. Every child is different, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personalities while supporting their growth and independence. My goal is simple: to be someone parents can trust and someone their kids feel happy, safe and excited to spend time with.
