Emma $25 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience working with children through my summers as a nanny, where I handled daily routines, prepared meals, coordinated extracurricular activities, managed household tasks, and ensured a safe, engaging environment. I’ve also worked with seniors in an assisted living setting, where I greeted residents and families, supported caregivers, completed medical charting, helped serve meals, trained new staff, and stayed on call to address needs as they arose. These roles taught me empathy, patience, and how to respond calmly and efficiently in sensitive situations. In addition to childcare and senior support, I’m comfortable assisting with household responsibilities—organizing, scheduling, tidying, running errands, coordinating appointments, and managing day-to-day tasks. I’ve also had roles involving pets, including walking dogs and incorporating them into daily routines while nannying. My strengths include strong communication skills, dependable time management, adaptability, and a genuine commitment to helping others. I’m detail-oriented, organized, and able to learn new systems or routines quickly. Above all, I am caring, trustworthy, and dedicated to creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment for individuals and families!

Payton $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Payton and I'm currently working as an engineer full-time. I am looking to make some extra cash on the side and enjoy spending time with kids (and animals). I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old and worked full-time as a nanny for two summers for two awesome girls (4&6). I have also worked/volunteered as a soccer coach, in-school translator, and tutor. I can cook, help around the house and run errands where needed. I currently have cats and have previously had a dog and am more than happy to help with any animals.

Hi - my name is Keith and I'm currently a preschool teacher. I have 11 years experience working with 2 - 5-year-old children. I believe every child is capable of learning and growing in a supportive environment. I also have an educational background in English and creative writing. I'm a published author. Along with babysitting, I can also cook, tutor English writing / reading, and do household errands if needed. I'm allergic to cats but I'm happy to work with families with dogs.

Irina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Irina, I’m an aupair from Argentina but i’ve been living here for a little over a year now🥰 I’ve been working with kids since 2021. I started with my two cousins that were 6 and 3 y/o at that time; then a 3 month old baby until 18 months, and her cousin since she was 4months until 8 months. After that I arrived to Oakland and I’m currently working with two girls! They were 2 years old and 4 months old when i arrived, now they’re 3 y/o and 2 years old 🫶🏻 I feel comfortable with infants and kids, i like to play with them and teach them stuff and also dance and sing! I never did pet care but i have had dogs all my life and i love them, my host family here also have a dog and i usually go for walks with him ❤️
