"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Brooke $26 per hour for 1 child
I’m a reliable, warm and attentive 30-year-old based in the Berkeley area, currently transitioning from a career in communications into publishing and bookselling. While I get settled in the East Bay, I’m returning to nannying and babysitting, something I’ve loved and returned to throughout my life. I’ve been caring for children since my teenage years, with consistent experience babysitting and nannying over time. I’m most experienced with children ages 4–12, and I also have some hands-on experience with infants and toddlers. I love being part of a child’s day in a way that feels both fun and supportive, whether that’s imaginative play, helping with homework or creating a calm, engaging environment. I’m naturally organized, communicative and emotionally attuned. I pay close attention to what children need, physically and emotionally, and I do my best to create a space where they feel comfortable, understood and encouraged to be themselves. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as dependable, warm and easy to communicate with. I take pride in being someone parents can trust and someone kids feel at ease around. Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help keep things running smoothly at home! This can include light tidying, organizing, meal prep , etc.
Leslie $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Leslie, and I have a strong passion for childcare and child development. I have experience working with children of all ages, including children who are neurodivergent. I strive to create a supportive, patient, and engaging environment tailored to each child's needs. Whether it's helping with schoolwork, planning creative activities, or providing a calm and structured routine, I'm here to support your family. I am happy to assist with light housekeeping or meal prep. I'm committed to providing compassionate and reliable care! Some background about me: I am a recent UC Berkeley grad and am currently taking some courses before applying to medical school where I will aim to become a pediatrician. Some of my hobbies include baking and reading. I am also fluent in Spanish and can aid the child into learning a new language if that is something they are interested in! I am currently available for occasional babysitting after late afternoons and weekends as well. Don't hesitate to reach out and we can see if your kiddo and I are a good fit!!
