$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Pittsburg, CA

Hi! My name is Jasmine. I am currently pursuing a career in biotechnology and have several years of experience working with children and families. I have experience nannying and babysitting children ranging from 3 months to 8 years old, including caring for two boys under the age of 4 as a summer nanny. I’m happy to provide professional references from both UrbanSitter and Care.com. I genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for the families I work with. Whether it’s helping with playtime, homework, bedtime routines, meal prep, or keeping the house organized, I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each family’s unique needs. In addition to childcare, I also offer pet care. I have two dogs and a cat at home, and I currently foster kittens through a local rescue organization, so I’m very comfortable caring for animals of all ages and temperaments. Fostering has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to stay calm and caring in busy situations. My background in retail management, sales, and merchandising with companies like Banana Republic and Forever 21 has also made me highly organized, responsible, and great at multitasking. Families can count on me for household help, errands, organization, and maintaining a clean and welcoming environment. I would love the opportunity to support your family and become someone you can rely on!

Acacia $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Pittsburg, CA

Hello! My name is Acacia and I’m CPR certified! I’m currently a college student. I’m attending Los Medanos College in the Fall and I’m majoring in Early Childhood Education because I’m pursuing a career in kindergarten teaching. I’m trying to gain experience for my future career as well as save up money for school! I love watching children, they tend to like me a lot due to my bright pink hair (haha) and since I’m younger than most people, I can keep up with the chaotic energy of children! My responsibilities included facilitating age-appropriate activities for children between the ages of 1-10 while maintaining safety, communicating effectively with parents, and providing information on daily activities and addressing any concerns promptly. I also have experience in working with cats, I have 3 cats of my own that I take care of when I’m not in school so I can watch cats. I have experience working with dogs, I have walked around ~7 dogs before all ranging in different sizes!

I’m Kat! I’m 22, studying music at Diablo Valley College. I’ve been working as a paid babysitter for four years (and an unpaid for about sixteen!). Growing up with four siblings (and many more little cousins) means lots of helping out with the little ones, so I have lots of experience! I love working with kids, and have a couple cats at home—so I’m thrilled to help you!

Maria Grace 1 review
$40 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Grace, and I’m a nursing graduate from the Philippines currently working toward getting my nursing license here. Caring for others has always been my passion, which is why I truly enjoy helping families—whether it’s with child care, senior care, pet care, or household support. Child Care: I have experience caring for children from 10 months to 12 years old, including one family with an infant and three older kids. I enjoy engaging children in fun and creative activities that support their development—like reading, drawing, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I can also assist with meal preparation, light cleaning, and maintaining a safe, nurturing environment. ALSO OPEN TO NANNYING FOR SPECIAL EVENTS (corporate meeting, family reunion, weddings, etc.) TO GROUP OF CHILDREN so parents can have a good time stress-free. Senior & Geriatric Care: I have hands-on experience providing care for elderly clients, including those with limited mobility and chronic health conditions. My background includes assisting with daily living activities such as bathing, feeding, dressing, and medication reminders. I also offer companionship, emotional support, and light housekeeping. My goal is always to help seniors maintain their comfort, dignity, and independence as much as possible. Pet Care: I’ve cared for several pets, including three dogs, a cat, and even farm animals while assisting a paralyzed adult. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and giving basic care for both small and large animals. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and keeping them happy and active. Household Services: I can help with cleaning, cooking, errands, laundry, and organizing. If needed, I can also bring my own cleaning supplies. I take pride in keeping a home clean, comfortable, and welcoming for everyone in it. Caring for people—young or old, human or furry—has always come naturally to me. I approach every role with patience, compassion, and genuine care.

“I highly recommend Maria Grace as a babysitter. She took care of my daughter for one year, and during that time she proved to be very reliable, patient, and caring. Maria Grace always made sure that my daughter was safe, comfortable, and well looked after. She was attentive to my child’s needs and created a positive and nurturing environment. As a parent, it gave me great peace of mind knowing that my daughter was in good hands. Maria Grace is trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely kind with children. I am very grateful for the care she provided to my daughter, and I confidently recommend her to any family looking for a dependable babysitter.”
