Lizambar $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Liz! I’m 22 years old, located in the San Pablo, Ca area. I am a mom of 1 adventurous little girl, currently 2 years old! I have experienced with newborns, toddlers, and other children up to the age of 10. I love taking kids on walks to parks, and the zoo! I have experience with both morning and evening routines, prepping and serving breakfast/snacks, bathing, administrating medicine/vitamins, setting up dinner, winding down, bath time, bedtime, and of course play time! I am more than happy to answer any questions your family might have. I work best with routine and clear instructions, but of course I understand the hectic side of routines with kids :) Id love to chat over the phone or facetime if you’re comfortable.

Yesenia $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Port Costa, CA

Hello! My name is Yesenia. I’m a proud mom of three wonderful children and a dedicated preschool teacher with over 4 years of experience working in an early childhood education setting. I hold 12 units in Child Development and have a genuine passion for nurturing young minds through play, music, and creativity. I love engaging little ones with nursery rhymes (especially songs by Ms. Rachel!), reading picture books, and doing arts and crafts that spark imagination. Being a child at heart helps me connect naturally with kids in a fun, caring, and safe way. I’m currently available on weekends for date nights and would be happy to provide your family with loving and dependable care.

Melissa $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Melissa and I grew up in the Bay Area, I am offering house sitting, dog or cat sitting, or part-time babysitting. I have worked for the City of San Pablo for about 3 years now. My position there is a part-time recreation leader where I facilitated activities for youth in summer camps, school break camps, & field trips! I am quick to learn new things & I love activities outdoors. I am also very good at arts & crafts which helps me build strong relationships with any child that I care for. I own two dogs, one of which has passed away, & I get along really well with animals! I also currently work at a small cafe in San Pablo, CA. I can multitask, clean & run errands as needed. I am open to housesitting, cat/dogsitting, & of course childcare!

Amanda $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amanda, and I currently live in Benicia, California. I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering and will be pursuing my Master's over the next year. In the meantime, I'm looking to nanny and would love to support a great family! I have very flexible hours and am certified in both First Aid and CPR. I have over eight years of experience working with children of all ages and truly love what I do. I have previously worked as an Assistant Daycare Teacher, where I focused on creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while working closely with parents to support each child's individual needs. I have also spent my summers working at a baseball camp for toddlers, so I'm very comfortable keeping kids active, engaged, and entertained. I always aim to make kids feel happy, safe, and and cared for. I'd love the opportunity to help out your family!
