Hello! My name is Abby, I’m 19 and looking to start babysitting kiddos! I’ve been working with kids for about 3 1/2 years now. I’ve worked at 2 different daycares, 1 of them being for infants- 2 year olds, and my most recent, which was 4 and 5 year olds. My main focus is on what YOUR needs are. I am able to do light housekeeping, take the kiddos out on adventures, and meals! Please consider me in your hiring process!

Hi parents! I’m a caring and dependable babysitter with 4 years experience supporting children of all ages, and I truly love what I do. Families know me as warm, patient, and attentive I’m the kind of sitter who makes kids feel safe, happy, and engaged through play, learning, and gentle structure. Whether it’s helping with homework, keeping routines on track, or simply sharing fun activities, I bring kindness, energy, and reliability to every job. My goal is always to give parents peace of mind while treating their little ones with the same care I’d want for my own family.

Hi! I’m Kareena, a sophomore student at UC Berkeley studying biology and public health. Previously, I worked as a Kumon instructor for children ages 3-18. I speak English, Spanish, Hindi, and Telugu. I can assist with cooking, meal prep, laundry, housekeeping, errands, swim supervision, language learning, and remote learning. I am CPR certified and have an active EMT license. I’d love to ensure your kids become the best version of themselves they can be!

Kareena spent the day with my 4 year old who LOVED her and is already begging for her to come back!
