Sharon $26 per hour for 1 child

With close to ten years of experience in youth education and childcare, I have worked with children ages three and up across a wide range of settings. My academic background spans psychology and theater arts, including a semester of dedicated research in early childhood developmental psychology. Beyond nannying, my deepest passion is theater — I have performed in dozens of professional stage productions throughout the Bay Area, including children's theater in San Francisco. I bring that creative energy directly to my work with kids: I teach drama and vocal lessons to students ages five and up, and co-founded a drama camp and daycare program in Point Richmond back in 2020. I began nannying at 20 and have genuinely loved every stage of this work. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to assist with basic household tasks, offer pet care (I'm a former dog walker and current cat owner), and provide transportation — I have a valid CA driver's license and my own vehicle. If your child has an interest in performing arts, I'd also love to incorporate some singing or drama games into our time together.

Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and energetic caregiver who genuinely loves working with kids. I have experience with children of all ages and personalities, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and included. I currently work at an after-school program, which has helped me build strong skills in staying organized, keeping kids engaged, and handling different situations calmly. I also volunteer on some Sundays at a children’s ministry at church, where I usually work with toddlers—so I’m very comfortable with younger kids as well! In my free time, I enjoy staying active and being outdoors, and I like bringing that same fun, positive energy when I’m with kids—whether that’s playing games, helping with homework, or just keeping them entertained and happy. I’m reliable, easygoing, and someone parents can trust to take great care of their kids while making sure they have a good time too!

Hello, My name is Ken, and I’m a reliable, caring, and experienced babysitter with a strong sense of responsibility. I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids, and I truly enjoy helping them learn, play, and grow in a safe and supportive environment. I always come prepared with age-appropriate activities to keep children engaged and happy. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing snacks, reading stories, or supervising outdoor play, I take my role seriously and treat each child with patience and kindness. Families appreciate my punctuality, clear communication, and calm approach, even when things get a little chaotic. I understand the trust parents place in a babysitter, and I work hard to earn and keep that trust every time. I'm available for part-time, occasional, or evening babysitting .

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kinga for the past three years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly responsible, kind, and truly understands how to care for and manage children in a thoughtful, structured way. She communicates clearly and speaks perfect English, which has been especially helpful for both day-to-day coordination and supporting my children’s learning. She’s also been a huge asset academically—able to assist with tutoring and reinforce good study habits. What really sets her apart is her ability to balance warmth with structure. She knows how to set appropriate boundaries while still creating a positive, supportive environment where kids feel safe and cared for. She’s reliable, drives, and is always punctual and professional. Any family would be lucky to have her.”
