Find a wedding babysitter in Alameda, CA

Hi there! I currently run my own PR and Marketing operation from home. My schedule is flexible and I'm looking for some side work. I spent over 10 years teaching developmental gymnastics for children between 4 months-12 years old. I also led camps for elementary age children and teenagers. I've coached cheerleading and dance and I used to babysit a lot of my students while living in Southern California. I'm all about learning and having fun. Engaging with your child is important to me and it's all I've ever known. My mom is a pre-k teacher and my brother is a junior high teacher. So, it runs in our blood. = ) My background with children extends overseas where I've volunteered in orphanages in South Africa, Peru and Mexico. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello families! I’m Maria Paula (or Mapy for short), a warm, responsible, and creative caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with kids of all ages—from infants to elementary schoolers. I’m 34 and recently returned to the Bay Area after completing my Master’s in Urban Studies in Europe. While I explore full-time opportunities in my field, I’d love to help local families with part-time or occasional babysitting. My childcare journey started in Colombia, then brought me to the U.S. as an au pair for two years in California. Since then, I’ve spent over a decade caring for little ones, with a special focus on infants, toddlers, and early graders. Whether it’s outdoor adventures (parks, hikes, museums), crafting sessions, or cozy storytimes, I love blending fun with learning. Bonus: I’m a pro at handling multiples and thrive on keeping kids engaged! When I’m not babysitting, you’ll find me reading, experimenting with new recipes, or exploring Bay Area trails—usually with a coffee in hand. I am also an animal lover!

I’m a credentialed middle school science teacher taking a year off in San Francisco with 4+ years of classroom experience. I’m calm, reliable, and enjoy creating a safe, engaging environment for kids of all ages. I’ve also spent a lot of time caring for my young nephews and supporting family members through end-of-life care, which has deepened my patience and attentiveness. I am a safe driver and am happy to help with school pickup, homework, and at home or outdoor activities.

Hello! My name is Erica 👋 I provide reliable in home childcare with the experience and skill of a preschool teacher. My childcare philosophy centers around patience, relationship, and silliness. While caring for children, I am constantly singing, dancing, and finding ways to make a mundane task fun. I view challenging behavior as an opportunity to teach emotional regulation and communication. I believe it's our job to teach children boundaries, so I lead with a firm but kind approach, always shame-free. I enjoy engaging children in intentional activities that work to improve developmental skills. My goal is to get the kids I care for out and about at least once a day, so walks and driving to fun activities (I have a car and am happy to use it!) are a must. I love finding out about the local parks, libraries, rec centers, museums, and music and art classes! Early childhood education is my passion and career focus. I’m currently in school at SFSU, finishing my bachelor's degree and teaching credential.
