Rosemary $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Rose. I’m a trusted caregiver with a lifelong passion for supporting families. Over the past several years, I’ve provided care for children of all ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids (yes, even twins!). I also have deep experience supporting children with special needs from assisting my daughter-in-law with her childcare facility and supporting a family with 2 neurodivergent children. Beyond that, I’ve spent many years caring for the children of family and friends, so nurturing and supporting little ones has always been a natural part of my life. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities, helping with homework, and ensuring they feel safe, supported, and cared for. Recently, I spent the past three years as the primary caregiver for my mother, which deepened my experience and compassion for senior care. I understand the importance of patience, dignity, and dependable support. I’m happy to assist with meal preparation, companionship, and day-to-day tasks. In addition to caregiving, I also offer household support, including doing laundry, light and deep cleaning, and running errands to help out. I’m known by family and friends as the one they call when they need help achieving a clean and organized space. I truly enjoy creating clean, tidy, and functional spaces. This stems from a childhood of supporting my father's janitorial service and owning my own home staging business. Looking forward to supporting you and your loved ones!

Eythana 3 reviews
$28 per hour for 1 child

I managed a childcare department at the YMCA in Redding, CA for 2 years and have worked in childcare and nannying for 8 years, half of that being in the Bay Area. I've worked with all ages from newborn up to teenagers, with an large cluster of those being around ages 4-10. Every age comes with its own delights, challenges, and needs, and I enjoy learning the particularities of what will work for each family and child. I love being active and incorporate movement into my care as much as I can, whether that's playing soccer in the yard, turning on music for a dance party, or going for walks or bike rides. Creative projects are also a big part of my life, and I often bring in crafts and hands-on activities. Drawing a favorite object, making a mosaic out of stones at the park, bringing my latest knitting project as a little show and tell -- there are so many ways to engage creatively! My goal is to make sure every child is safe, happy, and feels engaged with. I grew up in a large, formerly Amish family and have been around and watching kids my whole life. I’m a recent political economy graduate from UC Berkeley, currently doing oral history and linguistic work when I'm not caring for children.

“Eythana is an absolutely fantastic babysitter - extremely experienced and knowledgeable about children, completely reliable, totally professional, and just all-around fantastic. She cared for my son before school on a regular basis when he was in his last year of preschool and in kindergarten (he’s now 8 and in third grade), and she still our favorite sitter and my first call/text when something comes up I need someone to care for my son! My son has a great time with her every time she sits for us, and I know he’s in great hands and doing engaging activities and off screens. I highly, highly recommend her to any family looking for a trusted and experienced sitter who’s absolutely great with kids.”

Katharine Marie $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a recent UC Berkeley graduate, 22 years old, with a B.A. in English Literature, and I still live in Berkeley. I’ve grown up in a care-oriented, family-centered household with three younger brothers, and helping to raise them has been a central part of my life. From feeding, dressing, and managing bedtime routines to helping with homework and keeping them entertained, I’ve learned firsthand how to balance responsibility, patience, and fun. That lifelong experience, combined with babysitting for other families, has given me a strong foundation in childcare and a deep appreciation for creating nurturing, safe, and engaging environments for children of all ages. I love being active and outdoors, so I enjoy hiking, running, and exploring new spaces with kids, as well as quiet time reading or telling stories to spark creativity and imagination. Growing up in a busy, caring household has taught me empathy, adaptability, and problem-solving. These are skills that I bring to every family or parent that I work with. I’m comfortable helping with light household tasks, meal prep, homework, and daily routines while keeping children happy, safe, and stimulated. I’m happy to babysit anywhere in the Bay Area and am excited to bring my experience, energy, and love of caregiving to new families. I take pride in building trust with both parents and children and creating a positive, supportive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel cared for.
