I am a caring, responsible, and reliable caregiver with experience working with infants and toddlers. I truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel loved, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I have experience with daily childcare routines, including feeding, diaper changes, meal preparation, nap schedules, playtime, and age-appropriate developmental activities. I love planning fun and educational activities such as reading, arts and crafts, sensory play, music, outdoor adventures, and creative games that encourage learning through play. Families describe me as patient, attentive, trustworthy, organized, and proactive. I believe open communication is essential, and I always strive to support each family's routines, values, and parenting style. My most recent position was caring for a baby for over a year, from 9 months old to 21 months old. I have also cared for newborns, 3-month-old infants, and 1-year-olds, which has given me a strong understanding of the different stages of infant development and the unique needs of each age. In addition, I have experience caring for children ages 4, 7, and 9, as well as managing the needs of multiple children at once. I look forward to meeting your family!

“Jani has a warm, grounded energy, and she was incredible with our 8-month-old! She’s super experienced with infants: she jumped right in, naps and bottles went smoothly, and she was a great communicator. She was happy to adapt to our routine. We will definitely book her again!”

Hi, my name is Valentina and I'm offering child care. I love taking care, playing, teaching and spending time with infants and toddlers. I have a certification in early childhood education and I worked in a school where I did didactic and meaningfu activities for them to develop their motor, cognitive, sensory and communicative skills through play such as painting, singing, dancing, reading and imagining stories, tasting and feeling different textures.

“Super professional and responsive. Was flexible at the last minute and clearly had the kids engaged and having fun (without a screen 😁). 2 boys aged 6 and 8 gave rave reviews. ”

Hello, I'm Mallu! I have +9 years of childcare experience, having cared for kids aged 2 months to 14 years. My expertise covers childcare, household management, and pet care. Over the past years, I've worked as a full-time caregiver for several families in the Bay area. Additionally, I've provided babysitting services to many families with children of different ages. During my educational journey, I also took child development classes, which added an extra layer of understanding to my practical experience. I'm genuinely enthusiastic about helping children grow, achieve milestones, and develop important skills. Whether it's organizing outdoor activities or engaging in indoor play, I take joy in providing engaging experiences for children of all ages. Beyond childcare, I like cooking, staying active through exercise, and immersing myself in good reads. If you're seeking an extra hand to make things easier, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thank you for considering me. Mallu

Hi! My name is Natalie and am 25 years old. I'm an experienced babysitter with 10+ years of experience who has a passion for child care with a goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. I received my bachelor's of science in nursing this past May at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland and am currently finding occasional babysitting jobs as I study for my state board exam. I wanted to go into nursing because I have always enjoyed helping people. I have always enjoyed working with children, which is why I chose pediatric nursing and why I have always gravitated to childcare jobs. My mom and grandmother owned a daycare for 13 years of my life and I was a big help, so I have experience taking care of newborns all the way to teenagers. I have volunteered during the summer at many camps as a youth counselor. During the pandemic I worked through zoom to provide one on one care with children that needed homework assistance or just virtual playtime. I have worked as an after school instructor at my local elementary school, where I am currently working. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and sport practices, crafts, bedtime routines, and tutoring. I can also clean, tidy up the house and run errands if needed. My main goal is to always make sure children are having fun in an educational way and providing a safe environment for them. I am a big fan of arts and crafts so I always carry crafts around me in case a fun little activity can be done. I also love pets and take care of them as well! I have had many hamsters, cats, dogs, chinchillas, etc...so I am fine with giving them my extra care. I am also bilingual and speak English and Spanish fluently, and wouldn’t mind giving a little Spanish lesson every now and then. I like to her walk my dogs, do puzzles, and watch movies in my spare time. I am fully vaccinated and CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you! 😊
