Booked by 1 family in Albany, CA

Hi my name is Dessie. I have experience with babysitting children and dogs. I have past experience with childcare and also currently babysit from time to time. I used to work as a childcare facilitator, where I would do arts and crafts, learning activities, prepared snacks and schedule downtime for the littles. I currently babysit when time allows it and love to do art projects and fun creative sensory games with pantry foods. I also encourage to meet before babysitting to ensure it is a good fit. My experience with dogs has been in a span of several years whether is walking, dog sitting, or just taking care of my own. I have a dog of my own that is very sweet and gentle. In the past I would dog sit for a lot of friends and would also do dog walking for strangers (through dog-walking app) from time to time. I have always loved dogs and have been volunteering at shelters here are there. Outside of childcare and dog care. I work an administrative job for an environmental sustainable company. I often spend my down time rock climbing, running and organizing/ cleaning spaces. I thrive in an environment where I can organize and clean. Often if I am babysitting or dog sitting I will clean the home as much as I can when asked to. If that’s not something you’d like I will respect your space and home but will definitely clean after your pup or child. I know it’s tough finding someone to trust to be in your home and take care of your loved ones so I also encourage that having a nanny cam or pet cam to check in is a good way to have a piece of mind and am always open to any suggestions or constructive criticisms. If you have any questions please reach out. Thank you!

“I cannot recommend Dessrie highly enough when it comes to caring for dogs. She is not only patient, attentive, and deeply responsible, but she also has a natural connection with animals that puts both pets and their owners at ease. What stands out most about Dessrie is the level of trust you can place in her. She is dependable, communicative, and treats every dog as if they were her own. Whether it’s ensuring their safety, giving them the right amount of exercise, or providing plenty of love and attention, she goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and truly great with dogs, Dessrie is the person you can count on without hesitation”

Hi families! My name is Laura, and I’m a warm, reliable, and experienced nanny currently completing my degree in special education. I‘m looking for a new full time position starting November! I’ve worked with children of all ages—from 3 months to 14 years—through my years as a full-time nanny, babysitter (since age 16!), and camp counselor. I also have extensive experience supporting children with a wide range of special needs, and I love integrating what I’m learning in my teaching degree into the way I care for and engage with kids. Whether it’s bedtime stories, arts and crafts, outdoor play, tutoring, or helping with routines and transitions, I bring energy, empathy, and structure to every family I work with. I’d love to support your family, whether you need a dependable date-night sitter or more regular help. I’m happy to provide references and look forward to connecting!

Booked by 6 families in Albany, CA

Hi! I’m Valentina 😊 I’m originally from Colombia 🇨🇴 and currently live in San Francisco. I speak Spanish and English, and I really enjoy working with children and getting to know their little personalities. I’m also a Marketing graduate from Colombia, and I’d be happy to share my language and culture with your family if you’re interested. I’d love to teach Spanish through everyday conversations, songs, books, or little things from Colombian culture in a fun and natural way. 👶 My childcare experience Right now, I work full-time taking care of a 11-month-old baby during the day, so I’m very comfortable with the everyday routine that comes with caring for a baby. I help with things like: • Bottles and meals • Diaper changes and getting dressed • Naps and bedtime routines • Tummy time and age-appropriate play • Reading, singing, and keeping the baby engaged • Going for walks and getting out of the house • Following the parents’ routine and instructions • Making sure the baby is always safe and comfortable Before my current job, I cared for a 2-year-old boy, and I’ve also babysat children of different ages. I also regularly babysit, including two sisters who are 3 and 5 years old. I’ve learned that every child is different. Some want to play nonstop, some need a little more patience when they’re tired, and sometimes the best part of babysitting is simply getting down on the floor and playing with them. I really enjoy that part of the job. ❤️ 🧸 What I enjoy doing with kids ⚽️ I don’t like babysitting to feel like I’m just “watching” a child. I like being involved with them and making the time together fun. Depending on their age and what they enjoy, I like doing things such as: • Arts and crafts 🎨 • Reading books 📚 • Drawing and coloring • Music and dancing 🎶 • Imaginative play • Going to the park or taking walks • Age-appropriate games • Helping with meals and snacks • Creating a calm routine before nap or bedtime I’m also happy to follow whatever routine parents already have at home. I know how important consistency is, especially for babies and toddlers. ❤️ A little more about me • CPR Certified ❤️‍🩹 • Fully vaccinated 💉 • Non-smoker 🚭 • Pet-friendly 🐾 • Spanish & English speaker 🇨🇴🇺🇸 • Marketing graduate 🎓 • Experienced with babies & toddlers 👶

My name is Teresa but you can call me Tete. I am 30 years old and I was born in Mexico. I am offering child care, animal care and household services. When I was fourteen years old I entered an orphanage as a volunteer for children between zero and twelve years old. In the years I was not a volunteer, I babysit for a neighbor and worked at children's fairs. For the past 5 years I’ve been working with kids on the autism spectrum. From that experience I realized the great influence that we can be for children. We have the opportunity to teach them to be better human beings and at the same time we can learn from them despite their young age. Also animals are a big part of my life I have a lot of pets back in Mexico and I earned experience taking care of them. I drive since I was 17 years old and I have more than 5 years driving here in the United States.
