Salika $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Salika B, and I’m a responsible, compassionate, and energetic babysitter with over two years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages—from infants to pre-teens. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and take pride in creating a safe, supportive, and joyful environment where they feel loved, respected, and encouraged to be themselves.

I’m also comfortable helping with homework, preparing healthy snacks or meals, and maintaining routines like bedtime and screen time in a calm and positive way. What sets me apart is my patient and caring nature, my reliability, and my genuine passion for helping children grow with confidence and curiosity. I understand the importance of trust and open communication with parents, and I’m always happy to work together to ensure your child’s unique needs are met.

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.”
