Hi! My name is Teresa. I'm looking to take on sitter jobs this summer. I can help with: • Child care • Pet care • Household help Ages: I'm happy to babysit children ages 4 through the teen years. I also have my own car and can help with school pick-ups, drop-offs, sports practices, tutoring, errands, or other activities if needed. Grace Period: I understand that delays happen. If you arrive later than the agreed-upon time, I'll round your return time down to the previous half hour. For example, if we agree on 6:30 PM and you arrive at 6:59 PM, I'll still only charge through 6:30 PM, giving you up to a 29-minute grace period for traffic or other unexpected delays. I'm happy to work with families nearby. Feel free to message me with any questions or if you'd like to see if we'd be a good fit!
Hi – My name is Sefanit and I’m currently a college student. I am offering child care and household help for families who may need an extra hand. I enjoy spending time with children and have experience helping take care of my younger siblings and nephews. My responsibilities have included playing with them, helping with meals, keeping them engaged with activities, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I enjoy doing activities with kids such as drawing, reading stories, playing games, and spending time outside. I can also help with simple homework, basic cooking, and light household tasks. I can also braid hair and enjoy helping kids feel confident and comfortable. I like creating a calm and positive environment where children can have fun and feel supported.
Hi! I’m Alejandra, born in the US and raised in Mexico. I can speak Spanish and English and have over 10 years of experience taking care of kids in Mexico and in the US. I have experience taking care of kids from 6months to teenagers and I am also a great cook. Looking for occasional or part time jobs.
My name is Jennifer, and I have over three years of experience working with children, including two years as an Au Pair. I’ve cared for kids from 1½ to 10 years old and love supporting their growth through play, crafts, games, and learning activities. I’m CPR trained and infant qualified with 800+ hours of experience. I can help with homework, meal prep, and light housekeeping, and I always aim to create a safe, caring, and fun environment for the children I look after. I'm looking for a full-time, part-time or babysitting job for the full month of January 2026 (area of Oakland and surroundings).

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
