Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and patient caregiver who enjoys spending time with children and helping families feel supported. I have experience caring for kids of different ages and I always focus on creating a safe, fun, and positive environment. I’m reliable, organized, and comfortable helping with routines, meals, playtime, bedtime, and light household tasks. I’m also flexible with occasional babysitting and part-time care, and I always try to make children feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
“Jhenifer was great with our little girls. They absolutely loved her. She watched them for a full night after a long day and helped with dinner and bed time.”
Hi, I'm Kimberly! I offer child care, pet care, and senior care. I'm in a transitional career stage, love kids, and have a background art/design and food. Caring for your kids is a great way to combine these things while I figure out what's next. Happy to engage in activities, go to the park, read, draw, stay off screens if preferred, make healthy snacks/meals, adhere to your routines and boundaries, and be a trustworthy (and hopefully fun) buddy. Most of my recent experience with kids is more casual: hanging out with friends' kids. I have a fair amount of distant babysitting experience from years ago! Happy to offer referrals. I'm gluten-free but can cook anything, and know my way around dietary restrictions.
I am a full-time personal chef working with several families in Oakland looking for additional work. One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to share the joy of cooking and food with my clients' children & I often babysit for families I cook for too. I also have experience teaching gardening and cooking to students K-12.
“Cassandra was amazing. My 4 year old adored her and didn’t want her to leave. Absolutely having her watch my kiddo again. Highly recommend!”
Hi! I have a lot of babysitting experience, paid and unpaid, from babysitting younger siblings and cousins to neighbors and family friends. I used to tutor kids at the Mathnasium and can defintely help with homework. I’ve also been a court appointed special advocate for a foster child, so kids with challenges do not scare me. I’ve also house-sat and taken care of all types of pets (friendly pets, haha). I graduated from UC Berkeley 2 years ago and am now working as a legal assistant and saving up while I apply to law school. And I looove arts and crafts🎨🧵🧶 I think that about covers it, but let me know if you have any more questions (:
Hi Berkeley neighbors! 🌟 My name is Ines and I'll be staying in the area (zip code 94702). Originally from Peru, I’m a bilingual mom (Spanish/English) of two with solid, hands-on experience caring for kids with warmth, patience, and high responsibility. I am fully authorized to work in the U.S. If you need a night out for dinner, time to run errands, or just a few hours to unwind, I’m available to babysit! I offer an upbeat, engaging energy and love keeping children entertained with fun, educational activities while you're away (I'm also happy to speak or practice Spanish with them if you'd like. Location: Berkeley (94702 & nearby areas) Feel free to send me a direct message so we can chat and get to know each other!

"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."
Lila P., parent

"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!"
