New Online Job Listings Board Connects Parents with Caregivers
BANANAS now has an online job listings board where parents can connect with babysitters and nannies. It's free and easy!

Big things are happening at BANANAS! Today we are excited to announce the launch of our brand new Online Jobs Listings Board, a feature that directly connects parents with in-home caregivers. For over three decades, parents have come to our office to hang up their job postings on the board in our lobby. It’s where nannies and babysitters visit daily to peruse the opportunities, and now parents have the ability to post directly on our website.
With nearly 13 percent of preschoolers being cared for in the home by non-relative caregivers, the challenge of finding the right nanny or babysitting can be overwhelming. This is especially true when choosing someone to care for an infant. We are proud to have been the dependable place parents have come when looking for child care in Northern Alameda County for 40 years and are overjoyed to be sharing this new technology with our clients.
Says Development & Communications Director Tara Bartholomew, “We receive calls daily from parents looking for nannies and babysitters, and they know BANANAS is the trusted place to go. Over the past year we have worked diligently to foster a strong online presence and this is yet another step for us to better serve families.”

To post a job announcement, parents simply fill out the details of the position and click submit. Once it’s approved, it will be published on our website and remain there for 30 days (or until it is marked as filled). Job seekers can easily view all of the listings and get in touch with parents directly. It’s easy, convenient, and free. Be sure to check out this user-friendly innovation and get connected with our child care community!
