Hi, I’m Dakota! I’m looking to help out busy families with after school care and dog sitting. I’m currently in school and working part time at Toppings Frozen Yogurt in Bennet Valley. I graduated high school at Montgomery High School on the High Honor Roll and love helping with English and Art. I’m passionate about everything creative, and love a good art project! I have been around kids in my family for years and have most experience with kids 3+. I enjoy helping kids with homework, doing art projects, and being in nature! On the doggy side of things, I’ve had 3+ dogs across my life and am very experienced in the art of playtime! I have been a dog sitter for my neighbors and my own dogs. I can stay on schedule for feeding times and I love going on dog walks and hikes. I’m experienced with Beagles, Chihuahuas, Pitbulls, and other mixed breeds. I am allergic to cats, but totally fine with dog shedding and large animals. I am experienced with household chores, as I live on my own. I can help with basic cleaning tasks, errands, preparing lunches, and many other chores. I am CPR and First Aid certified by the AHA. I can provide my certificate if needed.

I’m originally from Venezuela and have been living in the U.S. for 22 years, raising two teenage boys of my own. Over the past 3 years, I’ve worked with two wonderful families and currently care for children on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fluent in both English and Spanish, and love supporting kids’ language development through play and everyday routines. I create a warm, structured environment where children feel safe, seen, and encouraged to grow. I’m flexible, dependable, and always try to meet each family’s unique needs so their little ones can thrive.

Hello! My name is Evelin, and I am a compassionate, dependable, and experienced caregiver who genuinely loves working with children. Caring for kids has always been something I enjoy because I love helping them learn, grow, and feel safe in a positive, nurturing environment. I have experience working with children of all ages through my time at the Boys & Girls Club, where I learned how to build meaningful connections with kids from diverse backgrounds while creating fun, engaging, and age-appropriate activities. This experience strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to understand each child’s unique personality and developmental needs. In addition to my childcare experience, I have worked in healthcare as a Nutrition Aide, where I developed exceptional attention to detail, responsibility, and compassion while caring for both children and adults. My medical background has taught me the importance of safety, cleanliness, organization, and remaining calm under pressure. I am CPR certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and able to communicate comfortably with both children and parents from diverse backgrounds. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, patient, organized, and attentive. I understand how important it is for parents to have peace of mind, and I strive to create an environment where children feel loved, respected, supported, and encouraged every day. One of the qualities that sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for children. I treat every child as if they were my own—with kindness, patience, respect, and unwavering attention to their well-being. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and happy, and I am committed to providing the highest level of care while supporting their emotional, social, and developmental growth. Whether we’re reading books, doing arts and crafts, playing outdoors, helping with homework, preparing healthy meals, or simply sharing laughs throughout the day, I enjoy creating meaningful experiences that make children feel comfortable and confident. My goal is to become a trusted, dependable caregiver who not only supports your family’s daily routine but also builds a lasting, positive relationship with both you and your children. I would be honored to become a part of your family’s support system and provide the loving, professional, and dependable care your children deserve.

My name is Amy. I am a former preschool teacher of over 15 years and have a lot of experience as a nanny. I have cared for children from 2 weeks to 12 years old, and have two children of my own. I am reliable, responsible, creative, nurturing, and very safety conscious. I enjoy working together with families to really find what's best for their child. I'm great with scheduling, time management, potty training, positive discipline, sleep training, and inspiring learning and growth! I love exploring nature with children and doing lots of art projects. I am first aid and CPR certified. I'm always happy to help with light housekeeping, organizing, food prep and errands if needed. I am a part time certified health and wellness coach and believe it's important to incorporate this into my work with children as well!! In my spare time, I love to make jewelry, cook, and spend time with my family.

Hi, my name is Leslie and I am a junior at SRJC. I have liked babysitting ever since my nephew was born when was I just 10 years old. I have since taken care of family friends children and even recently my two little cousins. I have had the pleasure of caring for other families. My responsibilities have included cooking, changing, taken to/from school. The activities I most enjoy doing with children are coloring, taking walks, and watching movies.

I’m a caring and dependable babysitter with 7 years of experience looking after children of all ages. Along with professional experience, I regularly babysit my nieces and nephews, which includes school pick-ups, homework help, and fun activities like going to the park or doing creative projects together. I love keeping kids engaged, active, and safe while also following each family’s routines and expectations. Families describe me as reliable, patient, and easy to connect with, and I always bring a positive attitude into the home. In addition to childcare, I also have experience fostering cats and volunteering at an animal shelter, so I’m comfortable with pets too. Whether it’s after-school care, evenings, or weekends, I’m flexible to meet your family’s needs. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel cared for and parents have peace of mind.

Hi! I'm a recent high school graduate, attending community college. I'm looking for an occasional or part-time job doing something I enjoy-- and I love working with kids! If I find we are a good fit, I'm open to considering longer-term options. Experience & Qualifications: I have some babysitting experience with another local family who I babysat for occasionally throughout high school. Their kids were 4 and 7 at the start. I've also worked as a substitute classroom aid at the German Language School of the North Bay in Novato and mostly substituted in the kindergarten class which had kids ranging from 3 to 6 years old. If you'd like to know more about paid work and volunteer work I've done, I'd be happy to send you my resume or discuss this further. I'm happy to provide references as well. Just reach out! Note that I haven't had formal tutoring experience but would be comfortable assisting a child in learning all the teaching skills listed on my profile. I am CPR/First Aid/AED certified for infants, children and adults. Background & Childcare Approach: I was educated in Waldorf schools from preschool to 12th grade. My childcare approach emphasizes being a nurturing emotional presence for children. I believe children don’t need to become someone. They already are someone. And I believe it’s my job to help that unfolding happen safely, while letting them grow into themselves. To gain skills to increase their safety in the world rather than hide from it. To learn to distinguish good risks to take from harmful or dangerous risks. I want to encourage them to play hard, and I use kindness as a guiding principle in everything. I hope to help them build healthy confidence, knowing they are capable and can do hard things– and are able to ask for help. I value a healthy and age-appropriate transparency between child and adult, enough for children to know that adults aren’t perfect, and we don’t expect them to be perfect either. I hope to teach them humility by example so that they too can learn to say “that wasn’t my best moment, and I know how to come back and repair.” I hope to bring these values into a warm family household that also shares them. Best, Sofia
