Pet care experience: I have three cats at home, including one with a disability (cerebellar hypoplasia), who I love taking care of. I have also had dogs/fish in the past.

Hello everyone! I'm currently looking for a part-time nanny position while I attend graduate school to become a Marriage and Family Therapist. I have extensive experience working with children across both educational and mental health settings, including early childhood education, therapeutic teaching with unhoused youth, behavioral therapy, and school counseling.

Hello, my name is Sarah and I am a recent graduate from U.C. Berkeley (class of 2024)! I studied Psychology and Education with an interest to pursue teaching and/or going into the health field. Although I have experience working with children from ages <1 to 6th grade, I feel most comfortable caring for children 2nd grade and below due to my bubbly nature. Don't let this scare you, as I can be very stern with boundaries and expectations that I am expected to enforce. For your kiddos in elementary school, I believe my background in being an afterschool program teacher will allow me to create all sorts of fun crafts for your little ones for mental stimulation! As for pets, I currently am a mother of 2 bunnies and an auntie of one dog. I have experience changing litter, cleaning and refilling water bowls, feeding schedules, walks, and giving your fur babies some attention on the side! Household services I have work experience in would include sanitization, sweeping, mopping, organization, and dishes. Though, I have personal experience with other household chores as well. I would love to gain your trust as a sitter, so please reach out to me for further questions! Hope to hear from you soon! Other important details: I am CPR/First Aid Certified, I have my food handlers certificate, I have volunteered in a daycare setting for 2 consecutive summers and have worked with children from TK to 6th grade for 2+ years.

Hi! My name is Careen, and I'm 22 years old with a strong background in caregiving, with several years of experience in supporting & babysitting children (Toddler to school-aged children), caring for seniors and pets in both home and community settings. As the eldest daughter & first born child in my family, caregiving has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I took on the responsibility of caring for & helping in raising my younger siblings in any ways I could - helping with their daily routines, meals, schoolwork, providing emotional support and positively contributing to their overall well-being. I am beyond grateful for this early experience, as it has taught me how to be proactive, patient, safety skills, reliable, effective communication, and how to balance care with compassion. This has shaped who I am today & allowed me to discover my passion for studying clinical psychology, and child development. Over the years, I've also devoted time to caring for & babysitting my younger cousins, watching them grow from toddlers into confident teens. I've learned how to adapt my approach to fit each child's needs - keeping them engaged, safe, and supported at every stage. My favorite activities to do with children are reading to them, arts & crafts, building lego sets & building blocks, cooking, doing exercise/dance videos & going out on walks to the park, coloring books, & painting. I also have experience in tutoring all K-12 children with math, science, & technology/computer science. I've devoted time to caring for my grandparents, assisting with household tasks & chores, companionship, and ensuring their physical & emotional needs were met. Non-medical services I offer include cooking & preparing meals, driving, taking them to the store, running errands, and grocery pick-up & delivery. I truly enjoy providing senior care because I love building genuine connections, listening to their stories & learning all of the wisdom they have to offer from their personal life experiences. My goal is to make them feel safe, valued & cared for. In addition, I'm also an animal lover with hands-on experience caring for family pets (along with my own animals), including feeding, walking, grooming, and maintaining their daily routines. I've done both overnight stays, along with daily check-ins to the home to care for pets. I consider that animals are part of the family too, and my priority is making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.

I am a college student currently attending UC Berkeley. I worked as an education facilitator for the Lawrence Hall of Science for a year and a half. I worked with kids of all ages, and it has been the best job that I have had. My main role was to educate kids about various subjects in STEM. But my role was also to make all the children feel safe, comfortable, and included. Seeing smiles on kids' faces or knowing that I taught them something brings me such joy. Working with children has been such an amazing experience, because even though I would teach them about science, I think kids can teach adults a lot of things, too. I am also available to take care of dogs. I've had dogs my whole life, and I absolutely love them. Dogs are so much fun because they require playing and running, which encourages me to also be active.
