Hello! My name is Muwazu and I am a graduate from Mills College at Northeastern University and a current college advisor through UC Berkeley. I have over a decade of experience working with children ages 3-14. Some of my responsibilities included tutoring, bed time routines, carpool/drop-offs, crafts, music instruction, and skating lessons. Over the last 8 years I've had experience in various afterschool programs in Oakland and Berkeley. I was employed as a teacher’s aid in several elementary schools including: Washington Elementary, Mills College Childrens school, and Fruitvale Elementary. I am offering childcare, pet care, and senior support. Child care: I love spending time with kids and getting to know their unique personalities. I have dedicated my degree and career to supporting children’s growth and creating environments that encourages education. I want to be a reliable helping hand and friend of the family. Senior care: I appreciate all members of the family and the community. I understand the importance of punctuality and dependability. Pet care: I have sat (short term and long term) for families with multiple dogs and animals like bearded dragons, snakes, birds, and gerbils. I am comfortable with larger animals as well and can maintain routines with them.

I have extensive experience working with children through my summers as a nanny, where I handled daily routines, prepared meals, coordinated extracurricular activities, managed household tasks, and ensured a safe, engaging environment. I’ve also worked with seniors in an assisted living setting, where I greeted residents and families, supported caregivers, completed medical charting, helped serve meals, trained new staff, and stayed on call to address needs as they arose. These roles taught me empathy, patience, and how to respond calmly and efficiently in sensitive situations. In addition to childcare and senior support, I’m comfortable assisting with household responsibilities—organizing, scheduling, tidying, running errands, coordinating appointments, and managing day-to-day tasks. I’ve also had roles involving pets, including walking dogs and incorporating them into daily routines while nannying. My strengths include strong communication skills, dependable time management, adaptability, and a genuine commitment to helping others. I’m detail-oriented, organized, and able to learn new systems or routines quickly. Above all, I am caring, trustworthy, and dedicated to creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment for individuals and families!

Hi! My name is Payton and I'm currently working as an engineer full-time. I am looking to make some extra cash on the side and enjoy spending time with kids (and animals). I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old and worked full-time as a nanny for two summers for two awesome girls (4&6). I have also worked/volunteered as a soccer coach, in-school translator, and tutor. I can cook, help around the house and run errands where needed. I currently have cats and have previously had a dog and am more than happy to help with any animals.

Hi! I began babysitting in high school and have been working with kids ever since. Throughout college, I worked at an outdoor day camp with preschool and elementary-aged kids. Upon graduating college, I got a job working as a science and garden teacher in a San Francisco elementary school, teaching classes about nature, biology, ecology, gardening, and food. I stayed in that role for 3 years and worked as a part time nanny and babysat throughout that time as well. I now work as a massage therapist in Berkeley and miss getting to work regularly with kids. When working with kids, I prioritize play, learning, and connection, but I also am confident in setting boundaries and expectations when it comes to safety and your family's rules! I have training in social-emotional learning and trauma-informed practice and feel comfortable setting those boundaries in a way that still expresses care and connection. If you have a child with music, art, or food interests, I am happy to help out with those! I have been playing jazz bass for 13 years, have spent a lot of time doing various kinds of art (and have led art weeks at camps), and have led cooking classes with kids. I have also played a lot different sports, including ultimate frisbee, soccer, water polo, lacrosse, and basketball, and would be happy to pass a ball with a sport-enthusiast. I am happy to do various tasks, including making dinner, helping with homework, getting outside, etc. I am able to drive and have a car, so I can also pick kids up/drop them off if need be. I am happy to answer any other questions you may have about my experience! Thanks!
