My name is Tristan and I am a Cal graduate and have worked closely with children in a classroom setting and as a babysitter and part-time nanny. I love developing a strong, trusting relationship with children. I am currently a part-time nanny for a 3-month old and am in charge of bottle feedings, contact naps, tummy time, and other age-appropriate enrichment. I was a part-time nanny for a 10 year old from October 2018 to May 2019, and for a 2 year old from August 2021 to September 2022, and two families of 3 (ages 4-9) in Berkeley in 2023 and 2024. I've previously worked at a Children's Discovery Museum as an educator, assisting a wide range of children in developing a deeper understanding of the arts and sciences. I have experience performing reading intervention and mentoring third- and fifth-grade students at Emerson Elementary in Berkeley. I pride myself on my reliability, kindness, understanding, and my ability to connect with children! I love promoting curiosity, encouraging self-expression, and role modeling positive interactions with others/the environment. I am committed to supporting your family and implementing practices that best meet your needs. I look forward to getting to know you and your family!

Hi everyone. I am glad to get to know each family I work for. I speak Portuguese and English. I have experience with ages between 6 months to 15 years old. I have a couple of years of experience with kids back in my home country and here in the USA. Glad to answer any question you have. Thank you

Hi! My name is Phia and I would be happy to work with you. I have been working with children professionally since I was 16 but babysat before then. I have worked with children of varying ages, from infants 3 months and older, toddlers, elementary age, all the way up to young teenagers preparing for high school. I graduated from the University of San Francisco with a BA in sociology in May 2022. I now work as a project coordinator supervising youth development and policy at a local non-profit. I still work with babysitting families 1-2 times a week. In the Bay Area, I have worked as an after-school program leader for the YMCA in SFUSD, as well as a classroom aid. Beyond this, I have worked as an interim babysitter and nanny for various families before and during the pandemic. Through my time with the YMCA and other organizations, I have been trained in childhood development and creative education. I enjoy working with kids because it helps me keep in tune with my ability to empathize and stay creative. Children are the expression of a community, so staying in tune with the needs and experiences of youth is better for the community as a whole. Booking and payment policy: Same day cancellation, if you cancel within 4 hours of the booking start time, you are agreeing to pay me 1/2 of lost wages.

Hi! I'm a part-time student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for working with children. I spent several years as a camp counselor working with special needs children through high school and college, which gave me a deep appreciation for patient, attentive, and individualized care. I have a background in engineering which means I'm reliable, detail oriented, and great at problem solving. I also grew up in a Chinese household with Mandarin as my first language, which I'm happy to incorporate naturally into our time together if that's something your family values. I'm calm, warm, and genuinely enjoy engaging with kids through play, creative activities, reading, and exploring. I believe every child deserves to feel seen and supported. I have a pediatric CPR, AED and first aid certification, and am taking child development courses. I’m happy to provide references :)
