Hi families! My name is Yamilet, and I’m a childcare provider and art instructor with five years of hands-on experience working with kids of all ages. I’m a 20-year-old college student at Cal State East Bay studying Communication, and caring for children has been a huge part of my life for the past several years. I’ve spent four summers as the Lead Art Camp Instructor at St. Paul’s Episcopal School, where I planned and executed activities, supported ages 4–11, lead off-campus trips, and guided counselors-in-training ages 12–14. I learned how to keep groups engaged, safe, and supported while helping every child feel confident. Year-round, I work as the Head Nursery Childcare Provider at Indelible Grace Church, caring for infants and toddlers ages 0–3. I’m responsible for setup, cleanup, feeding, diaper changes, running the nursery, and directing volunteers. I’m CPR and first aid certified, and I’m very comfortable managing busy rooms with calmness, patience, and clear communication. If families are interested, I also offer optional weekly art lessons as an add-on. I teach drawing, watercolor, colored pencil, clay, and other fun creative projects—completely up to the family if they’d like to include this. Kids love having a creative outlet and a chance to explore different materials. I also run a small business called Yami’s Face Paint, where I do face painting, henna for events. You can see my work on Instagram at @yamisfacepaint. Outside of childcare, I’m a Division II cross country and track athlete, which means I’m dependable, energetic, and always on time. I’m fluent in English and Spanish and do my best to create a warm and safe environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I would love the chance to support your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
“Yami is so great. She is fun, engaging and flexible. My kids had the best time with her. ”
Hi, I am a 20 year old part time college student from the east bay. I am trained in conflic resolution and outdoor education, I am a lifeguard with CPR certification. I took ASL for 4 years in high-school, and am proficient and able to communicate clearly in ASL. I have worked in many different forms of child care. I have taught and directed circus summer camps as well and classes for 3 years, working with students ages 6 to 15. I taught and demonstrated different circus forms, helping each student succeed. I volunteered as a youth cabin leader for a non-profit organization for 6 weeks over the last 3 years, working with ages 8 to 12. I lived in the cabins with 7-9 students, attending to their needs and supporting them in their social-emotional development. Last spring I was hired as a Facilitation Fellow, I was then in charge of a youth leader as well as a cabin of 7-9 students during the morning and evenings. During the day I taught the curriculum, including conflic resolution, assertiveness and the importance of diversity to 15-16 upper elementary students at a time.

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.
“Phia is so great with my kids! She and my toddler especially get along great, and she does an awesome job playing with him. Highly recommend.”
Hello families! Warm, reliable nanny with 5+ years of experience available for weekend babysitting and date nights. I’m a caring and experienced nanny who has worked with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I truly love working with children and enjoy creating fun, engaging, and educational activities while helping maintain a safe, happy, and structured environment. I’m currently working with a wonderful family during the week, which I really enjoy, but I’m available for weekend babysitting, occasional care, and date nights if your family ever needs an extra helping hand. I’m also happy to help with pet sitting during the week or weekends, as I love animals and feel very comfortable caring for them. I’m reliable, patient, and responsible, and I always prioritize children’s safety and well-being. I recently renewed my CPR and First Aid certification. I’m bilingual (Portuguese and English), a non-smoker, vaccinated, and very pet-friendly. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help create a positive and caring environment for your children whenever you need weekend or occasional care. References are available.
