Sunita $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello, my name is Sunita. I have been working as a preschool teacher and babysitter for over 15 years mostly in the Bay Area. I also tutor kids to give them a boost in their education if showing weakness in any Subject. I love teaching and caring for young children, babies and toddlers as well as school age. I love doing arts and craft projects, music , singing, stories and just fun games to keep them busy and entertained besides taking care of their naps, feeding, diapering, and homework. I try to make it fun and happy when I’m helping the children as much as possible. I myself love little ones as this is an adorable age. I can put together simple quick meals if needed. I’m also looking for some summer time hours as I don’t work in the summer months and need to keep myself busy too. I drive and have my own car.

I enjoy working with children, especially just knowing how much they can teach you about yourself and the world around them. I used to work as a behavioral therapist in a variety of settings and manage youth volunteers at my church, and I've learned so much from my time there. I don't mind getting involved in any activity - I'll make sure I'm prepared! Especially dance and art.

I am a 21-year-old Brazilian nanny with around seven years of experience caring for children, especially infants from 0 to 11 months. I have always been passionate about childcare—ever since my first contact with a baby, even when I was still a child myself, I naturally developed a strong caregiver instinct. I am CPR and First Aid certified, I drive, and I can speak both Portuguese and English. I truly believe caring for children is a mutual exchange: while I help shape their early development with love, patience, and responsibility, they also teach me and help me grow as a person. I genuinely enjoy providing safe, attentive, and loving care to these little human beings.

Hi! My name is Sofia, and I am currently offering my services for childcare, senior care, and animal care. I have worked with children in some capacity or another for over 10 years, including as a social worker, higher education professional, horseback riding teacher, and camp counselor. I have extensive experience in caretaking for children ages 4 and up and lots of animals, too!

I hold my bachelor's degree from the University of San Francisco, am currently earning a professional coaching certification, and happy to provide my resume and references if needed.
