Booked by 1 family in Emeryville, CA

My name is Rocio. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have over 15 years of experience working with children of all ages. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified and can provide excellent references upon request. Caring for children has always been my passion. Throughout my career, I have worked in both professional educational settings and as a nanny, helping children grow, learn, and feel safe and supported. I pride myself on building strong, trusting relationships with children and their families. Many of the children I have cared for have remained an important part of my life, and I am honored by the bonds we have created over the years. Families describe me as nurturing, reliable, patient, energetic, and highly engaging. I love creating fun, meaningful experiences for children while also providing structure, consistency, and encouragement. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, exploring outdoors, or simply being a trusted adult in a child’s life, I genuinely love what I do. In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my dog, spending time with family, and being outdoors. I am outgoing, cheerful, and bring positive energy wherever I go.

“Our kids ask Rocio to come back every day. That tells one a lot - kids are picky (at least mine 3&5 year old)”

Booked by 4 families in Emeryville, CA

My name is Teresa but you can call me Tete. I am 30 years old and I was born in Mexico. I am offering child care, animal care and household services. When I was fourteen years old I entered an orphanage as a volunteer for children between zero and twelve years old. In the years I was not a volunteer, I babysit for a neighbor and worked at children's fairs. For the past 5 years I’ve been working with kids on the autism spectrum. From that experience I realized the great influence that we can be for children. We have the opportunity to teach them to be better human beings and at the same time we can learn from them despite their young age. Also animals are a big part of my life I have a lot of pets back in Mexico and I earned experience taking care of them. I drive since I was 17 years old and I have more than 5 years driving here in the United States.
