$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Emeryville, CA

Hi! My name is Rebecca, I am 24 years old, and a recent graduate from UC Berkeley. I currently work part time as a Partnership Coordinator for the childcare non-profit Nurture, and as a behavioral class aide to autistic elementary students. I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. I offer child care, senior care, and household services. I believe that play-based learning in a structured and nurturing environment is the key to healthy childhood development. 🌱 I love arts and crafts, can help with homework, and can drive to/from school. I love cooking and am happy to work with animals as well! 🐾 I have extensive experience in child care as I have been a family babysitter since I was 15 years old. I have also worked through IHSS as a caregiver for a high support needs autistic woman with an intellectual disability. These experiences have taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of accommodating different learning styles. Additionally, I have experience caring for an elderly family member with dementia, which then transitioned into end-of-life care. As an undergrad, I was a dedicated member of the Sage Mentorship Project. I served as a mentor and Program Director for students at Sylvia Mendez Elementary and Fairmont Elementary. I’m excited to meet you and your family! ☺️

Hi! My name is Helia and I'm currently a new graduate working full time in San Francisco. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I am an older sister to two siblings and have worked as an afterschool nanny throughout university to a twin boy and girl. My responsibilities have included pickup from school, homework help, and taking them to and from activities. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. Additionally, during COVID I used to hold art classes for students ages 3-5 as a way of entertainment and social connection throughout quarantine.

Hannah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Hannah. I grew up in Santa Rosa and moved to San Francisco in August of 2024. I have a bachelor's degree in environmental and ocean sciences from the University of San Diego and I recently started working as an office engineer in construction. I happily nannied part time for a family for the last two years while living here in San Francisco. Since taking on a new role in the office I can no longer meet their scheduling needs, though I still babysit for them occasionally and formed a very close bond with their girls. I love spending time with kids and I'm trying to make some extra money to save in addition to my office job. I'd love to take on occasional babysitting roles. Please don't hesitate to reach out to chat or with any questions :)
