Hi I am a 28 year old student at Contra Costa College in the culinary program.I have been loving caring for children since I was 18 years old.I have preschool aide experience teaching and assisting children in cognitive development/hands on skills in a Montessori setting for three years. I also have housekeeping experience and love to cook and clean because I know what a load off it can give the family, that is what I care about making things easier for you.I am reliable ,warm hearted ,clean and patient and enjoy having fun with kids. I have a small Maltese poodle so I am dog person and can deal with cats but more of a dog person. I am open to kids of all ages over 8months old and can’t wait to meet you and your family.

Diamond is professional and communicative. She arrived on time, got straight to work, and went above and beyond to service my home for a deep cleaning. I'm grateful for her attention to detail and warmth.

Hi, My name is Tierra, I’m looking for part time and weekend work. I’m available early mornings and evenings. I have experience with children from newborn to elementary school age. I’m responsible and reliable. In 2022 I was a nanny for siblings a two year old boy and a 9 month old girl for a couple of months before she was old enough to start school. I was also a babysitter for a pair of sisters 3 years old and 2 years old. I work as a third grade after school teacher. I also used to volunteer at a preschool. I’m ok with doing light housekeeping if needed (dishes, laundry, sweeping, vacuuming, and wiping down counters/toys)

Tierra has cared for my son several times this past summer, from 16 months to 19 months old. She is kind, patient, and playful with him. It's an added benefit that she works as a teacher. I will definitely hire Tierra again.

Hello! My name is Nati :) I am an experienced childcare teacher who brings energy, warmth, and imagination to every family I work with. I’m currently a full time preschool teacher— I work primarily with 2’s and 3’s. Thus, I’m thoroughly experienced with multiple children at once!I’m also experienced with infants and older children! I'm a Yale student taking a gap year, which gives me the unique opportunity to dedicate my time to doing what I love most—working with kids! I am very artsy, love to read with kids, and am super-super playful!I believe in fostering a positive and supportive environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to grow. My time at Yale has also taught me the importance of curiosity and critical thinking—qualities I aim to inspire in the kids I work with. My other experience: I grew up in a home with young children and have babysitted since I was 13 years old. I have three years of professional experience working as the Youngest Campers Lead (ages 4-6) at Steve & Kate's Camp (a day camp) during the summer and winter breaks. When I’m not working with children, I love baking, reading, and going on hikes. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified and skilled at managing busy schedules. I love to clean, cook, and play at the same time! I know that managing kids can be a handful, and I'd love to help you in any way I can!

Very professional! Natalia was so great, she was very prompt, reliable, and caring. I would recommend Natalia to anyone with an infant because she’s very knowledgeable about what to expect according to their age and development (at 9 months of age in my case), and was very optimistic and positive. She was very empathetic and operated exactly according to my needs!
