Greetings!🖖🏽 My name is Ava Alexandra (She/They) and I have been babysitting since 2019. I am a San Francisco native, multimedia artist, and community advocate who is working towards their Bachelor's Degree in Communications and Asian American Studies. In my spare time I enjoy painting, baking, fashion styling, event design, and singing karaoke!! I was born to two florists and enjoy making flower arrangements for friends and family. 💐 I have experience caring for children ages 1-12, and quickly adapt to different routines that work for every family. I am well versed in "mother's helper" tasks such as dishwashing, cooking, laundry, light housework, and organizing. I will always tidy up and help make things easier for you, your children, and family unit. I hope you consider me. Hope you have a fantastic October! 🎃 I am familiar with bedtime and bath time routines for children, ensuring they are well taken care of and happy. I enjoy working with children and providing them with the tools they need to be creative, grow strong, and be healthy! I enjoy art, fashion, and all elements of design. I love to design clothing and sew. Some of my interests include painting, watching anime, and playing Nintendo Switch games. Please book me at least 24 hours in advance. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Hope to be in touch soon. :)

“Ava was wonderful! She was punctual, friendly, and attentive throughout our day, which included a skating class and a Halloween event. She was easy to communicate with, stayed engaged the whole time, and was great with my 5-year-old daughter. I’d happily book her again!”

Booked by 8 families in Millbrae, CA

Hello, I'm Jessica, a 34-year-old Brazilian currently studying Respiratory Care. My passion for caring for children began at the age of 16, looking after my cousins. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers, although I adore children of all ages! On sunny days, I enjoy trips to the park or leisurely walks, and on rainy days, we can engage in creative activities like coloring, painting, or fort building. Outside of childcare, I relish hiking, exploring new destinations, and cherishing moments with friends. I also come with excellent references attesting to my dedication and competence in childcare.
