Hi families! I’m Christina — a new mom and graduate student who truly enjoys caring for kids. I’ve been babysitting for almost 10 years, working with children of all ages, and I’ve also loved sharing language through my experience as a Mandarin tutor. Being a parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your little ones in someone else’s care. I’d be honored to support your family and give you peace of mind.

Hello families, I am Merve, and I am 28 years old. I have experience with kids for more than 5 years. I am looking for part time/occasional jobs. I am fully vaccinated and have my own car. Thank you!
“Absolutely an exceptional babysitter. She jumped right into our challenging and unstructured job (watching our kids during a dinner party), and really won the kids over. They loved her! I appreciated her flexibility, professionalism, and warmth toward the children.”

I am currently working as a lead preschool teacher. I have been working for the school for over 5 years. I have a bachelors degree in Human Development with a concentration in Childhood development. I am still actively taking classes to obtain my site supervisor early childhood education permit. I enjoy working with young children and helping them grow into confident, caring individuals. I love to spend quality time with them and help them reach their goals. I have passion, love, and patience for the work that I do. I am responsible and caring and value each child for who they are.
“She was awesome with our 2 yr old. We highly recommend her and would definitely have her again.”
