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.”
Hi,my name is Prudence. I'm a dedicated college student with over 5 years of experience caring for children of various ages. I thoroughly enjoy engaging with them through activities like park outings, playtime, and exploring their interests. My passion lies in nurturing young minds and creating meaningful connections. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, run errands and clean.
“Prudence has taken care of our now 6 year old on and off for 5+ years. She is a very fun, caring and thoughtful care giver and my daughter loved engaging with her. She is a great communicator and easy to work with. ”
Hi I’m Meagan, I am a person who is passionate about caring for and teaching young children from infants through age 5. I have 23 years of child care experience. I am CPR and first aid certified, I am a creative and active person who enjoys helping children explore the world through art, music, outdoor activities, and sensory play. I have 72 units of early childhood education including infant and toddler development courses. I’m fluent in English. I also speak Spanish, some Portuguese and a little bit of French. I enjoy watching children explore the world around them and conquer the challenges life puts on their paths. My care taking style is play based because I believe children experience the world best when they are actively engaged in playing, exploring and using their imaginations to create new experiences for themselves. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me. I look forward to speaking with you soon! Respectfully, Meagan
“Meagan is an amazing childcare provider. She started working with us when my son was 11 months old. She really helped him develop in so many ways. Meagan helped us transition from co-sleeping to sleeping on his own in crib without needing to be breathed or rocked to sleep. He started walking around 12 months and running all around by 13-14 months). Meagan is very knowledgeable. She helped us childproof our home and gives us so many great recommendations on anything can think of (e.g., best sippy cups, shoes etc). She knows about sleep schedule, wake windows, eating solids you name it! And if she doesn't know she will research and find out. Just like she did helping us teach him French. Our son knows many site words, alphabet, counting 1-20 in English and French by 15 months. Meagan helped him learn while having fun. Meagan also takes him out to explore and socialize with other kids (playground, children's gym, story time at library etc). This I am sure has helped his learning and development. She supports his emotional development, she is so patient and when he tantrums helps him sooth, models adaptive coping skills, and names feelings. As he has aged and is currently 5 years old a in school now, Meagan still supports our family with babysitting for special occasions and date night. She’s demonstrated skills with him at each age of his development from infant, toddler, to preschooler and now school age. She fun and connects well with him, he loves her. But she is has consistent routines and holds boundaries to ensure his safety and care. She also is knowledgeable about child development sharing resources and information. She also knows the east Bay Area well and shares engaging resources and activities to do with him. Meagan is all around amazing. She’s consistent and reliable as well as kind and thoughtful person. I highly recommend.”
