Hi! My name is Vitória, but everyone calls me Vivi. I’m currently based in the Bay Area and I’m offering child care, pet care and householdcare. I have experience with children of various ages. In my home country, I worked in a school caring for and supporting young children in their daily routines, learning, and play. Here in the US, I have two years of daily experience caring for children, and it's something I truly love. I'm patient, responsible, and always ready to create a fun, safe, and loving environment for the little ones. I also have experience caring for pets, such as walking dogs and helping with their daily needs, always making sure that the pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I'm patient, responsible, very affectionate and always ready to create a fun, safe, and loving environment for the little ones. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and proactive, I'd love to connect!
Hi families! My name is Marcela. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Public Accounting and I am currently pursuing an MBA. I am fluent in both English and Spanish and have over three years of childcare experience in the United States as an Au Pair, along with additional experience caring for infants and assisting in a preschool classroom. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, explore, and grow in a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. I have experience caring for children of different ages, including infants as young as 6 weeks old, and I love engaging them through reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, games, and age-appropriate learning experiences. Families describe me as patient, reliable, responsible, and caring. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, encouraging positive development, and providing parents with peace of mind knowing their children are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.
- Looking for one time or occasional jobs. Hi! I'm Laura, 26, from Brazil. I'm new to this app but not to childcare! I've been working with children since 2020, when I started teaching (over 9, 000 hours of experience). I've cared for kids of all ages, volunteered with underprivileged children, and worked as an au pair in the U. S., caring for a toddler, a 7-year-old girl, and twin boys. I'm very organized, responsible, and energetic, kids naturally match my energy! I love keeping them active and creative through arts & crafts, story time, baking, outdoor play, and learning activities. I'm CPR & First Aid certified, a good swimmer and driver, and a confident cook who can follow any recipe. I speak Portuguese (native), English (fluent), and Spanish (conversational). I'm always punctual and communicative. I want parents to feel comfortable and know their children are in good hands.
Hi! I’m a reliable, warm, and experienced caregiver with a background in childcare, pet care, and customer-focused roles. I am a single mother of 3 amazing adult children. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children, including feeding, playtime, bedtime routines, and creating a calm, safe environment. I’m attentive, patient, and love engaging kids with creative activities, outdoor time, and age-appropriate play. In addition to childcare, I’m very comfortable with pets (I’m a cat owner!) and happy to help with light household tasks like tidying up, meal prep, or organizing. I’ve worked in management roles, so I’m highly dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented—families can count on me to show up on time and follow instructions carefully. I’m currently looking for part-time or full-time opportunities and would love to support a family who values a kind, responsible, and trustworthy sitter. If possible, I’d love to work with a family that is open to occasional nanny-shares with my current family. They are moving out of town but will be back one week a month and would love for me to continue caring for their son on the days they are in town.
Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Parvaneh. I’m 47 years old and currently studying Psychology at university. I’m a patient, calm, reliable, cheerful, and compassionate person who truly enjoys caring for children, seniors, and families. With more than 20 years of experience teaching yoga and meditation, I have completed specialized training in Yoga for Children, Yoga for Seniors, and Corrective Movement by doing yoga. I enjoy promoting healthy habits, relaxation, mindfulness, and age-appropriate movement to support children’s development and older adults’ health and well-being. One of my passions is children’s literature. I have written and published a children’s book inspired by the importance of learning, imagination, and personal growth. I have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, feel loved, and build confidence. In addition to childcare, I can prepare healthy, home-cooked meals, run errands, help with homework, and support daily routines. I also have personal experience caring for my parents, which has taught me compassion, patience, and the importance of providing respectful and dependable senior care. I have a valid California driver’s license. I love both cats and dogs and am very comfortable working in homes with pets. Families can count on me to be kind, responsible, trustworthy, attentive, and easy to communicate with. My goal is to provide a safe, happy, and supportive environment where every family member feels comfortable, respected, and well cared for. I would be honored to support your family and look forward to meeting you
