Hi there! I am employed full-time at a non-profit serving foster youth, and a part-time student at CSU East Bay, working to get my Master's in Social Work. I've always done babysitting on the side, but my two most recent families I babysat for were a couple with two boys (4 and 6) and a couple with a 1 year old girl, and a 6 year old boy. I did date nights for both of these families for five years. I enjoy babysitting (kids are so fun!), and strive to be a safe, nurturing presence when their parents/caregivers are away. I love being able to be goofy and creative with them too! If you have any more questions about me or my experience, please reach out!
Hi, I’m Rachel! I’m in the midst of a career transition and am looking for part time work while I’m in school. I graduated from UC Davis in 2019 and have been working as a UX Designer for the last few years. I’ve recently decided to return to school and pursue my interest in psychology and mental health, in hopes of eventually becoming a therapist. I’ve loved working with kids for as long as I can remember, from playing with my baby cousins in middle school, to working for after school programs and summer camps in high school, to teaching youth ultimate frisbee after college. I’ve worked with children in academic and athletic environments, as well as more traditional in-home babysitting. My priorities are the health and happiness of your children. I love arts and crafts, reading, and spending time outdoors- or whatever your kiddos prefer! I do have a car, and am happy to take your children to activities or appointments. I’m happy to answer any questions and look forward to working with you and your family.

I have a lot of experience with newborn, babies to teenager and experience with kids Autistic, ADHD and Special Needs! I use to drive them around, take them to the park and their activities, meal prep, help with homework and I love to be outside and do arts and crafts with kids! My last job I watched two girls, 10 months an 4yo. I worked for this family for about 2 years and now I'm currently looking for one time job, part time job or/and weekends job.

“Flavia is fantastic all around! She has helped our family several times and is very reliable and dependable. She is excellent with our 3-year old boy and 1-year old girl and they love it when Flavia comes over. Flavia has great positivity and energy and plays very well with the kids. Flavia also communicates very well and is very responsive. Further, she is extremely helpful around the house with any cleaning or chores that could be needed. Highly recommend!”
Hi my name is Lana, I am a current sophomore in college. I am majoring in biology and child development as a my minor!! I have two younger siblings, one 7 years old and 11 years old and I’m the oldest cousin in my family. I've helped take care of them when they were infants and toddlers so I have experience with diaper changing, putting them to sleep and most especially playing with them and having fun!! The past 3 summers I have been working with elementary school aged children during summer camp. I typically worked with students from the ages 5-8 years old. I love working with kids and I aspire to have a career that involves working with children.
