Monica 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Monica — a bilingual caregiver, former preschool and elementary school teacher with over 10 years of experience working with young children. I have a degree in Human Development with a concentration in Child Development through CSU East Bay University and I’m certified in CPR and First Aid. I also have a clear background and driving record. My passion lies in supporting the early years of development, especially for children ages 0–6. I’ve spent years in the classroom nurturing young minds, and I now bring that same structure, creativity, and care into the home. I offer in-home babysitting, homework help, and healthy meal prep — always creating a safe, engaging, and enriching environment for each child. I'm fluent in both Spanish and English, and I love incorporating language development and learning through play into everyday routines. If you're looking for someone dependable, nurturing, and experienced, I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Monica for 2 years, where we collaborated in the field of early childhood education. During this time, she demonstrated herself to be a dedicated, responsible professional with a strong commitment to the holistic development of young children. Ms. Monica stood out for her ability to create a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment, thoughtfully adapting activities to meet the individual needs of each child. Her pedagogical approach, combined with patience, empathy, and creativity, contributed significantly to the social, emotional, and cognitive development of her students. Her strengths include age-appropriate lesson planning, positive classroom management, effective communication with families, and strong collaboration with fellow educators. In addition to her professional skills, Ms. Monica is a reliable, well-organized individual with a consistently positive attitude—essential qualities for working in early childhood education. I highly recommend Ms. Monica for any role within the field of child development, particularly as she begins her new professional journey of opening her own child care program.

Hi! My name is Rebecca, I am 24 years old, and a recent graduate from UC Berkeley. I currently work part time as a Partnership Coordinator for the childcare non-profit Nurture, and as a behavioral class aide to autistic elementary students. I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. I offer child care, senior care, and household services. I believe that play-based learning in a structured and nurturing environment is the key to healthy childhood development. 🌱 I love arts and crafts, can help with homework, and can drive to/from school. I love cooking and am happy to work with animals as well! 🐾 I have extensive experience in child care as I have been a family babysitter since I was 15 years old. I have also worked through IHSS as a caregiver for a high support needs autistic woman with an intellectual disability. These experiences have taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of accommodating different learning styles. Additionally, I have experience caring for an elderly family member with dementia, which then transitioned into end-of-life care. As an undergrad, I was a dedicated member of the Sage Mentorship Project. I served as a mentor and Program Director for students at Sylvia Mendez Elementary and Fairmont Elementary. I’m excited to meet you and your family! ☺️

Hello! My name is Margaret! I’m new here, and excited to start my part time position becoming your house sitter, cleaner, or pet sitter. I can also pick up kids from school, do laundry or errands and things of that nature. I can provide people who can attest that I am trustworthy, kind, and that I learn very quickly! I am super diligent and hardworking and most of all, focused. Hope to talk to you soon!

Margaret has been a fantastic helper for our family. She's always punctual and reliable. She works really hard and takes directions well. She takes on any new household task that we throw her way with enthusiasm. We are very happy to have found her and grateful for her support.
