Bo $40 per hour for 1 child

I am a highly experienced caregiver and educator offering a premium, enrichment-focused childcare experience. With a doctorate in music and over 20 years of service as a youth teacher in my church community, I bring a unique blend of academic depth, creativity, and nurturing care to each family I work with. As a mother of two (ages 11 and 16), I understand firsthand the importance of consistency, structure, and emotional attunement. I create an environment where children are not only well cared for, but also intellectually and creatively engaged through music, guided learning, and thoughtful interaction. My weekday afternoons are dedicated to my work as a piano instructor and to caring for my own children; I am now intentionally seeking to support younger families during morning/early afternoon hours, where I can offer high-quality care. I approach every child with the same level of love, attentiveness, and responsibility that I give my own, and I value building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents.

Hi everyone, my name is Shelby. I'm currently a 5th-8th grade educator but have taken care of newborns, and worked professionally in environments with children as young as 3 and up to 17. I love creating fun and inclusive spaces for children which is why I've dedicated the last 8 years to working with them! I'm also a huge pet lover (with a rabbit and pug of my own) and would love to meet any fur babies of yours 😄. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my qualifications or experiences. I'm CPR/First Aid/AED certified.

Elysia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Elysia, and I am currently a senior at UCLA. I have a passion for working with children and serving our youth in any way I can. Kids truly bring so much joy to life, and I love connecting with them while supporting their growth, confidence, and creativity. I hope to not only be a caregiver, but also a positive mentor and role model for the children I work with. I have hands on experience working at the Boys & Girls Club, where I formulated weekly lesson plans that encouraged student participation through interactive activities and creative projects. I focused fun and engaging learning experiences while fostering an environment where children felt safe to express themselves and develop critical thinking skills. Creating a supportive and welcoming space was always my top priority. Through this role, I demonstrated strong leadership and mentorship by guiding students in personal growth, helping them set attainable goals, and motivating them through positive reinforcement and recognition of their accomplishments. This approach helped increase their self confidence and enthusiasm toward both academics and daily life. I also implemented structured daily routines to provide consistency, while maintaining a warm, caring, and positive attitude when working with both individuals and groups of children. Overall, I strive to ensure a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and inspired to be their best selves. I truly love working with kids and feel grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in their lives.

Violet $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Violet and I am from Pleasanton! I have previous experience working with children from nannying kids of relatives to various neighborhood children. I am fluent in Mandarin and can converse in basic English. I value a child's schedule to make sure they are not only eating and sleeping right healthily, but also happy and having fun. I am skilled with infants and can even assist with potty training. I love what I do and have always had a passion for working with kids so I would love to work with you and your family to provide the best care for your little ones! I’d describe my personality as extroverted, easy going, and thoughtful. I'm naturally out going and love to meet new people! I like working with kids because they bring so much energy and curiosity into every interaction. What I love is being able to be a part of their growing journey! From discovering unique strengths to helping them learn new things, it's incredibly rewarding to be a positive influence on a child's life. I’m looking for a job where I can build a trusting relationship between the children and the families! I want to work in a positive, respectful environment where there is open communication with kindness and consistency. I started working with kids when I first became a mom! I am a mom of three: my oldest is 20, middle is 16, and youngest is 9. Being a mom has given me my years of experience in child care. In my spare time, I love to hike, spend time outdoors, and explore new places! I love getting fresh air and enjoying nature. When winding down, I like to spend time with family and watch new movies and shows. My skills include potty training, patience, and creativity. I have lots of expertise with potty training as I've had to do it for my own little ones! I am calm and patient even in challenging situations to best support children. I love coming up with ways to engage a child in learning through play time so they learn skills while also having fun!
