Hi! I’m Kareena, a sophomore student at UC Berkeley studying biology and public health. Previously, I worked as a Kumon instructor for children ages 3-18. I speak English, Spanish, Hindi, and Telugu. I can assist with cooking, meal prep, laundry, housekeeping, errands, swim supervision, language learning, and remote learning. I am CPR certified and have an active EMT license. I’d love to ensure your kids become the best version of themselves they can be!

Kareena spent the day with my 4 year old who LOVED her and is already begging for her to come back!

$15 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Tracy. I am a widowed empty nester looking to fill my free time. I raised two wonderful children, one of them was special needs who has since passed. I was a stay at home mom for many years until my husband passed. I used to watch children in my home for many years and miss having them around. I have been taking care of children since I was 10 years old whether it was for neighbors, my parents friends kids or my sister. I have lots of patience and love to teach kids new things like crocheting, arts and crafting. I'm good at helping with homework too! My daughter was multiple handicapped and needed help in all areas of daily living. If you have a special needs child I understand the need for you to get some ME time! Unfortunately, I am allergic to cats but dogs and other animals are fine with me. I stay home most weekends so if you're looking for a weekend getaway I would be happy to help. I am available during the week during the evenings after 4:00 and all day/night on most weekends.

$18 per hour for 1 child

I have over 25 years of experience working with children in various settings from training adults who serve children birth to 3, to being a nanny caring for four children. Currently, and for past five years, I have been working with middle school children with special needs specifically, Autism. I have extensive experience with children birth-3 and significant experience with ADHD and behaviors. I'm a few courses shy of my Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education and have significant amounts of training in various areas in education. I took a break from school to support my stepson who struggled in school. I value all children and their abilities. I enjoy working with children and believe all children should be encouraged to be kind, good, human beings and I believe we, as adults working with children are integral in making that happen.
