Yesenia $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Benicia, CA

Hello! My name is Yesenia. I’m a proud mom of three wonderful children and a dedicated preschool teacher with over 4 years of experience working in an early childhood education setting. I hold 12 units in Child Development and have a genuine passion for nurturing young minds through play, music, and creativity. I love engaging little ones with nursery rhymes (especially songs by Ms. Rachel!), reading picture books, and doing arts and crafts that spark imagination. Being a child at heart helps me connect naturally with kids in a fun, caring, and safe way. I’m currently available on weekends for date nights and would be happy to provide your family with loving and dependable care.

Jenna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Jenna and currently enrolled as a student at UC Berkeley I've been working with children for the past few years through a variety of roles, including as a swim coach, a STEM education teacher intern, and baby sitter. These experiences have allowed me to work with children of different ages and personalities from the super shy and introverted children to the really bubbly and energetic little ones! In my free time, I always make sure to take care of myself, whether that's going on walks with my German Shepherd, going to the gym, Pilates, and yoga. I also love to paint, draw, and do all kinds of arts and crafts. I go on TONS of hikes with either myself, my friends, or my family whenever I can. I also enjoy cooking and baking. Something families should know about me is that I absolutely love nature and enjoy encouraging children to spend time exploring the world around them. I am also open to anything so just always feel free to let me know whenever!

Gwen $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Gwen, and I'm genuinely passionate about working with children. As an early childhood education professional, I absolutely love creating fun, safe, and nurturing spaces where kids can truly thrive. My experience as a TK/Kinder classroom leader and an assistant teacher at a preschool has given me hands-on skills in engaging young learners and supporting their growth. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your little ones are in capable hands. I'm also currently studying Early Childhood Studies at Sonoma State University, which means I'm always learning new ways to support children's development and make our time together enriching and engaging. I'm excited for the opportunity to build positive relationships with both your children and your family!

Beatriz
Booked by 1 repeat family
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Benicia, CA

Hi! My name is Beatriz, but most people call me Bea. I’m a caring, patient, and dependable childcare provider and a mom to a wonderful six year old boy. My love for working with children began at 14 when I helped care for children ages 0–5 at my church. Since then, I’ve gained experience in childcare and school settings including working as a paraprofessional. I also have experience supporting children with special needs and understand the importance of patience, flexibility, and getting to know each child’s individual needs. I have completed 16 units in early childhood education, which have helped me better understand children’s development and how to support their learning through play and everyday routines. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel comfortable being themselves, exploring, and growing. As a parent, I know how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care. I value open communication with families and bring kindness, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility to my work. I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and support your little one!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
