Hello! My name is Jia and I am a recent graduate from San Francisco State University. I have an extensive background working with children, mainly grades K-6th. I have worked at an afterschool/summer program for 6 years (2 years volunteer, 4 years paid), looking after around 50 kids at a time. My roles there included chaperoning on daily park trips and weekly field trips, taking care of lunch and cleanup operations, as well as tutoring on math and English. My top priority is to always ensure the children are safe, but also to add some fun into their day! I understand that every child has different needs, so I’m always adapting and learning as I go. I can assist with cooking/meal prepping, cleaning, and running any errands as well if necessary. I also speak Mandarin and Cantonese!
Hello! My name is Juliana, and I am 18 years old. I was born and raised in Oakland, California, and I am currently pursuing a degree in Education with a minor in Child Development. Working with children is something I am truly passionate about, and I have over four years of experience caring for and mentoring kids of different ages. I am energetic, responsible, and dependable, with a fun and goofy personality that helps me build positive connections with children. I enjoy creating engaging activities, supporting learning and development, and making sure children feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also have quick reflexes and stay attentive at all times, allowing me to respond quickly in any situation. My goal is to provide a nurturing, supportive, and enjoyable environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I look forward to bringing my experience, enthusiasm, and dedication to your family.
Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and energetic caregiver who genuinely loves working with kids. I have experience with children of all ages and personalities, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and included. I currently work at an after-school program, which has helped me build strong skills in staying organized, keeping kids engaged, and handling different situations calmly. I also volunteer on some Sundays at a children’s ministry at church, where I usually work with toddlers—so I’m very comfortable with younger kids as well! In my free time, I enjoy staying active and being outdoors, and I like bringing that same fun, positive energy when I’m with kids—whether that’s playing games, helping with homework, or just keeping them entertained and happy. I’m reliable, easygoing, and someone parents can trust to take great care of their kids while making sure they have a good time too!
“Very professional and great w small children”
I am a 2nd grade teacher with an Early Childhood Education background. I have been teaching for 6 years. Prior to this I was a full time nanny or live in nanny from 19-26. I have cared for a variety of children from infants to teenagers. My primary care has been infants through age 8. I have cared for high special needs kids as well such as Down syndrome, autism, and childhood cancer. I also am a mom to a level 1 autistic child who’s 7. I am seeking part time work and would not be bringing my own child. I work full time as a teacher during the school year and will be off all summer seeking occasional babysitting or tutoring if interested.
hey! my name is Perla and i’m currently finishing my year as an au pair. I’m offering child care and household services. I’ve been babysitting for multiple years now. I’ve been a pool supervisor in a summer camp for one season when I was 18. I took care of different kids before coming to the US to be an au pair. And also a have a younger sister. My responsabilities with my current host family are helping helping with the morning routine, lunch prep and getting them ready for school. After school i prepare them dinner, play any boardgames, watch a movie, or anything that comes at the moment. it really depends on the day and the kids mood. I don’t have a drivers license, i mostly manage via public transport or uber. I feel comfortable working with animals. We have two cats here where i live and i have one cat on my own back at home, so i love animals a lot🫶🏻

"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!"
