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!

I’m a reliable and trustworthy mom from Castro Valley with a wonderful ninth-grader. I previously taught at a public school here in Castro Valley, and I hold an active California teaching credential for multiple subjects and special education. I love caring for children, tutoring, and would be happy to support a parent who is homeschooling.

Booked by 189 families in Dublin, CA

Hello, my life has always revolved around children. I worked with my local school district for over 20 years as a Chid Aide. The program was designed to improve a child's self-esteem and improve comfortability in a social setting. This was done through interactive play sessions where a child can truly be themselves. Apart from raising my own three children, I have also worked at a daycare providing a safe and educational environment for up to 12 children. Nutritional cooking is also a big part of my life and something I enjoy sharing. My passion is caring for children in fun, educational, musical, and artistic ways.

Great experience with Alexandra. Very attentive and kind. Would book again.

Booked by 205 families in Dublin, CA

Hello! My name is Kassandra, however, I prefer to go by Kassie. (I apologize that video in my profile is old, I will update it when I can). I am a student who works as a waitress as it is accommodating. I am currently enrolled at SJSU as a Psychology major with a double minor in Child Development and Sociology. I’m looking down a career pathway of becoming a Child Psychologist, therapist/counselor, school counselor, behaviorist therapist or something along that path. I love working with children and I want to make a career out of it. I have received AAs in Psychology, Allied Health, Natural Science and Health Education. I love to help others. I’ve always wanted to follow in my grandma’s footsteps with saving lives and making a difference by working in the medical field. I am COVID-19 vaccinated and boosted as well as flu vaccinated. I have also received all my other vaccines. My experience with children goes back to when I first started babysitting at the age of 12. I have worked at day cares where I have experience with children from infancy to 15 years of age. I am comfortable with all age groups. I do not smoke. I love animals as well so pets are never an issue! I have experience house sitting/petsitting as well. I have been house sitting/petsitting since I was 13 years old. It first started out with watching my neighbor’s house and cats while they were gone and progressed to dog sitting/cat sitting at other people’s houses. I am very responsible and respectful of other people's homes. I clean up after myself and make sure the house looks like it did when I arrived.
