Hello! My name is Leslie, and I have a strong passion for childcare and child development. I have experience working with children of all ages, including children who are neurodivergent. I strive to create a supportive, patient, and engaging environment tailored to each child's needs. Whether it's helping with schoolwork, planning creative activities, or providing a calm and structured routine, I'm here to support your family. I am happy to assist with light housekeeping or meal prep. I'm committed to providing compassionate and reliable care! Some background about me: I am a recent UC Berkeley grad and am currently taking some courses before applying to medical school where I will aim to become a pediatrician. Some of my hobbies include baking and reading. I am also fluent in Spanish and can aid the child into learning a new language if that is something they are interested in! I am currently available for occasional babysitting after late afternoons and weekends as well. Don't hesitate to reach out and we can see if your kiddo and I are a good fit!!

Hi there! My name is Zama and I am a nanny, who is dependable and experienced childcare professional with over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, school age children, and teenagers. While earning my Business degree at City College of San Francisco. I worked closely with families, helping not only with childcare but also with keeping busy households running smoothly. From preparing meals, grocery shopping, running errands, to driving children to school and activities, planning schedules and helping with homework, I became someone families could rely on. I would describe myself as patient, flexible, resourceful and calm under pressure. Every child is different, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personalities while supporting their growth and independence. My goal is simple: to be someone parents can trust and someone their kids feel happy, safe and excited to spend time with.

Hi Families, I recently graduated from dental hygiene school and currently work at a dental office, but caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I’ve been looking after kids for over 10 years! My very first job in high school was at a daycare, and I’ve also helped raise my little cousins since they were babies. On top of that, my mom runs a daycare, so I often lend a hand there whenever she needs me. I truly enjoy being around kids and helping them grow, and I’m so excited to meet your little one!

I am a 4th year college student studying Film and Business Administration. While childcare is not my long-term career path, I have always loved working with kids and families and I've been babysitting for families in my neighborhood since I was in high school. I have a warm and bubbly personality, I'm energetic, and love engaging with children through their hobbies and interests. I enjoy portraiture, model-making, and jewelry-making, so I'm great with arts and crafts and creative activities. I'm neat, organized, patient, and happy to help with cooking and cleaning if needed. Additionally, I have pet sitting experience and am comfortable working with/around animals .
