$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Meagan, I am a person who is passionate about caring for and teaching young children from infants through age 5. I have 23 years of child care experience. I am CPR and first aid certified, I am a creative and active person who enjoys helping children explore the world through art, music, outdoor activities, and sensory play. I have 72 units of early childhood education including infant and toddler development courses. I’m fluent in English. I also speak Spanish, some Portuguese and a little bit of French. I enjoy watching children explore the world around them and conquer the challenges life puts on their paths. My care taking style is play based because I believe children experience the world best when they are actively engaged in playing, exploring and using their imaginations to create new experiences for themselves. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me. I look forward to speaking with you soon! Respectfully, Meagan

Below are a few of many: -Very reliable -Over 20 years of experience -Extremely passionate and knowledgeable about early childhood development -CPR and first aid certified -Drives and has all the gear needed to take your kiddo on fun adventures! -Planned fun activities with our little guy. Brought over art projects, took him to ride bart (his fav) to various library story times, playgrounds, fairyland etc. -Extremely calm, warm, friendly and our kiddo loves her very much. -A wealth of knowledge regarding kids developmental stages! Played a large role in our kids growth, enrichment and emotional development. Cant recommend Megan enough. Her passion is working with kids and a new family would be very luck to have her!”

Booked by 2 families in El Sobrante, 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!

“Bea was on time and gave thorough feedback om how everything went. She was kind and my little guy had a good time with her. 😊🧡”

"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!"
