Hi! My name is Sophie, and I’m a junior at UC Davis studying English with minors in Education and Psychology. I’m an aspiring elementary school teacher and offer reliable, childcare, pet care, and household help. I have experience volunteering in both first- and third-grade classrooms, and I currently complete a 5-hour-per-week internship in a first-grade classroom at Pioneer Elementary School. I’ve taken courses in Human Growth and Development, Psychology, Language Development, and Introduction to Schools. I have a passion for working with and supporting young children. I also have experience caring for pets, including pet sitting for family members while they were away and caring for pets of my own. In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m happy to help with light household tasks, cleaning, errands, driving to appointments, and other day-to-day needs. I’m dependable and happy to tailor my help to each family’s needs!
Hi - My name is Adira and I'm currently a junior at UC Davis. I am majoring in psychology and minoring in education. I am offering child care. I love being a babysitter and helping out with kids extracurriculars. I also worked as a summer camp counselor where I had the opportunity to be the primary care-taker for campers ranging from 3rd to 10th grade. Through our counselor training, I have learned how to refocus attention, play engaging games, and help kids maintain routine. I also have a lot of experience settling in kids having difficulty falling asleep. I also love theater, and have volunteered for many youth shows, so getting to sing and dance with kids is my favorite! I am happy to aid with homework and study! I am also certified in Adult and Pediatric CPR/AED & First Aid.
Hello parents! My name is Dariany, and I'm a 23 year old college student majoring in Biological Sciences. I'm a compassionate and responsible caregiver with over three years of experience working with children ranging from preschool to sixth grade. I have worked as an afterschool program leader, where I supported children academically, created engaging indoor and outdoor activities, and maintained a safe, nurturing, and emotionally supportive environment. I enjoy helping children with homework in subjects such as math, reading comprehension, and art, and I take pride in encouraging their learning and personal growth. I am BLS/CPR and AED certified and am committed to providing dependable, attentive, and caring support to every child and family I work with. * I have worked primarily with children and have the most experience caring for children ages 6 and up. * I'm interested in providing occasional care such as date nights, outings, and similar needs.
Hello! My name is Amelia and I am a third year pre-education student at UC Davis. My dream is to become a TK or Kindergarten teacher after I complete my undergraduate degree. I am offering child care and household services. I love working with children in all contexts. I was an on-call babysitter for a 7 year old and toddler during my junior and senior year of high school. Here, I handled dinnertime, bathtime, and bedtime. Additionally, during my employment at the Ojai Valley Inn, I frequently worked with young children from young toddlers to teenagers, to create arts and crafts, such as candle making, soap making, and painting. I also have experience in my own life, watching over my younger siblings and cousins, ages ranging from 3-7 years old. Additionally, I am a member of the Prytanean Women's Honor Society at UC Davis and have volunteered frequently in partnership with the UC Davis Transfer and Reentry Center to provide activities and entertainment for children (ages ranging 4-10) of UC Davis students, such as painting, playground supervision, and board games. I am also happy to cook and clean as part of my services.
Hello! I’m a 3rd year undergraduate student at UC Davis. I have experience working at a daycare for 4 years. I’ve also provided one-on-one tutoring throughout high school, so I’m comfortable helping with homework and creating a supportive environment. As for pets, I have a cat of my own, so I’m happy to help with pets and their care as well! I would absolutely love to contribute to your home in a meaningful way :)

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
