I’m a 25-year-old nursing student with over 10 years of childcare experience, including 6 years as a babysitter/nanny and 4 years as a birth and postpartum doula. I’m passionate about supporting children’s development and creating a safe, nurturing environment where they feel understood and cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and truly enjoy building strong connections with both kids and their families.
I’m a bilingual caregiver and MSW student who loves working with kids. I’m patient, creative, and experienced in school settings. I love planning fun activities and making sure your little ones feel safe and happy!
Hi! I’m a responsible and caring person with experience taking care of children of different ages. I’m patient, organized, and love creating a safe and fun environment.

I also feel comfortable with pets and enjoy helping families keep their home running smoothly. I’m reliable, communicative, and truly enjoy working with kids.
Hi! I'm Melinda and I am a Family Nurse Practitioner in Berkeley who recently graduated from Duke University. My husband and I just moved to the area and I am waiting for my full time job to start. I am looking to build some relationships with local families to earn some extra income. I love kids and have worked with kids for 10+ years in various settings. From the early days of babysitting my neighbor, to lifeguarding, to being a summer camp counselor, and for the past decade caring for kids and families has become my profession. I have experience with all age ranges and am BLS/ CPR certified. I am a board certified family nurse practitioner and registered nurse in the state of California. I have previously held certifications in neonatal, infant, and pediatric emergency settings. I have broad availability on the weekends and some availability on weeknights. I'd love to connect to see if we are a good fit!
Hi there! I love children and believe that they are smarter than adults often give them credit for. I believe in creating a supportive, uplifting, and safe environment where kids can learn and grow. I love being silly with kiddos and learning with/from them. I am a mental health therapist working on building my private practice. I have a background in working with kids and babysitting kids as well. I have pets and can take care of them, plus do light household chores if needed. I have my own car and have a clean driving record. I would love to chat!

"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
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
