Himani $40 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caregiver and teacher who brings the vibe of a camp counselor and friend. I’m the eldest daughter of an immigrant family and have been working with children since the age of 7. I am comfortable bringing out my own inner child and creating a beautiful mix of learning and play. This year, I put my teaching skills to the test in the classroom and explored subbing for grades K-5. When I care for your children, I will come with books and games suited for their age level. All other details can be personalized when we meet. Let’s have an amazing day together.

Ida $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a 54year-old mom with a 23-year-old son in college and a super sweet 10-year-old mini poodle. I love hiking, family time, and being around kids and pets. I work from home full-time for Stanford Health Care, so I’m available after 3:30pm on weekdays, plus evenings, late stays, and weekends. I can help with babysitting, school pick-ups, dog sitting, dog walking, driving, cooking, and light cleaning—whatever makes your life easier. I’ve been caring for kids my whole life (nieces, nephews, friends’ little ones), and I truly enjoy it. I’m also looking to make some extra money to help support my son’s college costs. For peace of mind: • Global Entry (clear background) • Clean driving record • Total dog lover! If you’d like to chat and see if we’re a good match, feel free to reach out. Thanks for considering me!

Hi! I’m Mariah and i’m 19. I’m currently an ABA therapist and work with kids ages 1+. I did cheerleading for 8 years leading me to be very perky and energetic to keep up with busy families/lives. I would love to help you clean or play with your kiddos! :) I’m super allergic to cats, but would be happy to watch your dogs. I’m comfortable with driving/outings, doing light cooking if needed and more. Feel free to reach out if you think we’d be a match.

Booked by 3 families in Milpitas, CA

Hi! My name is Emma. I’m a graduate student at Santa Clara university pursing a masters in counseling psychology. My experience with children ages 2-18+ began in 2020 as a freshman in college where I worked in the academic counseling office at my community college. From there I worked with 2nd graders in a school setting, supported teachers, was an intern at a head start school, I transitioned to work in the hospital supporting kids ages 5-9 years old with bereavement. Throughout the years my experience has extended from various settings and I look forward to providing a safe and fun environment for your children! I love to do arts & crafts and enjoy crafting some activities for children all ages! At my current internship at a school site (k-6th grade) I’ve had the greatest opportunity use my creativeness and make multiple items for my students! I truly enjoy doing these items and love to be outside! I have my own form of transportation, I know how to make simple meals, I can clean, and I’m a Spanish speaker! Aside from this, I enjoy being outside and going on walks! Note: while I do live in Newark I am very used to commuting and don’t mind driving to different locations!

"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!"
