Rachel $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Rachel! I’m in the midst of a career transition and am looking for part time work while I’m in school. I graduated from UC Davis in 2019 and have been working as a UX Designer for the last few years. I’ve recently decided to return to school and pursue my interest in psychology and mental health, in hopes of eventually becoming a therapist. I’ve loved working with kids for as long as I can remember, from playing with my baby cousins in middle school, to working for after school programs and summer camps in high school, to teaching youth ultimate frisbee after college. I’ve worked with children in academic and athletic environments, as well as more traditional in-home babysitting. My priorities are the health and happiness of your children. I love arts and crafts, reading, and spending time outdoors- or whatever your kiddos prefer! I do have a car, and am happy to take your children to activities or appointments. I’m happy to answer any questions and look forward to working with you and your family.

I’m a Transitional Kindergarten (TK) teacher with about a decade of early childhood education experience in the Bay Area. I work with 4-5 year olds every day, so I’m well-versed in age-appropriate activities, gentle behavior redirection, and keeping kids engaged and safe. I also pet sit and babysit on the side! I also have house cleaning and experience working at a dog boarding facility. I like to stay active, love music and spreading joy ! I

Jessica $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a warm, reliable, and bilingual caregiver with extensive experience working with children. I hold Montessori Early Childhood Education credits and previously worked as a Montessori preschool teacher for children ages 2–5, where I supported each child’s growth through hands-on learning, patience, and respect for their individuality. I am CPR certified and committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel valued and supported. Families describe me as caring, dependable, and attentive. I enjoy helping children build confidence, independence, and a love of learning while providing parents with peace of mind that their little ones are in capable and compassionate hands.

Hello — my name is Melissa! I am offering occasional child care. I’m happy to cover date nights, school or work events, or times you just need to focus on something else. I am a former elementary school teacher (and current medical assistant) with interests in education/tutoring, reading, and spending time outdoors. I can often be found with my kindle by the lake or checking out an East Bay coffee shop. My subject matter expertise while teaching was math and science for elementary students, but I have worked with children as young as infants up through high school age. I started babysitting and tutoring when I was in middle school and have worked with children throughout college and my career. If you think I might be a good fit for you, feel free to send me a message. Looking forward to connecting!

“Melissa was great - attentive, fun, and positive. Our kids loved having her stay with them!”

I’m a reliable and trustworthy mom from Castro Valley with a wonderful ninth-grader. I previously taught at a public school here in Castro Valley, and I hold an active California teaching credential for multiple subjects and special education.

"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!"
