I came to the United States from Ukraine two and a half years ago to help my brother care for his children. At that time, the older girl was five years old and the younger had just been born. I cared for them full-time until recently, when the younger one began kindergarten. Through this experience, I discovered how much I enjoy working with children and how rewarding caregiving can be. My professional background is in healthcare — I am trained as a nurse — which has given me a strong foundation in responsibility, patience, and attentiveness to others’ needs. In addition, I have completed CPR and First Aid training here in the U.S., so families can feel confident that their children are in safe hands. Now that my niece is in school, I am looking for a new opportunity where I can bring my skills, experience, and genuine love of caregiving to support other families. I am dedicated, nurturing, and trustworthy, and I treat every child as if they were my own.

Tania is an excellent baby very kind and professional, I highly recommend her, she’s our favorite babysitter

Atidtiya $28 per hour for 1 child

About Me Hi! My name is Atidtiya, and I have over three years of hands-on childcare experience in the United States, along with additional nursery experience from back home. I was an au pair for two wonderful families — one year in Connecticut caring for three children, and one year in San Francisco caring for two children. Before becoming an au pair, I worked as an assistant in a child nursery for 1.5 years, supporting early childhood development and daily routines. I am gentle, patient, and reliable, and I always try to make children feel safe, understood, and engaged. I’m comfortable with a wide range of ages, from babies and toddlers to school-aged kids, and I’m experienced with everything from creative play to bedtime routines and meal prep. Now that I’ve completed my au pair program, I’m open to babysitting opportunities and look forward to meeting new families in the area.

Hello, If you are looking for experience you’ve found it! Ive worked in a hospital O.R. The reason I share that is because I do not panic and have seen it ALL. Safety being my number one priority for your child. I am en educated Early Childhood caregiver with all of the CA required Units to teach preschool and fully Red Cross CPR/First aid certified. I was a private Nanny full time for a local family for several years, caring for their 2 children from infancy. Those children are school age now. The last 2 years Ive been providing back up care for business, serving families in the Bay area providing care in their homes. Im a big proponent of play and the important role it plays in a child's development. I especially enjoy outside time. I studied horticulture and am hugely passionate about plants. My life has always been caregiving either of people or plants. Trust is important to me. I am the one you can entrust with your most precious child! It’s a privilege to be trusted by you and to provide your family with excellence. I am a married Mom of 2 girls ages 22 and 19. I look forward to chatting with you about your childcare need.

Michelle is professional, reliable, and has a natural warmth. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have 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!"
