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!"
