Anna $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Anna and I’ve been officially caring for children for more than 10 years. I have most of my experience from toddler age to older children but have been caring for infants in recent years. I began watching children early in my teenage years, starting with family and eventually caring for others children. I am currently completing my Associates in Child Development for my professional credential at City College. I enjoy getting the kids outside when the weather is nice so they can play at the parks and soak up the sun. Open to phone interviews to learn more about each other!

Lily $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lily and I recently graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.A. in Molecular and Cell Biology. I am looking for part time work while I finish up a few prerequisite classes this year. I babysat for several families consistently throughout high school, so I feel confident caring for children all ages. I was also a youth gymnastics coach for three years at UC Berkeley, so have experience creating a fun and positive environment while also prioritizing safety. I became EMT and BLS certified in 2022, so I am also able to respond to any health emergencies. Aside from childcare experience, I grew up with pets and have also house-sat for family and friends on many occasions, so am happy to help out with any of these tasks as well!

"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!"
