Jane was a fabulous caregiver to my 2.5 year old son! We hired Jane to watch our son for 1.5 weeks (M-F) while his preschool was on a break, and we couldn't recommend her enough! She was attentive, punctual, kind, and high energy, taking our son on all sorts of outings, from the zoo to museums. She also tidied up around the kitchen/playroom while he was taking his nap. We will definitely be working with Jane again!

Hello — my name is Melissa! I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I am a former elementary school teacher with interests in education/tutoring, reading, and spending time outdoors. My subject matter expertise while teaching was math and science for elementary students, but I have worked with children as young as toddlers 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. I am also offering household services such as laundry, house sitting, and pet care.

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

Hello, I’m Mercedes! It’s a pleasure to connect with you. I was born and raised in Oakland, CA. I am Montessori trained for ages 0–6, including Early Childhood Education. I work part-time in a preschool environment and am comfortable with a wide range of age groups. I focus on creating a positive and supportive environment through meaningful activities — arts and crafts, outdoor play, books, and creative projects. I pride myself on being reliable and fully present with each child I care for, approaching every task with enthusiasm and dedication. I am also fully CPR/First Aid certified and prioritize health and safety in every aspect of my work. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me, and I look forward to the possibility of working with your family! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Have a wonderful day!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Mercedes was so great with our daughter. She had such good instincts around developmental play and was extremely comfortable and took charge from the first moment she arrived. Would definitely recommend and will book in the future!

Hey there! Thank you for taking the time to view my Profile! I am an experienced Nanny and Family Assistant. I graduated high school at the Las Vegas Academy of Performing and Visual Arts majoring in Voice Performance, and continued my education at AAU in San Francisco. I love singing and introducing kids to music and artistry. I also love nature and exploring! I have extensive childcare experience. Having 14 siblings, of which I am the oldest, I am very comfortable caring for children! I have been in the field of childcare for 15+ years, and are knowledgeable of infants and children of all ages. I really enjoy watching kiddos grow into amazing, independent people! I enjoy bike riding, skateboarding, trips to the park, and all things active; reading books, teaching signs, expressing emotion and life skills! Keeping the mind open and juices flowing is a must, especially for young growing minds! I look forward to hearing from you soon, Lovedia Doss My Policies: Please notify me if your children are sick, or if you have any pets (so that I am prepared). I require payment for ALL hours booked. Late arrivals without prior knowledge or approval are charged at 1.5x rate.

Lovedia was awesome! She took care of three under three for an evening with zero issues! Would definitely recommend.

Hi, my name is Theresa! I’m an artist, violinist, psychology undergrad, and aspiring marriage and family therapist. I’ve been: • Babysitting for four years with ALL ages, infants and older! • A reading mentor to develop reading skills in younger children • A behavioral therapist/counselor who works with neurodivergent youth • An assistant/helper doing chores and other tasks • A pet sitter for both dogs and cats CPR/BLS certified with American Heart Association. Clean driving record and owns a car. Fully vaccinated and will wear a mask if necessary! Can provide recommendations. I’m an easygoing, gentle, and kind person. I have a very calm demeanor. I’m extremely patient with kids and really do love them, despite the challenges that can come with babysitting. They’re so sweet, and never fail to make me laugh or smile. My favorite things to do with kids are: • Outings • Drawing • Reading • Games (i love minecraft and a lot of nintendo games) • Naps (who doesn’t like nap time?)

Our 15 month old took to Theresa very quickly! She read with him and they played together while they got comfortable and then they did the whole bedtime routine. She was conscientious about safety, following our house guidelines and routine, and very sweet with him. We look forward to having her back.
