Selen $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Selen and I live with my partner Joey and our dog Lulu in the Oakland Hills! We have 8 chickens and 6 quails and I love taking care of all of our animals. I have a 2 year old nephew in Oakland, and I've gained a lot of experience being an active auntie in his life (he also loves my dog Lulu). I'm currently in school for my master's in social work at Samuel Merritt University and looking for part-time work helping families in the neighborhood with their kids, pets, and any other caretaking. I'm super friendly, compassionate and would love to help out in any way I can.

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.

Muwazu $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Muwazu and I am a graduate from Mills College at Northeastern University and a current college advisor through UC Berkeley. I have over a decade of experience working with children ages 3-14. Some of my responsibilities included tutoring, bed time routines, carpool/drop-offs, crafts, music instruction, and skating lessons. Over the last 8 years I've had experience in various afterschool programs in Oakland and Berkeley. I was employed as a teacher’s aid in several elementary schools including: Washington Elementary, Mills College Childrens school, and Fruitvale Elementary. I am offering childcare, pet care, and senior support. Child care: I love spending time with kids and getting to know their unique personalities. I have dedicated my degree and career to supporting children’s growth and creating environments that encourages education. I want to be a reliable helping hand and friend of the family. Senior care: I appreciate all members of the family and the community. I understand the importance of punctuality and dependability. Pet care: I have sat (short term and long term) for families with multiple dogs and animals like bearded dragons, snakes, birds, and gerbils. I am comfortable with larger animals as well and can maintain routines with them.

"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!"
