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.
Hello, my name is Darcy! As the eldest sibling and cousin in my family, caring for children has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began babysitting at age 12 and have spent many years supporting children of all ages through both childcare and professional work. For the past 10 years, I have worked as a board-certified music therapist, helping children grow, learn, communicate, and build confidence in a variety of settings. I am also currently completing a graduate degree in Counseling Psychology, which has further strengthened my understanding of child development and emotional well-being. I have been described by the families I have worked with as a fun, creative, and energetic caregiver who loves arts and crafts, music, imaginative play, baking, games, and outdoor adventures. I enjoy finding activities that match each child's unique interests and needs, helping them be active, supported, and excited to learn and explore. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel engaged and parents feel confident that their children are in good hands. Please feel free to reach out and let me know how I can support your family!
About Me I have 5 years of experience working with children, including after-school programs where I supported students with activities, learning, and development. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and very patient when helping children or families learn new skills. I have built great relationships with the families I’ve worked with and always strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children. Outside of work, I love to dance, work out, ride my bike, bake, cook, and take walks with my dog.
“We had a wonderful experience with Diana! She took amazing care of our 5-year-old, handling the entire bedtime routine, putting our child to bed, and even feeding our dog. She is incredibly sweet, patient, and caring. Our child absolutely loves her and always looks forward to seeing her. Her bedtime routine is amazing: calm, organized, and comforting, which made evenings so much easier for us as parents. A huge plus for our family is that Diana speaks Spanish, which has been wonderful since our child is learning the language. We really appreciated the extra exposure and encouragement in such a natural way. We always felt confident leaving our child in her care and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and loving babysitter. We will book her again for sure. Thank so much Diana!”
Hi, I’m Tori! So lovely to connect. A little about my experience: I have 4 years of nannying experience with the same family - two kids under 11 (7-11). The kids had packed schedules (a more robust social calendar than I) and I loved helping them hone their talents, taking them to and from activities, and helping with homework. I find it fun and energizing to play and listen to and create with the kids. I also have 3 nephews ages 1, 3, & 5 and I’ve babysat them their whole lives. I’m comfortable with babies, toddlers and kid age. A little about myself: I’m from Phoenix, Arizona. I’ve been living in the bay for 7 years now since graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill. I have a Bachelors degree in Biology & Psychology with a focus on child development. In my free time I like to do pottery, hike, and swim in the bay. I love pups - please let me pet your dog! I can’t wait to meet your family!

"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!"
