Gabrielle $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi families, My name is Gabrielle and I am a current master’s student at CSU East Bay in the School Psychology Program. I graduated from UCLA with a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a minor in Applied Development Psychology where I also interned at the UCLA Infant Development Program. In this role I cared for children three months to three years old, while taking courses focused on child development that could be directly applied in a high-quality early childhood education setting. My values and training are rooted in developmentally-appropriate and child-centered practices, where I truly believe in fostering child autonomy. With robust training in child development, I am willing and able to implement any routines and strategies you may already have with your children. I have a long history of caring for children starting in 2015 when I was in high school working in a home day care, babysitting for family members, and serving as a regular sitter for two families in Los Angeles 2[removed]. My more recent roles have been largely clinical or mental-health focused. I spent two years working as a clinic coordinator at a UCLA Health autism clinic and most recently worked at an elementary school supporting Tk-6th grade students with social-emotional learning. Generally, I am a fun-loving, optimistic, and ambitious individual. In my free time I enjoy cooking, baking, thrifting for things to decorate my new apartment, and hiking / being outdoors. I am a full-time student and work two full days at an elementary site so evening and weekend babysitting works best for me. I would be happy to connect at a play date, park, or library, etc., to see if I might be a good match for you and your family! Certifications / Clearance: - Minor in applied developmental psychology (completed 300 hour internship at Megan E. Daly Infant Development Program) - California Certificate of Clearance (required by CA public schools & includes a Department of Justice Background Check) - Infant / Child CPR First Aid Certified (2022), online renewed 2026 - Tuberculosis negative (tested 2025) - Up to date on vaccines

Cori $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello It’s lovely to meet you! My name is Cori Williams, I have nearly 20 years of experience working with children in the Bay Area. My journey working with children started when I was very young. I started a babysitting business in my neighborhood by going door to door as a pre teen to offer my services. I later got myself CPR and AED certified through my work as a swim instructor and lifeguard, where I spent several years teaching infants and toddlers how to swim and building strong safety skills around water safety and swim team training. After seven years working as a full-time lifeguard and swim instructor, I transitioned into full-time nannying and have since worked closely with several families providing dependable, long-term childcare. I have spent years studying early childhood education and child psychology, and I am currently continuing my education to further deepen my understanding of child development. I am especially passionate about supporting children with diverse developmental needs. Throughout my career I have worked with children with ADHD, autism, behavioral challenges, Down syndrome, and other special care needs. I approach each child with patience, compassion, and an individualized approach that supports their emotional development, confidence, and independence. I strongly believe in gentle parenting practices that prioritize communication, emotional awareness, and respect for children as individuals. A Montessori style of parenting. I focus on creating engaging and enriching environments where children feel safe to express themselves, explore their interests, and grow at their own pace. In addition to childcare, I can also assist families with light household support, meal preparation, organization, school pickups, activity planning, and creating fun educational experiences for children. Outside of work, I enjoy studying child. psychology, holistic living, and creative activities such as art. My long-term goal is to continue my education and eventually work in behavioral therapy supporting children with special needs. I have a clean driving record and can provide strong references upon request. Thank you for your time and consideration! I look forward to meeting with you. Best, Cori Williams 1(916) 500 - 9739
