Hi families! My name is Makena, and I'm a 20-year-old student at the University of Kentucky originally from San Ramon, California and will be in San Ramon for the summer. I've always enjoyed working with kids and have experience babysitting, including caring for a 10-year-old boy over the summer, experience as a summer camp counselor, and helped as an assistant cheer coach for the summer at California high school. During my time babysitting, I helped with meals, transportation, activities, and making sure he had a fun and safe time. I'm also comfortable caring for pets and have experience with both cats and dogs. As a former Division I athlete and lifelong cheerleader, I'm energetic, patient, good under pressure, and love to stay active. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and judgement free environment where they can feel comfortable and have fun. I have my own car and am happy to help with pick-ups, drop-offs, and other tasks as needed. My goal is to be someone both kids and parents can trust, and I would love the opportunity to get to know your family!
Hi! I’m Coni, I’m from Argentina and I’m a primary school teacher, with about 3 years of experience teaching back home. I’ve also spent more than 5 years taking care of kids of all ages, from babies to older kids, and I really enjoy being around them. I’m very comfortable driving kids around, like school drop-offs, activities, playdates, and helping keep their routines on track. I also help with homework and anything they need during the day. I enjoy spending time with kids through activities like arts and crafts, music, playing, and outdoor time. I like to keep things fun but also meaningful, helping them learn, be creative, and feel comfortable and safe. I’m also happy to help with light household stuff like preparing meals for the kids, tidying up, or running errands if needed. I love animals and grew up with them, so I’m totally comfortable around pets too. I’m responsible, patient, easygoing, and I speak both Spanish and English. Looking forward to meeting you!

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kinga for the past three years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly responsible, kind, and truly understands how to care for and manage children in a thoughtful, structured way. She communicates clearly and speaks perfect English, which has been especially helpful for both day-to-day coordination and supporting my children’s learning. She’s also been a huge asset academically—able to assist with tutoring and reinforce good study habits. What really sets her apart is her ability to balance warmth with structure. She knows how to set appropriate boundaries while still creating a positive, supportive environment where kids feel safe and cared for. She’s reliable, drives, and is always punctual and professional. Any family would be lucky to have her.”

"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!"
