Nazrin $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nazrin. I’m a lab manager for the Dunn Lab at UCSF Mission Bay. I love working with kids so I also work part-time at Christ Church East Bay. With a background in science, I enjoy tutoring and reading with children to support their vocabulary and development. I have experience caring for school-aged kids, pre-school, and toddlers. I’d be more than happy to look after younger children as well if given a chance/training. I’m reliable, patient, and always strive to create a safe and positive environment where kids can learn and have fun!

Kaylee $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong caregiving background shaped by years of hands-on experience with children, seniors, and pets. I grew up helping care for my younger sister, who is now 17, as well as several younger cousins, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a safe, fun environment for kids of different ages. I also have experience in senior care, most meaningfully, I cared for my great-grandpa when he was 92. Supporting him with daily tasks, companionship, and mobility needs, helped me develop empathy, attentiveness, and the ability to stay calm and supportive in sensitive situations. I am also very comfortable with pets. I have two cats and a dog of my own, so I am used to feeding schedules, walks, and playtime. and managing different personalities and energy levels. Overall, I am reliable, compassionate, and easy to communicate with. I am naturally patient detail detail-oriented, and respectful of family routines. whether it is helping with kids, seniors, pets, or household tasks. I bring a positive attitude to caregiving for every role.

I am an experienced and caring babysitter, as well as a mom myself. Being a parent has given me hands-on experience in caring for children, understanding their individual needs, and creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. I am patient, responsible, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with children. I am comfortable helping with meals, playtime, bedtime routines, homework, and everyday childcare needs.

Itzell $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm Itzell. I currently work full-time as a Registered Nurse, specializing in clinic telephone triage, and I am looking to provide caregiving services for some side income. I am available for both childcare and adult care. When it comes to babysitting, I have 2 years of formal, paid experience caring for younger family members. In addition to childcare, I am highly qualified to offer adult care services, drawing on my professional healthcare background. I worked for 3 dedicated years as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) before spending the last 3 years in my current practice as an RN. On a personal level, I am a very friendly, easygoing, and approachable person. I know how important it is to find the right caregiver for your loved ones, and I would love to meet up to see if we're a good fit for each other!

"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!"
