Novato
$30 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated TK Para with a strong professional background in healthcare and behavioral health. I thrive in supportive roles and believe in the power of nurturing environments. My passion truly lies in working with children, | absolutely love kids! This is fueled by my own experience as a mother to two wonderful boys, aged 5 and 14. Balancing the energy of a kindergartner with the curiosity of a teenager gives me unique perspective, patience, and enthusiasm that I bring into both my professional and personal life. I am committed to helping children learn, grow, and succeed! In addition to helping children learn and grow, I can help with light housework work as well as cook and meal preparation.

We’ve had such a great experience with Devon! She’s watched my 3-year-old a few times now for date nights, and each time my daughter has been comfortable, happy, and well cared for. The biggest compliment is that my daughter asked for her again, which says everything. Devon did art projects with my little one, and when we came home there was so much beautiful artwork they had created together. She also cooked my daughter’s dinner and cleaned up, which I truly appreciated. I felt completely at ease leaving my child in her care and would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a kind, engaging, and trustworthy babysitter.

$25 per hour for 1 child

I am a compassionate and dependable caregiver with one year of hands-on experience working with children with disabilities. As a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT), I am trained in implementing behavior intervention plans, supporting skill development, and creating structured, positive environments that help children thrive. My background has taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of individualized care. I have experience working closely with families, therapists, and other professionals to ensure consistent support and progress. Through my work, I’ve developed strong communication skills, the ability to remain calm under pressure, and a deep understanding of behavior management strategies. I am attentive, organized, and committed to maintaining a safe and nurturing environment. In addition to working with children, I am comfortable assisting with light household tasks to help families maintain a smooth daily routine. My goal as a caregiver is always to provide support that promotes independence, confidence, and overall well-being.
