Hi - my name is Graciela and I’m currently a senior at UC Berkeley pursuing a microbial biology degree🐻. I enjoy working out, health, painting/drawing, hiking, soccer, and anything to do with arts&crafts (legos, building stuff etc) !! I am offering child care and housing services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching toddlers and kids since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included tutoring during summers, arts&crafts and personal care. I have experience working as a certified caregiver for seniors and willing to offer senior care services, if interested. I can cook, clean, and run errands. I am also happy to work with families with dogs. I also speak Spanish. Feel free to message me anytime! ☀️
“She was great with my toddler and preschooler!they loved her ”
Hello, I am married and a mother of two daughters, 26 and 31. My 26 year old works as an Events Specialist for TikTok in LA. ; my 31 year old is a Social Worker living in Oregon. I have a full time job working for a nonprofit, Monday-Friday from 8am - 5pm. I have free time in the week day evenings and some mornings on the weekend. I love being around kids and enjoy babysitting for family and friends. If I have any free time I enjoy reading & walking, and volunteering. I have my daughter’s dog Athena who is a sweet pup and we spend a lot of time on walks and playtime.
“Leticia was fantastic. My child had a lot of fun with her. I recommend her!”
Hello, I'm Stephany, a 28-year-old Brazilian living in the USA. I have a driver's license and am CPR certified, ensuring I'm prepared for emergencies. I also have my own car and a clean record. I'm patient, easygoing, and love spending time outdoors, whether it's walking, biking, or visiting parks. I have over five years of experience working with children. I used to work in a school back in Brazil, where I looked after more than 15 kids at a time. During the pandemic, I started caring for two children at my home. One was just 5 months old, and the other was 4 years old. I took care of them for a year and a half before moving to another country. In addition, I have two years of experience as an au pair, where I focused on studying behavior and discipline management, effective communication, child development, and time management. I'm passionate about caregiving because I find immense joy and fulfillment in nurturing and supporting others. Witnessing the growth and development of children is incredibly rewarding to me. I also love animals and have two dogs. Thank you for considering me.
Hello! My name is Mariana and I am 28 years old. I live I San Jose and have been working as a nanny in the Bay Area for the past 3 years. I first came to California as a live in nanny through the au pair program from Colombia. I have since attended San Jose city college to study the English language, in which I am fluent, along with my native language Spanish. Before that I went to school to become a preschool teacher. I am CPR certified, attentive and very responsible. I take my job very seriously and am always on time. I like to keep the children happy and active, through games, reading, going for walks, playing, etc. I am willing to do light cooking and cleaning when needed. I love working with children and have experience working with all ages. I look forward to hearing from you!
Hello! My name is Kelly, and I have experience with kids and pets! :) Please message me for additional availability as I work full time (11 AM - 8 PM) with semi flexible hours and am a fur mom. I can try to accommodate if noticed in advance. ***Note: I am only looking for occasional jobs*** PET CARE: I currently have 2 puppies and a cat at home (11 month old maltipoo, 11 month old domestic shorthair, and 6 month old mini aussie). All three are extremely sociable and friendly towards other animals. We currently live in an apartment, but do our best to make up for the lack of a backyard by taking them to the dog park, on drives, play dates, and giving them enrichment toys! CHILDCARE: I have mostly worked with ages 4-12 prior to COVID-19. However, I have worked with younger ages and am comfortable with them. In all 4 years of my high school career, I taught children from 2nd grade to 11th grade, so I am also able to help with any homework necessary! With that being said, I have experience in breaking the ice with children slowly to gain their trust, as well as yours as a parent. As a person, I am extremely cautious and aware of my surroundings, so I will always assure that your child(ren)’s safety comes first. I look forward to meeting you and your family and to also help you in anyway that I can!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
