Jessica $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi❣️ I hope you are well! 💐 My name is Jessica. I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced childcare provider with a B.S. in Psychology and Child Development from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I previously studied finance and engineering before realizing that my heart and strengths are truly in working with children and supporting families! 💗 I’ve worked with children for many years in both private family and school settings, including as a nanny and babysitter. I also spent a year as a program coordinator at Cove Elementary, leading enrichment programs for K-4 students in everything from financial literacy and sewing to gardening, circuits, and hands-on creative projects. I genuinely love working with children of all ages, with an especially natural connection to ages 1-5! I love creating a warm, engaging environment through outdoor adventures, imaginative play, reading, creative activities, and developmentally appropriate learning with no screen time. What I value most is becoming someone a family can truly rely on. I care deeply about the children I work with, and find a real sense of purpose in supporting the whole family system, not simply providing childcare. I’m happy to help with meal preparation, outings, errands, light household tasks, and keeping things organized :) I’m CPR, First Aid, and AED certified and take safety, reliability, and communication seriously. I especially love building lasting relationships with families and would be thrilled to connect with a family looking for consistent, recurring care! Hope to meet you 💌

Diana 1 review
$37 per hour for 1 child

About Me I have 5 years of experience working with children, including after-school programs where I supported students with activities, learning, and development. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and very patient when helping children or families learn new skills. I have built great relationships with the families I’ve worked with and always strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children. Outside of work, I love to dance, work out, ride my bike, bake, cook, and take walks with my dog.

“We had a wonderful experience with Diana! She took amazing care of our 5-year-old, handling the entire bedtime routine, putting our child to bed, and even feeding our dog. She is incredibly sweet, patient, and caring. Our child absolutely loves her and always looks forward to seeing her. Her bedtime routine is amazing: calm, organized, and comforting, which made evenings so much easier for us as parents. A huge plus for our family is that Diana speaks Spanish, which has been wonderful since our child is learning the language. We really appreciated the extra exposure and encouragement in such a natural way. We always felt confident leaving our child in her care and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and loving babysitter. We will book her again for sure. Thank so much Diana!”

Melissa $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Melissa, and I am a Biology (Pre-Med) student at Dominican University of California. Caring for others has always been an important part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy helping people of all ages feel safe, supported, and cared for. I have over 7 years of childcare experience through babysitting family members, friends' children, and helping care for my younger siblings. I have experience with children ranging from newborns to teenagers and am comfortable assisting with bottle preparation, feeding, diaper changes, meal preparation, homework help, bedtime routines, and engaging children in fun and educational activities. I enjoy building positive relationships with children and creating an environment where they feel comfortable, encouraged, and valued. In addition to childcare, I currently work as a caregiver for older adults through CareYaya. In this role, I provide companionship and support to seniors experiencing dementia, memory loss, visual impairments, mobility limitations, and other age-related challenges. My responsibilities include meal preparation, light housekeeping, mobility assistance, safety supervision, companionship, and helping clients maintain their daily routines. This experience has strengthened my patience, communication skills, responsibility, and ability to remain calm and compassionate in a variety of situations. I am also a huge animal lover and have a cat of my own. Pets have always been an important part of my life, and I am comfortable caring for cats, dogs, and other household pets. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or simply providing companionship. So I can assure you, your pets will be deeply cared for with me. Families often describe me as kind, dependable, patient, and attentive. I understand the trust that comes with caring for a child, senior, or pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to provide a safe, positive, and supportive environment while giving families peace of mind that their loved ones are in good hands. I look forward to meeting new families and providing whatever help I can. Digital Portfolio: [removed]

"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!"
