Hi- my name is Danielle! I am a public school teacher of 4 years (3rd grade for 3, 2nd grade for 1). I’m looking to make some extra money on the side with house sitting, pet sitting, babysitting, or tutoring. I have a bachelors degree in Childhood Development, i have worked in a preschool as the head teacher and also in an after-school program with elementary aged kiddos, and also spent two years as a full time nanny to twins (3 yrs). I’m mostly looking for evening care jobs or weekends when my schedule permits. I have experience with tutoring elementary school aged kids as well as experience with special needs kids. I have a lot of pet sitting experience and have owned dogs/cats my entire life. I don’t have a ton of free time during weekdays but would be willing to work out check ins or walks if necessary. House sitting would be ideal for my schedule. I have housesat numerous times for family and friends in the past and would feel very comfortable if pets were there too!
“Danielle was great, super friendly and took care of our daughter. She did not shy away from toddler behaviors and jumped right in! ”

“My youngest has a new bestie apparently. Which is probably all that needs to be said. But also, on time, very professional, very focused on understanding what was needed for each of them. Instant addition to my "favorites" list.”

“This was the second time we booked Jackie and she’s just wonderful. Calm, caring, quick to respond to text messages, and she even did the dishes — which was absolutely not required, but very much appreciated. Thank you!”
Hi there! I'm Kira. I'm excited to meet you! I'm offering childcare and pet care for cats and dogs. I am a bay area native and have a certificate in Early Childhood Education. I was the lead teacher for a before and after school program in the San Mateo Foster City School District for years. Additionally, I have worked as a supervisor for K-6th grade summer camp as well as an assistant teacher in pre-school. I love arts and crafts, reading, being active outside, and making sure your little ones and fur babies are safe and happy. I've had both cats and dogs my whole life an love both! If you are looking for before school assistance, or a reliable sitter for your date night - I am here to help!
“Kira was wonderful with all of our kids! She was very engaging with our 4yo up to our 8yo. They loved reading with or to her and showing her all their toys. Kira supported dinner and bedtime like a pro. She redirected as needed and they listened super well to her. The kids are asking for her back. Would highly recommend! ”
Hi, my name is Raine! I’m 22 years old. I am currently enrolled in college (online) and will be transferring to UC Davis this fall. I love to babysit in my free time. I am studying to be a school psychologist and have a very strong passion for working with kids. I’d say I’m very experienced as I’ve had the chance to grow up learning and gaining experience in a classroom alongside my sister who has been a special education teacher for 15+ years. Also, since I was around 14 I’ve been known as the “babysitter” in my family. I’ve been watching my niece and nephew since they were newborns. Since then I’ve started babysitting independently for a few families I’ve met through my job. I also ran a “daycare” center at my job for over a year. I was in charge of children aged 2-13 for a few hours every Friday night. I am CPR certified as well. & I am also highly experienced in pet sitting and house sitting! I can assure you that your kids & or pets will be in great hands!
