Hello Families! I'm Natalia, I'm thrilled to introduce myself to you. With three children of my own, I have a deep love for working with kids and ensuring top-notch care. My interests span a wide range, from reading books, singing, and crafting, to face painting, playing ,engaging in sports, and dancing. I'm passionate about following children's lead and fostering their imaginations. In addition to nurturing children, I'm here to lend a hand to parents with household chores. With 16 years of experience working with children of various ages and a decade specializing in infants and toddlers, I'm confident in my role as a dedicated caregiver. References from families in the Bay Area can vouch for my commitment and skills. I'm bilingual, a creative spirit, and known for my positive and cheerful personality. Safety is paramount, and I hold CPR training and have received COVID-related vaccinations. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I'm excited about the opportunity to collaborate with you and build strong relationships with parents and their families for future occasions. Plus, I offer face painting services for those special moments! š Once again, thank you for considering me, and I look forward to connecting with you soon!ā¤ļø
āNatalia was a fantastic sitter for my 6 year old twins. She has a lot of energy and so many ideas for games to play and crafts to make. She kept them busy all day, both at home and at the nearby playground. We will definitely hire her again! ā
| Bilingual in Spanish and have a car | Hi, there! Iām Zulma. I am offering childcare and household services. I grew up being the baby of my family until high school when my little sibling was born. Afterwards, my oldest sibling had my niece and nephew, so I started taking care of and watching over younger ones since I was 15. I currently work full-time in the non-profit sector. I was previously working in the youth sector in the East Coast and miss my kiddos! I have experience running fun events, tutoring & mentoring, driving to/from locations, preparing meals for children, and many other responsibilities. I grew up with many cats throughout my childhood and currently have one of my own, so I am comfortable handling them. Additionally, I grew up helping my mom in her housecleaning job, so I always make sure to leave a place better than it was left. Open to chatting with folks. Thank you!
Hi! My name is Shirley. Iām a bilingual (English/Spanish) Registered Nurse based in Berkeley, offering dependable part-time, backup, and date-night childcare. As both a nurse and a mom to a 13-month-old, I understand how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your child. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment while following your familyās established routines and parenting preferences. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities that encourage learning through play, including library story times, outdoor adventures, sensory play, music, crafts, and trips to local parks and zoos. I believe in fostering independence, kindness, and confidence while supporting each childās social, emotional, and developmental growth. My background as a Registered Nurse, along with my BLS, ACLS, and Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP) certifications, allows me to provide an added level of safety and confidence for families. Iām also the oldest of five siblings and have years of experience caring for children of all ages. Iām available for occasional, recurring part-time, and backup care. My standard rate is $26/hour. For day time care and families who are comfortable with my well-socialized 13-month-old joining us, I offer a discounted rate of $24/hour, providing a wonderful opportunity for age-appropriate parallel play and social interaction. Iād love the opportunity to get to know your family and discuss how I can best support your childcare needs. I look forward to connecting with you! ā Shirley
āShirley is incredible! Super professional and very charismatic! She knows exactly what sheās doing, would hire again!ā
Hi, my name is Mya. I am a transfer student at UC Berkeley. I am offering child care, dog care and cat care. I had experiences with babysitting my neighborsā kids and my cousins since I was young and I really love children, dogs and cats. I can drive them to school/ pick them up from school, help them with homework, cooking for them, playing with them and take care of basic needs. For cats and dogs, I have four cats and a dog myself at home. I would love to take care of them. I can offer walking, feeding and playing with them.
Hi there! I love children and believe that they are smarter than adults often give them credit for. I believe in creating a supportive, uplifting, and safe environment where kids can learn and grow. I love being silly with kiddos and learning with/from them. I am a mental health therapist working on building my private practice. I have a background in working with kids and babysitting kids as well. I have pets and can take care of them, plus do light household chores if needed. I have my own car and have a clean driving record. I would love to chat!
