Cyrus $30 per hour for 1 child

Hiya!!!! My name is Ashé (Cyrus) 🤓👋🏾 I’m a calm caregiver with 2+ years of childcare experience with kiddos aged 3–14. I am certified in CPR + First Aid training for children, infants, and adults, Mandated Reporter certified, Registered Behavior Technician, and Physical Safety certified. I’ve got a background in theater so I love jumping into play! Making up stories, going with the flow, matching high energy, or calmly reading are all facets of the environments I like to create. My approach to childcare is compassion-based and neurodiversity-informed and I seek to ensure all kids under my care feel safe, understood, and engaged! Hope to talk soon and please let me know if there are any questions I could answer! 😁

Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, CA

Hello! My name is Leo (he/him) and I am a PsyD student in Berkeley. I used to work as a paraeducator for both OUSD and AUSD before I became a full time student! I am currently/consistently babysitting for a family with a 3 year old whose primary language is Japanese. Responsibilities also include driving their child (with family’s car) to gymnastics, bring him to the park, potty training, bathing, and putting him to bed/naptime. I’ve also worked with high schoolers for 3 years and have been working with elementary schoolers for a little over a year. All of my coworkers and students would probably describe me as patient, easy going, and someone who has a good sense of humor :) I have also previously been certified as an EMT and worked as a vet tech for many years so I’ve definitely got the range of skills!

“Leo is everything we need - always on time, thorough with questions and prep, and knows how to go with the flow on everything. Leo has done everything from playing and reading with our toddler indoors, taking him to the park and on walks in the neighborhood, bike rides, bathing and dinner time, all the way to putting him down at bedtime. Our toddler takes to Leo very quickly every time and we are so grateful!”

Hello, my name is Daniela. I am an experienced childcare provider. I work full time as a literacy teacher and as a 3rd grade afterschool teacher at a bilingual elementary school in SF. I have worked as an English teacher in Spain for the last two years, with students from Pre-K to high school. I enjoy working with all ages including middle schoolers. I love to craft, crochet, play sports, and go to the park when the weather permits. I teach chess, dance, and drama at my school so I enjoy fun table games and movement based activities. I speak multiple languages that being English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I work with students who are on the autism spectrum as well as students who have ADHD and work to accommodate all learning environments and help children build their behavioral skills in a kind way. I love what I do and very excited to work with you and your family! Please feel free to send me a message if you have any specific needs that you would like me to consider.

“Daniela was on time and very friendly. The kids enjoyed playing with her and she was very understanding when I ordered dinner late. Would hire again!”

Booked by 4 families in Berkeley, CA

Hello! I am Amanda and I am a social worker by day and looking to become a family's go to date night sitter. I have experience professionally in the field of social work with kiddos of all ages and developmental capabilities as well as experience as a nanny/ caregiver. I consider myself as playful and imaginative as a sitter usually playing with toys or outside games. I just became a verified children’s yoga instructor so I’m happy to do some fun age appropriate poses with your kids. I am very respectful of family schedules, routines, and helping kids feel as comfortable as possible while their parent(s) are away enjoying some much needed kid free time.

“Amanda was great! I’d recommend. ”
