Nazrin $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nazrin. I’m a lab manager for the Dunn Lab at UCSF Mission Bay. I love working with kids so I also work part-time at Christ Church East Bay. With a background in science, I enjoy tutoring and reading with children to support their vocabulary and development. I have experience caring for school-aged kids, pre-school, and toddlers. I’d be more than happy to look after younger children as well if given a chance/training. I’m reliable, patient, and always strive to create a safe and positive environment where kids can learn and have fun!

Kaylee $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong caregiving background shaped by years of hands-on experience with children, seniors, and pets. I grew up helping care for my younger sister, who is now 17, as well as several younger cousins, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a safe, fun environment for kids of different ages. I also have experience in senior care, most meaningfully, I cared for my great-grandpa when he was 92. Supporting him with daily tasks, companionship, and mobility needs, helped me develop empathy, attentiveness, and the ability to stay calm and supportive in sensitive situations. I am also very comfortable with pets. I have two cats and a dog of my own, so I am used to feeding schedules, walks, and playtime. and managing different personalities and energy levels. Overall, I am reliable, compassionate, and easy to communicate with. I am naturally patient detail detail-oriented, and respectful of family routines. whether it is helping with kids, seniors, pets, or household tasks. I bring a positive attitude to caregiving for every role.

I strive to create a supportive, patient, and engaging environment tailored to each child's needs. Whether it's helping with schoolwork, planning creative activities, or providing a calm and structured routine, I'm here to support your family. I am happy to assist with light housekeeping or meal prep. I'm committed to providing compassionate and reliable care! Some background about me: I am a recent UC Berkeley grad and am currently taking some courses before applying to medical school where I will aim to become a pediatrician.
