Booked by 9 families in Berkeley, CA

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! ”

Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, CA

My name is Rocio. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have over 15 years of experience working with children of all ages. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified and can provide excellent references upon request. Caring for children has always been my passion. Throughout my career, I have worked in both professional educational settings and as a nanny, helping children grow, learn, and feel safe and supported. I pride myself on building strong, trusting relationships with children and their families. Many of the children I have cared for have remained an important part of my life, and I am honored by the bonds we have created over the years. Families describe me as nurturing, reliable, patient, energetic, and highly engaging. I love creating fun, meaningful experiences for children while also providing structure, consistency, and encouragement. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, exploring outdoors, or simply being a trusted adult in a child’s life, I genuinely love what I do. In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my dog, spending time with family, and being outdoors. I am outgoing, cheerful, and bring positive energy wherever I go.

“Our kids ask Rocio to come back every day. That tells one a lot - kids are picky (at least mine 3&5 year old)”
