Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, CA

I have 4 years of experience working in a daycare, caring for multiple children from 18 months to 5 years old. I also have experience caring for twins under 2, a 4-year-old boy, children with special needs, and infants from 4 months to 1.5 years old. I’m responsible, patient, and caring, and I really enjoy working with children and helping them learn and grow. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a confident swimmer, and a safe driver. I’m comfortable with daily routines, playtime, meals, bath time, and keeping children safe and engaged.

Dominique $30 per hour for 1 child

I recently moved back to the area and am seeking childcare opportunities. My ample experience with kids in both childcare settings and as a counselor make me uniquely qualified for any childcare position. I worked as a child trauma counselor for children of all ages for five years. This experience provided me with an astute ability to connect emotionally with children, understand their needs, and help them to feel safe. I have a Masters in Social Work and Bachelors in Psychology; and worked as a babysitter and nanny for various families while in school. While studying for my Bachelors, I worked at a daycare for four years. I have a year of experience providing behavioral therapy to children and teens with autism and/or developmental disabilities, in addition to caring for kids with special needs in nannying settings. I have adored developing strong bonds with children throughout my life.

Robyn $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi family! I have experience caring for infants and genuinely enjoy creating a calm, loving, and attentive environment for babies. I am also a student by night, enrolled in child development to learn more about the little ones and how to best care for them! I'm reliable, communicative, and comfortable with pets, and I'm happy to help with light baby-related tidying as needed. I'm CPR/First Aid trained (but would need to renew). I'd love the opportunity to connect and see if I'd be a good fit for your family.
