Shirley 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lafayette, CA

Hi! My name is Shirley. I’m 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 family’s 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 child’s 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. I’m also the oldest of five siblings and have years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’m 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. I’d 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! — Shirley

“Shirley is incredible! Super professional and very charismatic! She knows exactly what she’s doing, would hire again!”

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 neighbors’ 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 – My name is Sefanit and I’m currently a college student. I am offering child care and household help for families who may need an extra hand. I enjoy spending time with children and have experience helping take care of my younger siblings and nephews. My responsibilities have included playing with them, helping with meals, keeping them engaged with activities, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I enjoy doing activities with kids such as drawing, reading stories, playing games, and spending time outside. I can also help with simple homework, basic cooking, and light household tasks. I can also braid hair and enjoy helping kids feel confident and comfortable. I like creating a calm and positive environment where children can have fun and feel supported.

Berenice $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a nurturing, patient, and reliable caregiver with over five years of experience working with children from infancy through school age. I began babysitting in high school and quickly discovered how fulfilling it is to support families and create a warm, positive environment for kids. I truly enjoy being part of their everyday growth whether it’s helping them learn something new, guiding them through emotions, or simply making their day brighter through engaging play. As a new mother myself, I have hands-on experience with infant care, including feeding, soothing, diapering, and maintaining healthy routines. Over the years, I have developed strong communication skills, a calm and gentle approach, and the ability to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. I am committed to providing safe, attentive, and loving care while supporting parents in any way I can, including light household tasks and maintaining consistent routines.
