Hi! I’m Charis (pronounced “kuh-reese”) I am a career nanny/family assistant of 10 years. I’m down to earth and can be pretty silly but I’m also responsible and I take my job seriously. I have seven younger siblings and I myself am a mother of 4 young children. I have done a lot of volunteer work with children in my youth like, being an AWANA leader, teaching Sunday school class, and leading the children's singing program at my then local church. I know how important it is to care for these little ones and I do my best to make the family I work for feel comfortable and safe leaving their children with me.

Hello — my name is Melissa! I am offering occasional child care. I’m happy to cover date nights, school or work events, or times you just need to focus on something else. I am a former elementary school teacher (and current medical assistant) with interests in education/tutoring, reading, and spending time outdoors. I can often be found with my kindle by the lake or checking out an East Bay coffee shop. My subject matter expertise while teaching was math and science for elementary students, but I have worked with children as young as infants up through high school age. I started babysitting and tutoring when I was in middle school and have worked with children throughout college and my career. If you think I might be a good fit for you, feel free to send me a message. Looking forward to connecting!

“Melissa was great - attentive, fun, and positive. Our kids loved having her stay with them!”
