Hello, my name is Kathryn! I'm a Mental Health Counselor at an elementary school in Oakland where I provide trauma-focused therapy. I completed my Master of Social Work at NYU in 2022, and prior to grad school, I was a kindergarten teacher for 7 years. I love exploring and learning with kids, and my teaching experience was focused on combining social and emotional wellness with project-based, exploratory learning. I am patient and love having fun with kids, but am also confident in setting clear boundaries and expectations that ensure safety and comfort are always the top priorities. I've worked extensively with children and adults with special needs as well, and am comfortable communicating in various ways to suit individual styles and abilities. I play the harp in my free time and am passionate about fostering creativity through music and art with young children. I also love being outdoors and led a nature club at school for a number of years, so I'm always looking for opportunities for kids to be scientists and learn from the world around them.
Hey šš½ Iām Devin, a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with a unique background that blends professional leadership and hands-on childcare experience. Iāve spent the past few months coaching middle school basketball, where I mentor 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade girls and help them build confidence, teamwork, and resilience. Before that, I honed my leadership and organizational skills over 9.5 years in the tech industry as a Product Support and Customer Care Manager. In addition to my professional experience, Iāve spent over four years as a Camp Coach and Gym Director at Legarza Sports Camps, working with children of all ages to foster their growth and development in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I was also the JV Head Coach at Marin Catholic High School for two years, further solidifying my ability to connect with kids and teens while encouraging them to reach their full potential. Beyond my formal roles, Iām often the go-to babysitter for friends and family, caring for children from infancy to their teenage years. I bring a warm, caring, and engaging personality that puts people of all ages at ease, so much so that even strangers feel comfortable sharing their stories with me. Whether working with kids, teens, or seniors, I approach caregiving with empathy, patience, and a sense of fun. I love creating meaningful connections and tailoring my approach to meet each individualās unique needs. From planning engaging activities for children to offering companionship and support to seniors, I take pride in making those I care for feel valued and comfortable. I bring a diverse set of skills, including cooking, cleaning, basketball training, and even website consulting, but Iām always open to discussing and adapting to meet the unique needs of your loved ones. If youāre looking for someone who combines reliability, kindness, and a natural ability to connect, Iād be honored to help care for your loved ones š¤
āDevin was excellent. She was a great communicator and the kids were drawn to her from the moment they met her. She ensured they cleaned up all their stuff as we asked so when we returned we had sleeping children and a spotless house. We will definitely be having her back again soon! ā
Hi! My name is Phia and I would be happy to work with you. I have been working with children professionally since I was 16 but babysat before then. I have worked with children of varying ages, from infants 3 months and older, toddlers, elementary age, all the way up to young teenagers preparing for high school. I graduated from the University of San Francisco with a BA in sociology in May 2022. I now work as a project coordinator supervising youth development and policy at a local non-profit. I still work with babysitting families 1-2 times a week. In the Bay Area, I have worked as an after-school program leader for the YMCA in SFUSD, as well as a classroom aid. Beyond this, I have worked as an interim babysitter and nanny for various families before and during the pandemic. Through my time with the YMCA and other organizations, I have been trained in childhood development and creative education. I enjoy working with kids because it helps me keep in tune with my ability to empathize and stay creative. Children are the expression of a community, so staying in tune with the needs and experiences of youth is better for the community as a whole. Booking and payment policy: Same day cancellation, if you cancel within 4 hours of the booking start time, you are agreeing to pay me 1/2 of lost wages.
āPhia is so great with my kids! She and my toddler especially get along great, and she does an awesome job playing with him. Highly recommend.ā
