My name is Nadia! I’m a babysitter with experience caring for children ages 2-12. I believe in the importance of listening and talking to children, without talking “down” to them. My warm and communicative approach creates positive experiences for the kids and cooperative care-taking relationships. That’s why when I worked at a summer day-camp for 4-11yo children learning English in my hometown, there was popular demand from children and their parents for me to be on-site every day. I helped ease children’s separation anxiety and made them feel comfortable and confident in an unfamiliar environment. Originally scheduled to work just 4 days over the summer, I ended up as a full-time aide. Some of my favorite activities to do with kids are baking and reading stories. I also have a good track record of getting children involved in simple, age-appropriate chores (e.g., making the bed) in a way that feels fun. I can provide references, including from parents who can attest to my ability to care for multiple kids at once. I also have extensive teaching and tutoring experience, and would be happy to provide homework help: - I have experience tutoring pre-k, elementary school, and high school students in reading, math, and test prep. - I have two years of experience as an instructor at UC Berkeley, and another three years of experience mentoring college students. - I speak English, French, Arabic, and a bit of Spanish. I love to encourage children’s multilingualism and can help with foreign language homework. I’m confident with preparing meals and snacks. I previously was a head chef at a student co-op, where my dinners got rave reviews. I still get recipe requests from former co-opers (especially my hummus recipe!). I’m happy to bring these skills to your children’s snack time. I try to incorporate learning experiences into my caregiving, and I especially enjoy working with families who value curiosity and learning. I was a National Merit Scholar in undergrad, and I recently graduated with my PhD in a social science discipline from UC Berkeley. I have a full time job scheduled to start in 2027. Until then, you can hire a (non-medical) doctor for a discount.

Hi! My name is Melissa, and I am a Biology (Pre-Med) student at Dominican University of California. Caring for others has always been an important part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy helping people of all ages feel safe, supported, and cared for. I have over 7 years of childcare experience through babysitting family members, friends' children, and helping care for my younger siblings. I have experience with children ranging from newborns to teenagers and am comfortable assisting with bottle preparation, feeding, diaper changes, meal preparation, homework help, bedtime routines, and engaging children in fun and educational activities. I enjoy building positive relationships with children and creating an environment where they feel comfortable, encouraged, and valued. In addition to childcare, I currently work as a caregiver for older adults through CareYaya. In this role, I provide companionship and support to seniors experiencing dementia, memory loss, visual impairments, mobility limitations, and other age-related challenges. My responsibilities include meal preparation, light housekeeping, mobility assistance, safety supervision, companionship, and helping clients maintain their daily routines. This experience has strengthened my patience, communication skills, responsibility, and ability to remain calm and compassionate in a variety of situations. I am also a huge animal lover and have a cat of my own. Pets have always been an important part of my life, and I am comfortable caring for cats, dogs, and other household pets. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or simply providing companionship. So I can assure you, your pets will be deeply cared for with me. Families often describe me as kind, dependable, patient, and attentive. I understand the trust that comes with caring for a child, senior, or pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to provide a safe, positive, and supportive environment while giving families peace of mind that their loved ones are in good hands. I look forward to meeting new families and providing whatever help I can. Digital Portfolio: [removed]

About Me I have 5 years of experience working with children, including after-school programs where I supported students with activities, learning, and development. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and very patient when helping children or families learn new skills. I have built great relationships with the families I’ve worked with and always strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children. Outside of work, I love to dance, work out, ride my bike, bake, cook, and take walks with my dog.

I studied Engineering at San José State University and have several years of experience working with children. I worked as an after-school STEM Educator in the Santa Clara School District at an elementary school, where I taught kids basic engineering concepts through hands-on activities, building projects, and problem-solving exercises. I enjoyed making learning fun while helping students develop creativity, teamwork, and confidence. I also worked as a YMCA instructor, teaching children basketball and soccer. I’m patient, responsible, energetic, and enjoy creating a safe and positive environment where kids can learn and have fun.
