Hi, I’m Ana! I’m a proud mother of three grown children and have dedicated the past 15 years to working in schools. Throughout my career, I’ve served as a campus monitor, instructional assistant, and currently as a paraprofessional, supporting and encouraging children ages 4–10. Outside of work, I enjoy creating art, solving puzzles. I love helping children learn and grow while bringing patience, creativity, and kindness to everything I do.

I’m a Transitional Kindergarten (TK) teacher with about a decade of early childhood education experience in the Bay Area. I work with 4-5 year olds every day, so I’m well-versed in age-appropriate activities, gentle behavior redirection, and keeping kids engaged and safe. I also pet sit and babysit on the side! I also have house cleaning and experience working at a dog boarding facility. I like to stay active, love music and spreading joy ! I

Hi there! I'm Itzell. I currently work full-time as a Registered Nurse, specializing in clinic telephone triage, and I am looking to provide caregiving services for some side income. I am available for both childcare and adult care. When it comes to babysitting, I have 2 years of formal, paid experience caring for younger family members. In addition to childcare, I am highly qualified to offer adult care services, drawing on my professional healthcare background. I worked for 3 dedicated years as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) before spending the last 3 years in my current practice as an RN. On a personal level, I am a very friendly, easygoing, and approachable person. I know how important it is to find the right caregiver for your loved ones, and I would love to meet up to see if we're a good fit for each other!

Hi there! I love children and believe that they are smarter than adults often give them credit for. I believe in creating a supportive, uplifting, and safe environment where kids can learn and grow. I love being silly with kiddos and learning with/from them. I am a mental health therapist working on building my private practice. I have a background in working with kids and babysitting kids as well. I have pets and can take care of them, plus do light household chores if needed. I have my own car and have a clean driving record. I would love to chat!

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
