Ally 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Brandeis, CA

Hi! My name is Ally 😊 I recently graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a degree in Psychology, and I bring over a year and a half of full-time experience as an Assistant Daycare Teacher. That role strengthened my skills in child development, behavior guidance, structured learning, and creating safe, engaging environments for children of all ages. Prior to that, I worked as a tutor, babysitter, and provided private youth soccer training, giving me a well-rounded background in both academic and active enrichment. I currently hold a Level 3 Early Childhood Professional Credential and am certified in First Aid, CPR, and AED. Safety is always my top priority, but I also love creating fun, educational, and fulfilling experiences that help kids feel confident and supported. Outside of childcare, I love staying active, being outdoors, and being around family and friends. I am also currently pursuing my certification in personal training, nutrition, and women's health and fitness! I look forward to connecting with families and becoming someone your children feel excited to see!

Sophia $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Sophia, a Social Work student with hands-on experience caring for children from infants to teens, including current work as an after-school program teacher and previous experience in daycare settings. I’m CPR certified, extremely reliable, and have a warm, patient, and emotionally supportive approach with children of all ages. I’ve also assisted with companion care for individuals with developmental delays, providing medication reminders, errands, and uplifting daily support. I’m a huge animal lover with professional experience in dog daycare environments, pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for a wide range of pets — including cats, dogs, small animals, and reptiles. Additionally, I enjoy organization, household maintenance, event planning, and helping families stay on track with daily routines. I can also help as a personal assistant. I’m flexible, friendly, and genuinely love making life easier, happier, and more comfortable for the people and families I work with.

Aloha

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Brandeis, CA

Hello, My name is Aloha, I'm 24 years old, and I'm currently an au pair for a family of three children, ages 7, 14, and 17. The 14-year-old is autistic, so I'm able to look after a child with a mild disability. I'm French but I speak good English. In France, I also looked after children between the ages of 3 and 6. I've also looked after toddlers a few times, so I'm able to do so with clear instructions about their needs. I am offering child care, pets care, and household services. I can cook, drive to appointments, or other tasks. Looking forward to helping you :)
