Hi! I have several years of experience working with kids and currently work at an after-school program with children from TK through 6th grade. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children, helping with homework, planning activities, preparing snacks/meals, and keeping kids entertained and on a routine. I’m CPR/BLS certified and also have a background in healthcare. I’m patient, responsible, outgoing, and genuinely enjoy being around kids. I’m also comfortable with pets, driving to activities or school, and helping out with light household tasks when needed. I’d love to find a family I can build a comfortable and reliable relationship with!
I’m a grandma to 9 and I have adult children that I homeschooled. We live on a farm with lots of room to explore. I’m also an artist with extensive art supplies and opportunities to be creative.
My name is Niki, and I recently graduated chiropractic school ( LCCW in Hayward CA ) I am currently studying for my board exams. While preparing for boards, I’m looking for a way to help cover some living expenses and exam costs, so I’d love to offer babysitting/childcare services to local families. I worked at Mckinley elementary school in Castro st. for 2 years. I used to teach math elementary level math (4th and 5th at elementary school).Also I have 6 years of child care experience with college Nannie’s Co. I also Speak Farsi if you need tutoring for or you just need a farsi speaking sitter. -CPR certified -First aid training -Trustline certified in CA -ECE (early childhood development) -Pediaric care provider
I am a nurturing, patient, and reliable caregiver with over five years of experience working with children from infancy through school age. I began babysitting in high school and quickly discovered how fulfilling it is to support families and create a warm, positive environment for kids. I truly enjoy being part of their everyday growth whether it’s helping them learn something new, guiding them through emotions, or simply making their day brighter through engaging play. As a new mother myself, I have hands-on experience with infant care, including feeding, soothing, diapering, and maintaining healthy routines. Over the years, I have developed strong communication skills, a calm and gentle approach, and the ability to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. I am committed to providing safe, attentive, and loving care while supporting parents in any way I can, including light household tasks and maintaining consistent routines.
Here is a little bit about me, Had experience of babysitting and tutoring kids from age range of 6 - 12 years when I was in college. Have Knowledge in basic child safety, hygiene I am very observant and attentive, ensuring children’s safety and emotional comfort. Most importantly caring for kids brings me so much joy — I truly enjoy being part of their learning and development.
