Hello! My name is Liz. I have an 18 year old daughter who is at college out of state. I work at a surgical center Monday through Friday and I specialize in patient care. Now that my own daughter is away at college, I have a lot of free time on weekends. I have experience caring for young children and babies through babysitting for friends and family. I love spending time with children because it brings back wonderful memories and experiences with my own daughter.
Hi - my name is Emma. I have a full time job as a paralegal in San Francisco but am looking to work part time to fill my free time. I am available for child care, senior care, pet sitting or general household help. Child care experience: I grew up babysitting my three younger siblings and four younger cousins. I have also tutored on and off for years, mostly general homework help for middle/high school students. Senior care experience: I spent a lot of time helping to take care of my grandpa before he passed away. Pet care experience: I have three cats at home, including one with a disability (cerebellar hypoplasia), who I love taking care of. I have also had dogs/fish in the past.
I have a degree in Psychology from UFRJ (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro), in Brazil. When I first came to the U.S.(96) I was a stay at home mom. my kids were 7 and 2. I've been working with kids (other than mine) since 2003. I have been serving and helping families with children ranging in ages from 4 months to 6 years old. I think it's fun and very rewarding to see any child grow, and I'm happy and proud to be a part of a child's development, as well as give parents a helping hand in their journey of raising their children.

Hi! My name is Jamie, and I am a clinical psychologist. I love working with kids and can provide tutoring, babysitting, pet sitting, and help with household tasks! I am available on weekday evenings and weekends. I have experience babysitting and tutoring elementary through middle school-aged students over the past 8 years. I have worked at several educational summer camps, a summer school, and a program that taught social-emotional skills to elementary-aged students. I also have experience providing one-on-one tutoring and babysitting for kids ages 4-13. I can provide tutoring for homework help or for educational enrichment. I also have experience teaching executive functioning strategies for organizing, prioritizing, and scheduling tasks, improving attention span, and managing distractibility. I love connecting with kids and finding creative ways to make learning fun and engaging. I enjoy helping kids explore their passions and express their creativity. I love creative writing, storytelling, playing sports and outdoor games, enjoying nature, and being silly with children. I also have 2 years of experience as a household assistant and enjoy completing household tasks to make things run smoothly. Through my graduate training, I have learned to be very reliable and organized and to communicate effectively. Please reach out if you are interested in tutoring or babysitting for your children or a household assistant!
“Jamie was on time, thorough with the job, and communicative, leaving the condo spotless. I would highly recommend her service.”
