Hi! My name is Nia and I currently work in tech as a marketer. I have experience working as a teacher assistant in Montessori schools with children aged 6 months to 5 years, as well as other various babysitting jobs. I can provide homework help, transportation to activities, crafts, and outdoor activities. I play soccer and the piano, so I can also help your child enrich their skills in either.

Hi! My name is Vitória, but everyone calls me Vivi. I’m currently based in the Bay Area and I’m offering child care, pet care and householdcare. I have experience with children of various ages. In my home country, I worked in a school caring for and supporting young children in their daily routines, learning, and play. Here in the US, I have two years of daily experience caring for children, and it's something I truly love. I'm patient, responsible, and always ready to create a fun, safe, and loving environment for the little ones. I also have experience caring for pets, such as walking dogs and helping with their daily needs, always making sure that the pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I'm patient, responsible, very affectionate and always ready to create a fun, safe, and loving environment for the little ones. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and proactive, I'd love to connect!
