Francesca $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Francesca and I’m currently a full time graduate student looking to work closer to my school with a more flexible schedule. I currently go to school for psychology in a dual masters program for MFT/LPC and forensic psychology. I also work with children 11-17 years old that struggle with their mental health that also have various medical conditions which helps provide me knowledge and experience when it comes to medical emergencies. Not only am I BLS certified, but both of my parents are also nurses so I’ve been around medical knowledge for a very long time. I love working with children of all ages and enjoy cleaning, cooking, and taking care of others. I have experience with kids of all ages from 3 months old to 17 years old. My babysitting experience started when I was 16 years old and began in the family. I took care of my baby cousins who were 8 months old and 6 years old. The 8 month old baby boy is also autistic which taught me so much patience and understanding at such a young age which I continued to grow and develop these skills. The most recent family I was a babysitter for moved to Texas a couple years ago but the children in my care were 18 months old and 4 years old. I was with the family for 3 years but within those years, it has taught me so much and brought so much joy into my life. Activities I enjoy doing are teaching children new skills, tutoring for school, and playing games with kids to keep their minds and bodies active. Working in my current job has also taught me many new arts and crafts skills that I enjoy teaching and sharing with others. When it comes to senior care, I only have experience through family. I have had close relatives who unfortunately became very sick and dependent of care takers and I was able to have the experience of taking care of them by helping transfer them from a wheelchair to the bed, adjusting their bed to ensure stability and comfort, how to keep them clean and fed, and to also keep their minds occupied and happy. I am naturally a caretaker and enjoy being able to care for all no matter the age. I am able to help cook, clean, run errands, and provide transportation. I have a great love for animals of all kind and would also enjoy/be comfortable working with them as well. I’ve had animals all of my life and currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats who I love spending my time with.

Simone $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello My name is Simone, I’m a 21 year old student who just graduated from Diablo valley College with a certification in early childhood education. My experience includes volunteering in a Montessori preschool and volunteering in an occupational therapy clinic for children with disabilities. The ages I have the most experience with are Preschoolers from ages 3-10. I also have babysitted a couple of clients in the past. I believe I am fit to be a babysitter because I like doing arts and crafts with the children and reading books to them. Some tasks that I am able to perform is helping with making meals, light household work, helping getting ready for bedtime, and homework help (if it’s not math). I also have a calm but clear demeanor when comes to working with challenging behavior. I can’t wait to meet you and your child!

Booked by 1 family in Danville, CA

Hi! My name is Andrea, and I’m a responsible, caring, and energetic caregiver offering child care and household support. I have experience working with children through camp programs, where I cared for toddlers, and as a swim instructor teaching kids from ages 1 up to 15. I’ve worked with a wide range of ages and abilities, focusing on safety, patience, and building confidence. I’m comfortable leading activities, providing one-on-one care, and creating a fun, supportive environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and truly enjoy helping kids feel safe, happy, and cared for.
