Hi! My name is Melissa, and I am a Biology (Pre-Med) student at Dominican University of California. Caring for others has always been an important part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy helping people of all ages feel safe, supported, and cared for. I have over 7 years of childcare experience through babysitting family members, friends' children, and helping care for my younger siblings. I have experience with children ranging from newborns to teenagers and am comfortable assisting with bottle preparation, feeding, diaper changes, meal preparation, homework help, bedtime routines, and engaging children in fun and educational activities. I enjoy building positive relationships with children and creating an environment where they feel comfortable, encouraged, and valued. In addition to childcare, I currently work as a caregiver for older adults through CareYaya. In this role, I provide companionship and support to seniors experiencing dementia, memory loss, visual impairments, mobility limitations, and other age-related challenges. My responsibilities include meal preparation, light housekeeping, mobility assistance, safety supervision, companionship, and helping clients maintain their daily routines. This experience has strengthened my patience, communication skills, responsibility, and ability to remain calm and compassionate in a variety of situations. I am also a huge animal lover and have a cat of my own. Pets have always been an important part of my life, and I am comfortable caring for cats, dogs, and other household pets. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or simply providing companionship. So I can assure you, your pets will be deeply cared for with me. Families often describe me as kind, dependable, patient, and attentive. I understand the trust that comes with caring for a child, senior, or pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to provide a safe, positive, and supportive environment while giving families peace of mind that their loved ones are in good hands. I look forward to meeting new families and providing whatever help I can. Digital Portfolio: [removed]

Hello, my name is Ana and I’m currently a senior at Dominican University of California. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household I love being a babysitter and have worked with kids ages 1-15. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and meal cooking. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own father who suffered from a stroke in 2021 and left him completely paralyzed from the right side of his body, so I am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I am more than happy to work with families that have cats and dogs. I am also more than happy to take dogs out for walks and to appointments if needed!

Hi❣️ I hope you are well! 💐 My name is Jessica. I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced childcare provider with a B.S. in Psychology and Child Development from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I previously studied finance and engineering before realizing that my heart and strengths are truly in working with children and supporting families! 💗 I’ve worked with children for many years in both private family and school settings, including as a nanny and babysitter. I also spent a year as a program coordinator at Cove Elementary, leading enrichment programs for K-4 students in everything from financial literacy and sewing to gardening, circuits, and hands-on creative projects. I genuinely love working with children of all ages, with an especially natural connection to ages 1-5! I love creating a warm, engaging environment through outdoor adventures, imaginative play, reading, creative activities, and developmentally appropriate learning with no screen time. What I value most is becoming someone a family can truly rely on. I care deeply about the children I work with, and find a real sense of purpose in supporting the whole family system, not simply providing childcare. I’m happy to help with meal preparation, outings, errands, light household tasks, and keeping things organized :) I’m CPR, First Aid, and AED certified and take safety, reliability, and communication seriously. I especially love building lasting relationships with families and would be thrilled to connect with a family looking for consistent, recurring care! Hope to meet you 💌

About Me I have 5 years of experience working with children, including after-school programs where I supported students with activities, learning, and development. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and very patient when helping children or families learn new skills. I have built great relationships with the families I’ve worked with and always strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children. Outside of work, I love to dance, work out, ride my bike, bake, cook, and take walks with my dog.
