Hi! My name is Monica — I’m a warm, energetic, and caring 26-year-old who loves working with children of all ages. I have extensive experience providing nurturing, reliable childcare in a variety of settings. Experience & Responsibilities I’ve cared for children ranging from infants to pre-teens through one-on-one nannying, nanny shares, and household manager roles. My responsibilities have included: • Organizing fun and engaging activities like park outings, library story times, and creative play • Maintaining clean and tidy child areas • Managing children’s laundry and belongings • Supporting family routines and household organization As a step-mom to a wonderful 10-year-old and the older sister who helped raise my younger siblings, caring for children has always been a natural and rewarding part of my life. I bring warmth, structure, and creativity to every family I work with.
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.
Hi my name is Alex, I have been working at a daycare for the past 2 years and I absolutely love working with kids of all ages. I love the one on one time with the kids the most and that is why I am looking for a change of pace. I absolutely love the great outdoors and doing creative things to help further the children’s development. I’ve been wanting to spend more one on one time with a few kids at a time so that I can really connect with them and watch them grow as little humans.
Hi! I'm Jenna and currently enrolled as a student at UC Berkeley I've been working with children for the past few years through a variety of roles, including as a swim coach, a STEM education teacher intern, and baby sitter. These experiences have allowed me to work with children of different ages and personalities from the super shy and introverted children to the really bubbly and energetic little ones! In my free time, I always make sure to take care of myself, whether that's going on walks with my German Shepherd, going to the gym, Pilates, and yoga. I also love to paint, draw, and do all kinds of arts and crafts. I go on TONS of hikes with either myself, my friends, or my family whenever I can. I also enjoy cooking and baking. Something families should know about me is that I absolutely love nature and enjoy encouraging children to spend time exploring the world around them. I am also open to anything so just always feel free to let me know whenever!
