Booked by 6 families in Millbrae, CA

Greetings! My name is Ava Alexandra (She/They) and I have been babysitting since 2019. I am a San Francisco native, multimedia artist, and community advocate who is going back to university to finish my Bachelor's Degree in Communications and Asian American Studies. I currently attend SFSU and my hobbies include painting, enjoying live music, playing dress up, and advocating for my community! In my spare time I enjoy cooking, baking, writing poetry, and singing karaoke. I have experience caring for children ages 1-12, picking them up from school, walking them home, or bringing them to the park for a few hours to play. I am well versed in "mother's helper" tasks such as dishwashing, cooking, laundry, light housework, and organizing. I am familiar with bedtime and bath time routines for children, ensuring they are well taken care of and happy. I enjoy working with children and providing them with the tools they need to be creative, grow strong, and be healthy! I enjoy art, fashion, and all elements of design. I love to design clothing and sew. Some of my interests include painting, watching anime, and playing Nintendo Switch games. Please book me at least 24 hours in advance. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Hope to be in touch soon. :)

“Ava has been extremely sweet with my daughter, getting her ready and taking her to school in the morning while I'm in Zoom meetings and then helping me with some mommy's helper stuff around the house. She's making my life a lot easier! 🙏🥰”

Hello, I'm Jessica, a 34-year-old Brazilian currently studying Respiratory Care. My passion for caring for children began at the age of 16, looking after my cousins. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers, although I adore children of all ages! On sunny days, I enjoy trips to the park or leisurely walks, and on rainy days, we can engage in creative activities like coloring, painting, or fort building. Outside of childcare, I relish hiking, exploring new destinations, and cherishing moments with friends. I also come with excellent references attesting to my dedication and competence in childcare.
