Hello! My name is Erica and I've been watching children beginning with my little sister when I was in jr. high. Since then I have babysat children of all ages. I have worked at preschools and have taken classes in early childhood development. I taught my own class of 3 year olds, but have served as an aide in classes ranging from infant to 5 years. I am a fully licensed cosmetologist & work as a hairstylist at a salon in Berkeley. I love children of all ages and they tend to love me. I'm a child at heart and enjoy singing, art, going outside, and just having fun. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching movies and tv shows, exploring the outdoors, and cooking.

“Erica is wonderful! She is very easy to communicate with, arrived on time, and put my 8 month old who has some separation anxiety at ease. We look forward to working with her again in the future! ”

Hello, I am Julia. I am a teacher with over 7 years of experience caring for and providing education to children. 2 years ago I established myself as an independent teacher after having worked as an Early Childhood educator in a Waldorf school for 5 years. As an independent teacher I specialize in teaching sewing and clothing design. I also enjoy providing care for young children and pets. I am a very attentive and gentle woman with lots of experience as a teacher and I possess a natural care giving ability. I have mainly taught children ages 2-11, along with recently providing care for a young man of 22 years who had a disability. I have been teaching clothing design & sewing over the past 9 years. I really value fostering the creativity of children and enjoy assisting them in bringing their ideas to life. I am Waldorf trained and I believe in the importance of nurturing the holistic well being of young children. I have been making clothing since I was 7 years old and I am trained in clothing construction and clothing design, having operated my own clothing line for 4 years before my teaching career started. I also love to cook, paint, decorate homes and participate in many creative activities. One of my main love languages is cooking for others. I have lots of experience with animals. I fostered rescue cats for 4 years and I also do pet setting. I know how to administer medicines and offer a calm environment. I also have recently become a certified yoga teacher and I have also started to teach yoga classes. I am also offering that within my care services.

“Julia was such a natural with kids, even my daughter with separation anxiety. She was patient and intuitive. Sometimes you meet sitters who are more skilled with children than most parents. This is Julia. A++. Thank you!”

Hi! I am just ending 8 great years as an after-school nanny and family assistant and before that 7 great years as a preschool teacher, working with kids aged 2. 5 --5. I worked within 3 classrooms, experiencing all the ages from toddlers to pre-k. I have worked with children of all ages on some level - babysitting, preschool, after-school care, summer programs and tutoring - for the past 30 years. I naturally gravitate to children and get on their level pretty easily while also maintaining the responsibility and authority a child might need when not in the care of parents. My care philosophy is very child centered and respectful, similar to the philosophies of RIE, Magda Geber and play based learning. I am available for date nights, after school and weekend care. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are read (my children's book library keeps growing), craft activities and cooking (bonus: I do the cleanup!).

Hi! I'm Yalili. I bring a warm, structured approach to childcare—whether it's story time, arts and crafts, or helping with routines. I'm bilingual (English/Spanish), patient, and attentive to each child's unique personality and needs. I also love encouraging little ones' curiosity and supporting busy parents however I can. Whether you're looking for someone part-time, occasional, or backup care, I’d love to support your family with love, structure, and reliability.

Hello! My name is Amary, and I’m 38 years old. I’m the mother of two adorable boys and have 10 years of babysitting experience. During my time as a student in France, I worked as a babysitter, and when I moved to the US, I decided to continue in this field. I enjoy playing various games with the kids and am open to any activity that the parents prefer. Occasionally, I try to teach them French, which I speak fluently. I’m available for occasional babysitting jobs and only accept jobs that are at least 4 hours long. I’m comfortable with dogs, but I’m not comfortable with cats because I’ve been attacked by one in the past. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Best regards, Amary
