Dominique $30 per hour for 1 child

I recently moved back to the area and am seeking childcare opportunities. My ample experience with kids in both childcare settings and as a counselor make me uniquely qualified for any childcare position. I worked as a child trauma counselor for children of all ages for five years. This experience provided me with an astute ability to connect emotionally with children, understand their needs, and help them to feel safe. I have a Masters in Social Work and Bachelors in Psychology; and worked as a babysitter and nanny for various families while in school. While studying for my Bachelors, I worked at a daycare for four years. I have a year of experience providing behavioral therapy to children and teens with autism and/or developmental disabilities, in addition to caring for kids with special needs in nannying settings. I have adored developing strong bonds with children throughout my life.

Robyn $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi family! I have experience caring for infants and genuinely enjoy creating a calm, loving, and attentive environment for babies. I am also a student by night, enrolled in child development to learn more about the little ones and how to best care for them! I'm reliable, communicative, and comfortable with pets, and I'm happy to help with light baby-related tidying as needed. I'm CPR/First Aid trained (but would need to renew). I'd love the opportunity to connect and see if I'd be a good fit for your family.

Cepideh $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Cepideh (Cep for short) and I currently work part-time researcher at UC San Francisco, a role I secured after graduating from UC Santa Barbara in 2021. In undergrad, I was an active student involved in the Undergraduate Mentorship Program which mentors and guides first year students through academic and personal situations. One of my first ever jobs was as a swim instructor at the local swim school De Anza Cupertino Aquatics (DACA). I taught children ages 7-11 basic swim strokes and safety during their lessons. I also had the opportunity to work as a camp counselor during my high school career. I led a group of elementary school children through their activities in a weeklong excursion in the Watsonville outdoor school. I find an incredible sense of wonderment when I have the opportunity to work with children. I end up learning more than I anticipated through conversations and activities I engage in with the children. I look forward to continuing to work with children in my local area!

Hi! My name is Nia and I currently work in tech as a marketer. I have experience working as a teacher assistant in Montessori schools with children aged 6 months to 5 years, as well as other various babysitting jobs. I can provide homework help, transportation to activities, crafts, and outdoor activities. I play soccer and the piano, so I can also help your child enrich their skills in either.
