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!
For two decades, I've dedicated myself to nurturing young minds and creating enriching environments for children. My passion stems from witnessing their incredible growth and development. I enjoy using my creative and imaginative personality to engage children in outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and caring up to two children, ages newborn to to seven. I maintain open communication with parents, providing updated through verbal discussions or text, always respecting your preferred method. My background includes Early Childhood Education coursework, First Aid training, and CPR Training. I'm also happy to help with cooking and crafts. I hope to bring my experience and love for childcare to your family.
I’am a calm, attentive, and responsible babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I focus on creating a safe, positive environment where kids feel comfortable, heard, and engaged. I’m patient and adaptable, whether that means helping with homework, organizing fun and creative activities, or simply sticking to a child’s routine so they feel secure. I pay close attention to details—like dietary needs, bedtime schedules, and house rules—and I take those seriously. I also believe communication is key, so I make sure to keep parents informed and follow their preferences closely. At the same time, I bring a warm, friendly energy so kids see me as someone they can trust and have fun with, not just someone in charge. Overall, I aim to be dependable, nurturing, and someone both parents and children feel confident with.
Hi, my name is Liz! I’m 22 years old, located in the San Pablo, Ca area. I am a mom of 1 adventurous little girl, currently 2 years old! I have experienced with newborns, toddlers, and other children up to the age of 10. I love taking kids on walks to parks, and the zoo! I have experience with both morning and evening routines, prepping and serving breakfast/snacks, bathing, administrating medicine/vitamins, setting up dinner, winding down, bath time, bedtime, and of course play time! I am more than happy to answer any questions your family might have. I work best with routine and clear instructions, but of course I understand the hectic side of routines with kids :) Id love to chat over the phone or facetime if you’re comfortable. You can reach me at five one zero seven seven six six four two two. Thank you for your time and consideration :) - Liz :)
Hi! My name is Melissa and I grew up in the Bay Area, I am offering house sitting, dog or cat sitting, or part-time babysitting. I have worked for the City of San Pablo for about 3 years now. My position there is a part-time recreation leader where I facilitated activities for youth in summer camps, school break camps, & field trips! I am quick to learn new things & I love activities outdoors. I am also very good at arts & crafts which helps me build strong relationships with any child that I care for. I own two dogs, one of which has passed away, & I get along really well with animals! I also currently work at a small cafe in San Pablo, CA. I can multitask, clean & run errands as needed. I am open to housesitting, cat/dogsitting, & of course childcare!
