Hello families, My name is Celia I am 22 years old and I have a valid driver’s license. I am a caring, responsible, and energetic person with experience looking after children from 2 to 15 years old. Over the years, I have helped children with their daily routines, school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and a variety of fun and educational activities. Thanks to my experience with different age groups, I am able to adapt to each child’s personality, needs, and interests. I enjoy organizing creative activities, playing games, spending time outdoors, reading stories, and encouraging children to learn and grow in a positive environment. I believe that patience, kindness, and good communication are essential when caring for children. Families describe me as reliable, mature, organized, and trustworthy. My goal is always to create a safe, happy, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I look forward to becoming a positive part of a family’s daily life and building meaningful connections with both parents and children.

Hi! My name is Joshua, and I have over 7 years of experience working in youth development at the YMCA and SFUSD, where I’ve had the opportunity to support and mentor children of all ages.

Whether we’re exploring outdoors, playing games, working on homework, or getting creative, I love helping youth grow into themselves and supporting their interests!

Hi! I’m a responsible, patient, and reliable caregiver with 4+ years of childcare experience. I spent 3 years working in an after-school program with children ages 6–12, and for the past 1.5 years I’ve been caring for two wonderful children who are now 2.5 and 5 years old. I’ve also cared for infants (4–9 months old) through occasional babysitting jobs, so I’m comfortable with bottle feeding, diaper changes, naps, and bedtime routines. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Nursing, which gave me a foundation in child safety, health, and development. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, have reliable transportation, and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can thrive. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, playing outside, or winding down with a bedtime routine, I love keeping kids engaged while making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!
