Meghna $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I love children and believe that they are smarter than adults often give them credit for. I believe in creating a supportive, uplifting, and safe environment where kids can learn and grow. I love being silly with kiddos and learning with/from them. I am a mental health therapist working on building my private practice. I have a background in working with kids and babysitting kids as well. I have pets and can take care of them, plus do light household chores if needed. I have my own car and have a clean driving record. I would love to chat!

Shirley 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Pablo, CA

Hi! My name is Shirley. I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Registered Nurse based in Berkeley, offering dependable part-time, backup, and date-night childcare. As both a nurse and a mom to a 13-month-old, I understand how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your child. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment while following your family’s established routines and parenting preferences. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities that encourage learning through play, including library story times, outdoor adventures, sensory play, music, crafts, and trips to local parks and zoos. I believe in fostering independence, kindness, and confidence while supporting each child’s social, emotional, and developmental growth. My background as a Registered Nurse, along with my BLS, ACLS, and Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP) certifications, allows me to provide an added level of safety and confidence for families. I’m also the oldest of five siblings and have years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’m available for occasional, recurring part-time, and backup care. My standard rate is $26/hour. For day time care and families who are comfortable with my well-socialized 13-month-old joining us, I offer a discounted rate of $24/hour, providing a wonderful opportunity for age-appropriate parallel play and social interaction. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and discuss how I can best support your childcare needs. I look forward to connecting with you! — Shirley

“Shirley is incredible! Super professional and very charismatic! She knows exactly what she’s doing, would hire again!”

Mya $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Mya. I am a transfer student at UC Berkeley. I am offering child care, dog care and cat care. I had experiences with babysitting my neighbors’ kids and my cousins since I was young and I really love children, dogs and cats. I can drive them to school/ pick them up from school, help them with homework, cooking for them, playing with them and take care of basic needs. For cats and dogs, I have four cats and a dog myself at home. I would love to take care of them. I can offer walking, feeding and playing with them.

Nazrin $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nazrin. I’m a lab manager for the Dunn Lab at UCSF Mission Bay. I love working with kids so I also work part-time at Christ Church East Bay. With a background in science, I enjoy tutoring and reading with children to support their vocabulary and development. I have experience caring for school-aged kids, pre-school, and toddlers. I’d be more than happy to look after younger children as well if given a chance/training. I’m reliable, patient, and always strive to create a safe and positive environment where kids can learn and have fun!
