Hi! I’m a 29-year-old recent medical school graduate with a deep love for caring for others, especially kids. I graduated from the University of San Francisco and have spent time working at UCSF in cancer research, as well as building a nonprofit organization that I’m incredibly passionate about. I’ve had several years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, including those with medical complexities. I’ve supervised up to 15 kids at a time while directing a summer science camp, provided consistent after-school care, and worked closely with families over multiple years. I also spent three years working at a tutoring center, so I’m very comfortable helping with homework and learning activities. I truly enjoy creating fun, engaging experiences for kids, whether that’s baking together, doing arts and crafts, playing sports, exploring parks, or organizing little “adventures” around the city like trips to museums, hikes, or the beach. I’ve also supported families during overnights, vacations, and special events like birthdays and weddings. I’m known for being extremely patient, dependable, and a strong communicator with parents. Most importantly, I genuinely love building meaningful connections with the children I care for and always put my whole heart into the families I work with. I’d love to connect and support your family however I can! :)

As the oldest sister of my family, I’ve been babysitting for family members and siblings for the past four years. Over that time, I have learned how to connect with children while growing personally and professionally, being able to babysit allowed me to understood better the responsibilities of providing a safe and fun environment to children as well as being able to truly make connection with family members and my own siblings as well!

I am also currently enrolled in college, studying psychology, which further enhances my understanding of child development and the ways I can positively influence children’s growth and well-being. I truly enjoy being a working with families as it allows me to connect with children, understand their unique perspectives, and contribute to their daily lives in meaningful ways. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience, patience, and passion for child development to your family.

“Itzel took care of my 2 yr old for a few mornings when I was in a pinch. I was around the house with her some of the time so I can say with confidence that she was a natural with that age. She was very patient and had a sense of humor about toddler oddities. She was reliable and communicated really well with me. I would definitely recommend her. ”

Hi parents! I’ve been in United States since 2019. I came as an au pair and now I’m a college student. All this time I had the pleasure of taking care of kids from different ages: 8 months to 12 years. With the kids I like to read books, paint, play, take them to parks or different places if the parent is comfortable. I’m a person that is very patient, calm, respectful and trustworthy.

“Karen was very friendly and professional, our daughter really enjoyed her! We would definitely hire her again. ”

Hello, I'm Mallu! I have +9 years of childcare experience, having cared for kids aged 2 months to 14 years. My expertise covers childcare, household management, and pet care. Over the past years, I've worked as a full-time caregiver for several families in the Bay area. Additionally, I've provided babysitting services to many families with children of different ages. During my educational journey, I also took child development classes, which added an extra layer of understanding to my practical experience. I'm genuinely enthusiastic about helping children grow, achieve milestones, and develop important skills. Whether it's organizing outdoor activities or engaging in indoor play, I take joy in providing engaging experiences for children of all ages. Beyond childcare, I like cooking, staying active through exercise, and immersing myself in good reads. If you're seeking an extra hand to make things easier, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thank you for considering me. Mallu
