Hello! My name is Rachel, and I am a recent college graduate and former student-athlete who recently moved back to California for my gap year before attending graduate school and pursuing a Doctorate in Physical Therapy.

I have reliable transportation, and I am dependable, responsible, energetic, and committed to creating a safe, positive environment for everyone I work with. I love working with children and have experience caring for younger family members from a young age. In addition, I have worked with with preschool-aged children with complex special needs, visual impairments, and children on the autism spectrum.

I strive to make every child feel supported, included, and encouraged while having fun.

Hi there! My name is Frankie -- it's so good to meet you! I am 28, finishing out a Bachelors in Illustration, with a minor in Art Education. In the last few years I worked as a Senior Recreation Leader, specializing in toddler classes that are both fun, educational, and encourage development of both gross and fine motor skills.

Working with children of all ages is the most rewarding work I've ever done, and I look forward to working with you!

I’ve been caring for children, homes, and families for over 15 years. I started babysitting at age 15 and have continued working with kids of all ages ever since. Now at 30, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, experience, and maturity to every family I work with. I graduated from Brown University, where I was a Division I lacrosse player and captain of the team my senior year. That experience shaped my leadership, discipline, and ability to stay calm and organized in fast-paced environments—qualities I bring into caregiving every day. Professionally, I’m a business owner, which speaks to my reliability, time management, and strong communication skills. Families trust me not only with their children, but also with their homes. I’ve frequently been hired to house sit while families travel, managing everything from daily upkeep to pet care and ensuring everything runs smoothly while they’re away. I have extensive experience tutoring middle and high school students, so I’m very comfortable helping with homework, keeping kids engaged, and supporting their academic growth. I also regularly care for my nephew, which has deepened my ability to connect with children in a patient, attentive, and genuinely caring way. Overall, I’m known for being dependable, trustworthy, and easy to work with. I bring a positive, grounded energy and take pride in creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for both kids and families.
