Hi there! I'm studying psychology at UC Berkeley but am currently taking some time off. My experience in childcare comes from five years of working alongside my mom, who owns an at-home daycare, helping to look after both infants and toddlers throughout the workday.

I look forward to helping your family!
Kathleen $20 per hour for 1 child
I truly love kids and have been a nanny for over 3 years. I've cared for children from ages 10 months to 7years. Toddlers are my jam, as I am patient and great a redirection. My strong points are that I respect the parents I work with and always honor their parenting style, and I love to give children space to explore and learn, but stay close enough to keep them safe, which is my number one priority.
Sophia $22 per hour for 1 child
Hello! I’m Sophia, a Social Work student with hands-on experience caring for children from infants to teens, including current work as an after-school program teacher and previous experience in daycare settings. I’m CPR certified, extremely reliable, and have a warm, patient, and emotionally supportive approach with children of all ages. I’ve also assisted with companion care for individuals with developmental delays, providing medication reminders, errands, and uplifting daily support. I’m a huge animal lover with professional experience in dog daycare environments, pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for a wide range of pets — including cats, dogs, small animals, and reptiles. Additionally, I enjoy organization, household maintenance, event planning, and helping families stay on track with daily routines. I can also help as a personal assistant. I’m flexible, friendly, and genuinely love making life easier, happier, and more comfortable for the people and families I work with.
