With over five years of professional childcare experience, I provide high-quality, dependable, and nurturing care focused on children’s safety, development, and emotional well-being. I have worked with children from 3 months to 13 years old, creating structured, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environments that support each child’s individuality and growth. I am CPR, First Aid, and EpiPen certified, and trained to respond calmly and efficiently in any situation, ensuring a safe and secure environment for the children in my care. My experience includes working with children with autism, which has strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to provide individualized support based on each child’s unique needs. In addition to childcare, I offer comprehensive household support, including home organization, pet care, errands, transportation, and meal preparation. I take pride in maintaining a well-structured and harmonious home environment that helps families function smoothly and stress-free. I have been caring for children in the United States for the past two years (ages 2–7), and I also bring extensive long-term experience in Mexico, where I have worked with children ranging from 1 to 6 years old since 2013. I am a native Spanish speaker with an upper-intermediate level of English, which I continue to improve daily through professional experience and communication. I value clear, respectful, and reliable communication with families. I am dedicated, proactive, and deeply committed to providing a safe, loving, and structured environment where children can thrive.

Hello, I’m Rosie. I’m CPR-certified and provide reliable, thoughtful care for the people you love. I’ve taken Early Childhood Development courses, which allowed me to work as a teacher’s assistant and gain gain hands-on experience supporting children in structured, nurturing environments. I’ve also spent years caring for younger family members and supporting my sister, who is on the autism spectrum. These experiences have taught me patience, flexibility, and the importance of meeting people where they are. I’m attentive, dependable, and enjoy supporting children with routines, learning, and play. I also offer senior care, pet care, and light household help, and I take pride in being someone families can trust and feel comfortable relying on.

My name is Nadia! I’m a babysitter with experience caring for children ages 2-12. I believe in the importance of listening and talking to children, without talking “down” to them. My warm and communicative approach creates positive experiences for the kids and cooperative care-taking relationships. That’s why when I worked at a summer day-camp for 4-11yo children learning English in my hometown, there was popular demand from children and their parents for me to be on-site every day. I helped ease children’s separation anxiety and made them feel comfortable and confident in an unfamiliar environment. Originally scheduled to work just 4 days over the summer, I ended up as a full-time aide. Some of my favorite activities to do with kids are baking and reading stories. I also have a good track record of getting children involved in simple, age-appropriate chores (e.g., making the bed) in a way that feels fun. I can provide references, including from parents who can attest to my ability to care for multiple kids at once. I also have extensive teaching and tutoring experience, and would be happy to provide homework help: - I have experience tutoring pre-k, elementary school, and high school students in reading, math, and test prep. - I have two years of experience as an instructor at UC Berkeley, and another three years of experience mentoring college students. - I speak English, French, Arabic, and a bit of Spanish. I love to encourage children’s multilingualism and can help with foreign language homework. I’m confident with preparing meals and snacks. I previously was a head chef at a student co-op, where my dinners got rave reviews. I still get recipe requests from former co-opers (especially my hummus recipe!). I’m happy to bring these skills to your children’s snack time. I try to incorporate learning experiences into my caregiving, and I especially enjoy working with families who value curiosity and learning. I was a National Merit Scholar in undergrad, and I recently graduated with my PhD in a social science discipline from UC Berkeley. I have a full time job scheduled to start in 2027. Until then, you can hire a (non-medical) doctor for a discount.

As the second oldest of seven children, I have spent most of my life caring for kids. From ages 17 to 19, I was the sole caregiver for my two youngest siblings, then ages 0 to 4, due to an illness in the family. I started babysitting at a young age and quickly built a reputation for being especially good with young children. I went on to work in K-12 summer camps for four summers, then spent two years as a program leader in a K-8 public school afterschool program. During my thirteen years as a flight attendant, I completed annual first aid training, including infant and child CPR and Heimlich maneuver certification. I live in Cole Valley with my small, perfect dog Lola and my partner, who works at a tech start up. I'm reliable, responsible, and very flexible with scheduling. I hold an undergraduate degree in Global Studies and am currently transitioning into education and social impact work. I stay active in the community through food insecurity and youth literacy volunteer programs, as an avid reader, I love to spread my love of books to the next generation! I am a deeply curious and empathic person who believes in meeting someone where they are at and always listening first. I have pets my entire adult life and am also happy to pet sit or take your furry friend for a walk.
