Melissa $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Melissa, and I am a Biology (Pre-Med) student at Dominican University of California. Caring for others has always been an important part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy helping people of all ages feel safe, supported, and cared for. I have over 7 years of childcare experience through babysitting family members, friends' children, and helping care for my younger siblings. I have experience with children ranging from newborns to teenagers and am comfortable assisting with bottle preparation, feeding, diaper changes, meal preparation, homework help, bedtime routines, and engaging children in fun and educational activities. I enjoy building positive relationships with children and creating an environment where they feel comfortable, encouraged, and valued. In addition to childcare, I currently work as a caregiver for older adults through CareYaya. In this role, I provide companionship and support to seniors experiencing dementia, memory loss, visual impairments, mobility limitations, and other age-related challenges. My responsibilities include meal preparation, light housekeeping, mobility assistance, safety supervision, companionship, and helping clients maintain their daily routines. This experience has strengthened my patience, communication skills, responsibility, and ability to remain calm and compassionate in a variety of situations. I am also a huge animal lover and have a cat of my own. Pets have always been an important part of my life, and I am comfortable caring for cats, dogs, and other household pets. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or simply providing companionship. So I can assure you, your pets will be deeply cared for with me. Families often describe me as kind, dependable, patient, and attentive. I understand the trust that comes with caring for a child, senior, or pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to provide a safe, positive, and supportive environment while giving families peace of mind that their loved ones are in good hands. I look forward to meeting new families and providing whatever help I can. Digital Portfolio: [removed]

Ana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ana, I am 23 years old, and I have been working as a nanny in the United States for the past three months. I have a degree in Pedagogy and over three years of experience working with children as both a teacher and a nanny in Brazil. I am passionate about early childhood education and believe that every child deserves to grow in a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. I am a caring, patient, responsible, and eager-to-learn person. Living in another country has given me the opportunity to experience new cultures, improve my English, and further develop my childcare skills. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new places, reading, and spending time with friends and family. I believe in the importance of kindness, respect, and lifelong learning. My goal is to build trusting relationships with families while providing children with attentive care, support, and plenty of encouragement as they grow and learn.

Diana 1 review
$40 per hour for 1 child

About Me I have 5 years of experience working with children, including after-school programs where I supported students with activities, learning, and development. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and very patient when helping children or families learn new skills. I have built great relationships with the families I’ve worked with and always strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children. Outside of work, I love to dance, work out, ride my bike, bake, cook, and take walks with my dog.

“We had a wonderful experience with Diana! She took amazing care of our 5-year-old, handling the entire bedtime routine, putting our child to bed, and even feeding our dog. She is incredibly sweet, patient, and caring. Our child absolutely loves her and always looks forward to seeing her. Her bedtime routine is amazing: calm, organized, and comforting, which made evenings so much easier for us as parents. A huge plus for our family is that Diana speaks Spanish, which has been wonderful since our child is learning the language. We really appreciated the extra exposure and encouragement in such a natural way. We always felt confident leaving our child in her care and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and loving babysitter. We will book her again for sure. Thank so much Diana!”

Tori $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Tori! So lovely to connect. A little about my experience: I have 4 years of nannying experience with the same family - two kids under 11 (7-11). The kids had packed schedules (a more robust social calendar than I) and I loved helping them hone their talents, taking them to and from activities, and helping with homework. I find it fun and energizing to play and listen to and create with the kids. I also have 3 nephews ages 1, 3, & 5 and I’ve babysat them their whole lives. I’m comfortable with babies, toddlers and kid age. A little about myself: I’m from Phoenix, Arizona. I’ve been living in the bay for 7 years now since graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill. I have a Bachelors degree in Biology & Psychology with a focus on child development. In my free time I like to do pottery, hike, and swim in the bay. I love pups - please let me pet your dog! I can’t wait to meet your family!
