Hello! My name is Yesenia. I’m a proud mom of three wonderful children and a dedicated preschool teacher with over 4 years of experience working in an early childhood education setting. I hold 12 units in Child Development and have a genuine passion for nurturing young minds through play, music, and creativity. I love engaging little ones with nursery rhymes (especially songs by Ms. Rachel!), reading picture books, and doing arts and crafts that spark imagination. Being a child at heart helps me connect naturally with kids in a fun, caring, and safe way. I’m currently available on weekends for date nights and would be happy to provide your family with loving and dependable care.
Hi! My name is Skyler, and I’m currently a student at the University of Oklahoma pursuing a degree in Speech Language Pathology with an interest in working with children. Before starting college, I took a gap year where I worked extensively with families as a nanny and pet sitter. During that time, I cared for children of many ages, helped with daily routines, supervised activities, assisted with homework, prepared meals and snacks, and provided dependable support to busy families. My gap year gave me valuable hands on experience, strengthened my communication skills, and confirmed my passion for working with children. In addition to childcare experience, I have worked as a camp counselor and have experience creating engaging, age appropriate activities that help children learn, grow, and have fun. I enjoy arts and crafts, outdoor activities, reading, animals and finding creative ways to keep kids engaged. My goal is always to provide a safe, positive, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident their children are in good hands!
“Skyler was great with our kids and really wonderful with communication! I would definitely hire Skyler again!”
Hi, my name is Ellen. I'm retired and have been pet sitting for over six years. I am reliable, responsible, caring and attentive. I pride myself on keeping your pets' routine as consistent as possible including their usual feeding times, walks, medications and plenty of attention and cuddle time. I understand how important good communication is when you're away from your pets. I'm happy to send photos and updates and stay in touch as much or as little as you'd like. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you are away. References available
“I honestly can’t recommend her enough! She is absolutely amazing with dogs and treats every pet like they’re her own. She is incredibly loving, attentive, and reliable, and I never have to worry for a second when my dog is with her. She takes her on walks, gives her tons of attention, and somehow manages to spoil her even more than I do! My dog absolutely loves her and is always so excited to see her, which says everything. She’s also the kind of person who genuinely loves animals, so this isn’t just a job for her. She really cares about them and makes sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I would trust her with my dog anytime and recommend her 100% to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets.”
Hello my name is Teri, I was raised in Alameda, I am the second oldest out of 4 children, growing up with 1 older brother an d 2 younger sisters, my youngest sister was born when I was nine so I was introduced to babies at a young age. Raised by a single mom she always instilled in me a strong work ethic. I worked for 20+ years in the Tech Industry (Medical Devices). As a Supervisor, Analyst and Health & Safety. Senior Care In 2017 I resigned from my job of 17 yrs and relocated to Arizona to live with my ailing father who lost his wife, he needed help with daily activities, cooking, cleaning, shopping, Dr appts. After his passing I moved to Oregon and semi-retired in 2020. Children While in Oregon I took a part time job with KIDSNW as a Personal Support worker. They work with the State to get help for families who have children with disabilities. I was placed with a family who has 7 yr old twins, I helped them with daily activities like dressing, reading, art projects, homework, playing games, playing outside. I also supported the parents with home chores and accompanied them on errands and watched the children on their date nights. Infants and Toddlers I helped a family in Alameda County 2 to 3 times a week for 5 yrs who had new born twins and a 3 yr old, I assisted with bathing, clothing, changing diapers, preparing bottles for the evening and helped parents with household duties. I am currently working with a family that has twins a boy and girl they had just turned 2 when I started with them. My duties are changing diapers, feeding, bathing, reading books, drawing taking them to the park to play they have alot of energy. I also help with household chores. I relocated to Contra Costa County to help out my sister recover after her surgery, now that she is feeling better I would like to resume working part time. My primary interest is finding part time steady work assisting families with young children. In my spare time I like to garden, walk my dog and go to the movies. I am a self-starter motivated person who is easy going, friendly, honest, dependable, respectful, and I like to think I have a good sense of humor. During challenging situations I can act calmly and with patience I am sure my life experience is the reason for this. I hope you will consider me for your child care needs. Best regards, Teri
“Ms. Teri took care of my son in the morning and helped him prepare for preschool while I was conducting conference calls. She was reliable, punctual, responsive, and trustworthy with a high sense of responsibility. My son was excited to see her every time. She even went above and beyond to help us tidy up the kitchen. We feel lucky to have met Teri. I would recommend her!”
