"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Erica $15 per hour for 1 child
I've worked with small children since age 14, as a nursery assistant. I was VP of the PTO board of an elementary school for 3.5 years, and also school mom during my time there. I most recently spent 3 years as a personal caretaker of an elderly blind man. I've always been great with those young in age and those up in age. I have an old soul but I'm a child at heart.

Hi! I’m Kareena, a sophomore student at UC Berkeley studying biology and public health. Previously, I worked as a Kumon instructor for children ages 3-18. I speak English, Spanish, Hindi, and Telugu. I can assist with cooking, meal prep, laundry, housekeeping, errands, swim supervision, language learning, and remote learning. I am CPR certified and have an active EMT license. I’d love to ensure your kids become the best version of themselves they can be!
