I have experience working with infants and toddlers in a daycare setting, have raised 2 children and am a lifelong equestrian, giving riding lessons to children and adults. I have several months of pet sitting experience with dogs, cats and chickens. As a highly sensitive empath, I have patience for challenging people, pets and situations. I am a natural teacher and have a youthful heart. I am very organized and provide a peaceful environment for those I care for,
Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and enthusiastic person who loves working with children and animals. I’ve been working at a preschool for a little over a month, and I absolutely love it! Although I currently work with preschool-aged children, I’m open to caring for children of all ages. I enjoy doing all kinds of activities with kids, from playing games and making crafts to helping them learn and explore new things. I want every child to feel safe, happy, and cared for while having fun and being themselves. I’m also happy to offer pet-sitting services! I have two dogs and two cats of my own, and I’ve been helping foster cats my whole life. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I love giving them the attention, care, and affection they deserve. Whether you’re looking for someone to care for your children or look after your pets while you’re away, I’d love to help!
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!
“Kareena spent the day with my 4 year old who LOVED her and is already begging for her to come back! ”
I have 4 years of childcare experience for ages 3 and up, I am CPR and First Aid certified. I enjoy playing indoor and outdoor games with kids and I am willing to help with homework and provide basic house cleaning. I’m passionate about making a positive impact on children’s lives and I am comfortable enforcing household rules.
Hi, I’m Cheyanne! I’m a fun, creative, and loving person who truly enjoys putting a smile on someone’s face. I’ve always had a passion for making people feel supported, seen, and encouraged, no matter what they may be going through. While I was in college, I had the opportunity to serve as a “Big” through Big Brothers Big Sisters. That experience meant a lot to me. It allowed me to build a meaningful bond with my “Little,” offer guidance, and grow as a mentor. It strengthened my love for helping young people and reminded me of the importance of being a positive role model. I’m also a proud aunt to several nieces and nephews, and I’ve been trusted to watch over them throughout the years. Being there for them whether we’re playing, learning, or just spending quality time together has helped shape my understanding of care, patience, and responsibility. My family knows they can depend on me, and that means the world. I’m the kind of person who brings warmth and positivity into everything I do, and I always aim to brighten the day of anyone I meet.
