Hello my name is Nicole and I am a freshman at UC Berkeley looking to provide childcare services in the area. My experience: All throughout high school, I’ve worked during the summers at a speech and debate camp, where I was responsible for a group of around 10 fourth- and fifth-grade students for half of each day. My role included leading activities, supervising lunch, keeping kids engaged, and teaching confidence-building public speaking skills in a fun, age-appropriate way. I value helping children grow and learn responsibility while making sure they feel supported, safe, and entertained. I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable managing multiple children at once. In addition, I’ve helped supervise groups of children at birthday parties and small gatherings, allowing parents to relax while knowing their kids were safe, engaged, and well cared for. This has given me experience managing energetic group settings, maintaining safety, and keeping activities fun and organized. Skills: Group supervision in informal settings Age range flexibility Behavior management & engagement Structured + unstructured time management Communication with parents Responsibility & trust Educational enrichment Russian language Additionally, I am fluent in Russian, I’ve spoken it my entire life, attended formal classes since age 3, and earned a 5 on the National Examination in World Languages, so I’m happy to support bilingual households if helpful. I absolutely love caring for kids, and would be honored with your trust to help you out and keep your kids safe and happy. I’m happy to meet in person beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit, and I can provide references upon request. My rate is flexible and negotiable based on hours, duties, and your family’s needs, feel free to reach out and we can talk about what works best!

Hello Family, My name is Ashanti, I have been a nanny for 5 years along with baby sitting for 2 years. I love kids, I am super passionate about what I do. I work with majority infants, and toddlers and early age elementary kids. I’ve worked with all different types of families and children ( only child, twins, 3 and 4 kids at a time). I enjoy playing with them, teaching them new things, and also being able to be there for them; along with helping my parents that just need a little extra support. Some activities that I do with my children are outside time, story time, numbers and letter activities, and just making sure we meet milestone. I am currently in college studying criminal justice with a minor in psychology. I plan on working with children in the future that are in foster care. I am such a sweet and compassionate person with a understanding heart. I know it can get a little overwhelming being a parent so that's where I come into place. I also help prepare meal, helping clean up, help getting children on schedule to help for parents, school pick ups, night time nannying, I love doing activities as said before and creating memories is the most important thing. I DO NOT do screen time with my children, that is our time to interact with one another. I'm super big on communication with any of my parents I will always let you know what the child ate, I keep track of naps and bottles, and you will always know what our day consisted of. I am CPR and First aid certified due to the age group I work with. I can provide references as well. I would be ecstatic to meet you and your family and help out. Thank you for your time. - Ashanti

Hi there! My name is Mariah, I absolutely adore children and have had several years of experience working with ages 4-12. I used to be an art instructor, where I would lead groups of 20-30 children on my own. I would teach an array of talents ranging from basic drawing skills, to clay projects, to acrylic/watercolor painting, to jewelry making, to sewing! I also ran a 5 month long art-centered camp with rotating groups of children, during which I would work 12 hour shifts and our daily schedule consisted of art, tutoring (math/english), enrichment activities (yoga, dancing, music, and other movement experiences), completing one art project each day the students attended the group. I love to mention this because I would greatly enjoy incorporating this flow into the time I spend with your child/children! I would love to work with them to figure out what style of artistic expression they excel most sufficiently within. I also provide an intellectually stimulating while strongly empathetic and nurturing atmosphere. I’ve worked as a puppy caregiver and trainer as well as a dog sitter, staying overnight in homes while you are away on vacation. I love caregiving because I love to provide a safe space to feel secure and celebrated, as every being deserves to feel. I am currently a full time student in college, studying Sustainability and Environmental Studies. I am an artist and I enjoy writing poetry, songs, and drawing in my free time. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful offspring, and hope to speak with you soon! Thank you for reading and have a very blessed day!
