Mele $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mele, and I'm a 19-year-old college student. I worked as a teacher's assistant at Step Ahead Learning Center in Walnut Creek for 2 years, and I've also been nannying for the past 3 years. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from 6 months to 10 years old. I truly enjoy nannying and tutoring—not only because it helps me pay for college, but also because I love working with kids. Tutoring has been especially rewarding because teaching concepts I'm learning in school helps reinforce my own understanding while supporting a child's learning and confidence. I come from a big family and have always loved spending time with my nieces and nephews, whether we're playing outside, doing crafts, reading, or going on fun outings. I strive to create a safe, caring, and engaging environment where children can learn, have fun, and feel supported. For references, please feel free to contact Lota Veimau, whom I worked with at Step Ahead Learning Center, at [removed] or [removed]. Thank you for your consideration! If you have any questions or would like to get in touch, you can reach me at (510) 571-0511 or [email protected].

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
