Hi families, I’m Aisha, a child therapist, expressive arts practitioner, and lifelong caregiver with decades of experience supporting children, teens, families, animals, plants, and community. My approach is caring, connective, attuned, expressive, and deeply imaginative. I specialize in helping children feel safe, engaged, emotionally supported, and genuinely seen. I love integrating art, nature, imagination, sensory play, emotional regulation tools, and gentle structure into time spent together. In addition to my clinical background, I’m also an artist and huge animal lover, so I’m very comfortable in homes with pets and happy to help care for furry family members too. Families often describe me as both gentle and strong, nurturing, attentive, intuitive, and highly trustworthy. I’m especially skilled with sensitive, creative, neurodivergent, queer, or emotionally expressive children, and I value building authentic relationships with both kids and parents. Available for babysitting, caregiving support, creative engagement, school pickups, evening care, and pet-friendly households. Looking forward to connecting 🌿

Hello! My name is Vanessa , and I’m an 18-year-old Bay Area native. I have two years of experience assisting an elderly couple with house cleaning, meal prep, yard work, and companionship. I also have several years of experience babysitting child family members and friends of family. I am comfortable with personal care tasks and handling messes or accidents, and I approach all care with respect, patience, and attentiveness.i also have 5+ experience pet sitting! I started pet-sitting when I was 13-years-old, taking care of neighborhood pets. This has given me the chance to care for birds, cats, dogs, and hamsters. I also have a 7-year-old dog of my own who I’ve had and loved since he was a pup. As a person with an active lifestyle, I love taking pets out for walks (a great way to get my steps, Vit. D, and some dopamine from seeing pets have fun outdoors). I am also not the kind of person to shy away from cleaning up a litter box, accidents, or any messes that is commonly a given with pets I currently work weekends at Bumblebee Playspace in Newark Marketplace, helping hosts manage children’s birthday parties, maintain safety, and create a fun experience for families. This role has strengthened my attention to detail, problem-solving, and ability to engage with people of all ages. I also recently just started work as a server at a sushi restaurant which is strengthening my skills in multitasking, quick decision making, and flexibility. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, board games, and walking. I am passionate about nutrition and often research science-backed articles in my free time. Friends and coworkers describe me as outgoing and friendly. I would love to help bring care to those in need!

Hi! I'm Cheyanne, a college student studying pre-nursing with a dream of becoming a Labor & Delivery nurse. Caring for others isn't just something I do, it's genuinely who I am. I've been a trusted caregiver for over 10 years, looking after my nieces, nephews, and children of extended family and friends from infancy through school age. I grew up fast and took on a nurturing, reliable role with my siblings from a young age, and that sense of responsibility has only grown stronger over time. Families know me as someone who shows up, stays calm, and genuinely invests in the children I care for. Professionally, I'm currently volunteering weekly in a NICU, where I spend time reading to newborns and infants who are navigating serious illnesses and medical challenges during their earliest days of life. It's taught me patience, gentleness, and a deep attentiveness to the needs of the most vulnerable little ones and it's one of the most meaningful things I do. Reading has always been a passion of mine, so getting to share that with babies who need comfort and connection feels like exactly where I'm supposed to be. I also have volunteered with the East Oakland Collective for the past few years, a community organization dedicated to supporting Oakland's most vulnerable residents. It's an experience that has deepened my empathy and commitment to showing up consistently for others. Beyond childcare, I'm happy to help with cooking, light household tasks, or errands — whatever makes your family's day run a little smoother. When I'm not caregiving or studying, you'll find me reading, writing, or staying active. I'm a former track athlete and exercise is still a big part of my life. I also keep a Substack as a creative outlet and a way to express myself. I'm a big believer that curiosity, movement, and storytelling are all gifts worth nurturing in children too. What sets me apart is the heart I bring to this work. My nursing path has shaped me into someone who is compassionate, patient, and dependable, and I take that same standard of care into every family I work with. I'd love the opportunity to be someone your family can genuinely count on!
