Hi there! 👋 I'm Paveerat, but everyone calls me Pearl. I've spent over 20 years caring for children, and babies, toddlers, and kids up to about 10 are my specialty. The youngest baby I've cared for was just 1 month old. As an au pair, I lived with a family for two years and cared for their two little ones, who were 1½ and 2½ when I started. I've also worked in preschools and summer camps. I love getting kids outside! We go to the park, the playground, museums, or anywhere they're excited about. On days we stay home, I plan play that fits their age, like blocks and pretend play for little ones, or crafts and games for older kids. What families tell me sets me apart: • Babies and toddlers are second nature to me. Bottles, diapers, naps, and keeping a newly mobile baby safe. • I'm calm and creative, whether it's a rainy afternoon or a meltdown before bedtime. • I use positive discipline. No yelling, no fear, just connection and clear boundaries. • I follow your routines and rules exactly, from mealtime to bedtime. • Kids open up to me fast. I think it's because I take them seriously. I'm available weekday evenings from 5:30 PM to midnight and all day on Saturdays. I'm perfect for date nights, events, or a regular go-to sitter. I'd love to hear about your family. Send me a message! Thank you, Pearl

Hello, my name is Cagla. I hold a master’s degree and have been working with children and families since 2013. My experience includes working as an au pair in the U.S. as well as supporting families through after-school educational programs and family-focused care services. I understand the different needs of children at various developmental stages and adapt my approach accordingly, and I consistently receive positive feedback from families for my professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to build trust.

“Cagla has been a repeat babysitter many times for us over the past year for our kids aged 2 and 4. She is punctual, responsive, and has great availability. She even traveled north of SF to babysit during a recent family trip, which gave us great piece of mind since we knew and trusted her already. What stands out about Cagla compared to other other caregivers we've worked with (and why we continue to work with her) is the amount of energy, drive and attention she has in her work with children. She knows what ages various milestones happen (e.g. separation anxiety) and is prepared to handle them. She always asks the important practical questions about routines and schedules, and provides a clear update at the end of the stay. She is warm and plays with our kids on their level, but also very clear with them when they are crossing boundaries they shouldn't. Our children look forward to spending time with her!”

-Not currently taking jobs unless occasional or one-time care- Hello, I’m Mercedes! It’s a pleasure to connect with you. I was born and raised in Oakland, CA, and I’m Montessori trained for ages 0–6, including Early Childhood Education. I work part-time in a childcare environment, and the rest of my time is spent developing curriculum for children across different counties in California. I’m comfortable working with a wide range of age groups. Part of what makes me effective in my curriculum work is the hands-on experience I gain by spending time with children in both 1:1 and group settings, including preschool. I focus on creating a positive, supportive environment through meaningful activities — arts and crafts, outdoor play, books, and creative projects. I pride myself on being reliable and fully present with every child I care for, approaching each task with enthusiasm and dedication. I’m also fully CPR/First Aid certified and prioritize health and safety in every aspect of my work. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me — I look forward to the possibility of working with your family! Feel free to reach out with any questions. Have a wonderful day! -Just so you know, I bill for the full booking time in the app, even if we wrap up early-
