Booked by 3 families in Berkeley, CA

Hi! My name is Rebecca, I am 24 years old, and a recent graduate from UC Berkeley. I currently work part time as a Partnership Coordinator for the childcare non-profit Nurture, and as a behavioral class aide to autistic elementary students. I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. I offer child care, senior care, and household services. I believe that play-based learning in a structured and nurturing environment is the key to healthy childhood development. 🌱 I love arts and crafts, can help with homework, and can drive to/from school. I love cooking and am happy to work with animals as well! 🐾 I have extensive experience in child care as I have been a family babysitter since I was 15 years old. I have also worked through IHSS as a caregiver for a high support needs autistic woman with an intellectual disability. These experiences have taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of accommodating different learning styles. Additionally, I have experience caring for an elderly family member with dementia, which then transitioned into end-of-life care. As an undergrad, I was a dedicated member of the Sage Mentorship Project. I served as a mentor and Program Director for students at Sylvia Mendez Elementary and Fairmont Elementary. I’m excited to meet you and your family! ☺️

My responsibilities have included pickup from school, homework help, and taking them to and from activities. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. Additionally, during COVID I used to hold art classes for students ages 3-5 as a way of entertainment and social connection throughout quarantine.

Hi! I’m Darria, with over eight years of childcare experience. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and kids, ensuring they are safe, happy, and engaged—whether it’s pick-ups, playtime, or mealtime. I’m also a great cook and love helping with household chores to keep your home neat and comfortable. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, fun, and dependable caregiver, I’d love to support your family. I look forward to connecting with you!

“Darria was lovely. She was so warm and loving towards my 4 month old son, and tidied the house up during his nap without me asking. ”

Valentina 3 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 6 families in Berkeley, CA

Hi! I’m Valentina 😊 I’m originally from Colombia 🇨🇴 and currently live in San Francisco. I speak Spanish and English, and I really enjoy working with children and getting to know their little personalities. I’m also a Marketing graduate from Colombia, and I’d be happy to share my language and culture with your family if you’re interested. I’d love to teach Spanish through everyday conversations, songs, books, or little things from Colombian culture in a fun and natural way. 👶 My childcare experience Right now, I work full-time taking care of a 11-month-old baby during the day, so I’m very comfortable with the everyday routine that comes with caring for a baby. I help with things like: • Bottles and meals • Diaper changes and getting dressed • Naps and bedtime routines • Tummy time and age-appropriate play • Reading, singing, and keeping the baby engaged • Going for walks and getting out of the house • Following the parents’ routine and instructions • Making sure the baby is always safe and comfortable Before my current job, I cared for a 2-year-old boy, and I’ve also babysat children of different ages. I also regularly babysit, including two sisters who are 3 and 5 years old. I’ve learned that every child is different. Some want to play nonstop, some need a little more patience when they’re tired, and sometimes the best part of babysitting is simply getting down on the floor and playing with them. I really enjoy that part of the job. ❤️ 🧸 What I enjoy doing with kids ⚽️ I don’t like babysitting to feel like I’m just “watching” a child. I like being involved with them and making the time together fun. Depending on their age and what they enjoy, I like doing things such as: • Arts and crafts 🎨 • Reading books 📚 • Drawing and coloring • Music and dancing 🎶 • Imaginative play • Going to the park or taking walks • Age-appropriate games • Helping with meals and snacks • Creating a calm routine before nap or bedtime I’m also happy to follow whatever routine parents already have at home. I know how important consistency is, especially for babies and toddlers. ❤️ A little more about me • CPR Certified ❤️‍🩹 • Fully vaccinated 💉 • Non-smoker 🚭 • Pet-friendly 🐾 • Spanish & English speaker 🇨🇴🇺🇸 • Marketing graduate 🎓 • Experienced with babies & toddlers 👶

“Valentina was amazing with our 11 month old daughter and dog, Buddy! She came in with such great energy and both of them immediately liked her. She was kind, caring and capable. She did an amazing job with dinner, playtime, bath and bedtime with our daughter. When we can home, Buddy was cuddling with her on the couch which he doesn’t always do with babysitters, so we also took that as a good sign :P We would definitely recommend and will be working with her again!”

Alexis $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Alexis and I’m from Oakland! I am currently taking a gap year from UC Berkeley while getting my certifications to become a certified personal trainer. During my free time I enjoy weight lifting, reading, baking, and anything music related. I also love animals, especially dogs :) I have 2+ years experience working with school aged kids through internships such as summer camps and at Highland Hospital. Moreover, I have 1.5 years experience as a babysitter/nanny. I’m also the oldest sibling in my family with a pretty big age gap between my siblings and I, so I grew up taking care of them very often! I am also CPR/AED certified. I believe it’s important to create a safe, stimulating, and stable environment for all children. As a result, I deeply value clear communication and empathy in a work space. Please reach out if you have any questions :)
