Jia Yong $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Jia and I am a recent graduate from San Francisco State University. I have an extensive background working with children, mainly grades K-6th. I have worked at an afterschool/summer program for 6 years (2 years volunteer, 4 years paid), looking after around 50 kids at a time. My roles there included chaperoning on daily park trips and weekly field trips, taking care of lunch and cleanup operations, as well as tutoring on math and English. My top priority is to always ensure the children are safe, but also to add some fun into their day! I understand that every child has different needs, so I’m always adapting and learning as I go. I can assist with cooking/meal prepping, cleaning, and running any errands as well if necessary. I also speak Mandarin and Cantonese!

Delilah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Delilah, and I am a dedicated and compassionate nanny with several years of hands-on childcare experience. I spent one year working as a nanny at Tiny Giants San Francisco, where I supported children in a nurturing, structured, and engaging environment before transitioning into private nannying. In addition to my childcare background, I work as a medical receptionist at a clinic and am currently a pre-nursing medical student at Contra Costa College. I also hold an Associate’s degree from San Francisco State University, which has strengthened my communication, organization, and responsibility skills—qualities I bring into every family I work with. I truly love working with children and take pride in creating a safe, loving, and positive space where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my Aussiedoodle, Bruno, who often joins me on my adventures. Caring for others is not just a job for me—it’s a passion, and I find so much joy in building meaningful connections through my career as a nanny.

Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, CA

Hi! My name is Nia and I currently work in tech as a marketer. I have experience working as a teacher assistant in Montessori schools with children aged 6 months to 5 years, as well as other various babysitting jobs. I can provide homework help, transportation to activities, crafts, and outdoor activities. I play soccer and the piano, so I can also help your child enrich their skills in either.

Dominique $30 per hour for 1 child

I recently moved back to the area and am seeking childcare opportunities. My ample experience with kids in both childcare settings and as a counselor make me uniquely qualified for any childcare position. I worked as a child trauma counselor for children of all ages for five years. This experience provided me with an astute ability to connect emotionally with children, understand their needs, and help them to feel safe. I have a Masters in Social Work and Bachelors in Psychology; and worked as a babysitter and nanny for various families while in school. While studying for my Bachelors, I worked at a daycare for four years. I have a year of experience providing behavioral therapy to children and teens with autism and/or developmental disabilities, in addition to caring for kids with special needs in nannying settings. I have adored developing strong bonds with children throughout my life.
