Hi! My name is Nazrin. I’m a lab manager for the Dunn Lab at UCSF Mission Bay. I love working with kids so I also work part-time at Christ Church East Bay. With a background in science, I enjoy tutoring and reading with children to support their vocabulary and development. I have experience caring for school-aged kids, pre-school, and toddlers. I’d be more than happy to look after younger children as well if given a chance/training. I’m reliable, patient, and always strive to create a safe and positive environment where kids can learn and have fun!
I have a strong caregiving background shaped by years of hands-on experience with children, seniors, and pets. I grew up helping care for my younger sister, who is now 17, as well as several younger cousins, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a safe, fun environment for kids of different ages. I also have experience in senior care, most meaningfully, I cared for my great-grandpa when he was 92. Supporting him with daily tasks, companionship, and mobility needs, helped me develop empathy, attentiveness, and the ability to stay calm and supportive in sensitive situations. I am also very comfortable with pets. I have two cats and a dog of my own, so I am used to feeding schedules, walks, and playtime. and managing different personalities and energy levels. Overall, I am reliable, compassionate, and easy to communicate with. I am naturally patient detail detail-oriented, and respectful of family routines. whether it is helping with kids, seniors, pets, or household tasks. I bring a positive attitude to caregiving for every role.
Hi! I am currently a college student with 3 years of experience babysitting 2 toddlers at the same time. I am able to speak both Vietnamese & English, as well as tutor in English and Math. I am also able to drive around in the parents car if transporting the kids is needed. Please reach out!
| Bilingual in Spanish and have a car | Hi, there! I’m Zulma. I am offering childcare and household services. I grew up being the baby of my family until high school when my little sibling was born. Afterwards, my oldest sibling had my niece and nephew, so I started taking care of and watching over younger ones since I was 15. I currently work full-time in the non-profit sector. I was previously working in the youth sector in the East Coast and miss my kiddos! I have experience running fun events, tutoring & mentoring, driving to/from locations, preparing meals for children, and many other responsibilities. I grew up with many cats throughout my childhood and currently have one of my own, so I am comfortable handling them. Additionally, I grew up helping my mom in her housecleaning job, so I always make sure to leave a place better than it was left. Open to chatting with folks. Thank you!
I am a 4th year college student studying Film and Business Administration. While childcare is not my long-term career path, I have always loved working with kids and families and I've been babysitting for families in my neighborhood since I was in high school. I have a warm and bubbly personality, I'm energetic, and love engaging with children through their hobbies and interests. I enjoy portraiture, model-making, and jewelry-making, so I'm great with arts and crafts and creative activities. I'm neat, organized, patient, and happy to help with cooking and cleaning if needed. Additionally, I have pet sitting experience and am comfortable working with/around animals .

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
Lila P., parent

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
