Vitoria $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Vitória, but everyone calls me Vivi. I’m currently based in the Bay Area and I’m offering child care, pet care and householdcare. I have experience with children of various ages. In my home country, I worked in a school caring for and supporting young children in their daily routines, learning, and play. Here in the US, I have two years of daily experience caring for children, and it's something I truly love. I'm patient, responsible, and always ready to create a fun, safe, and loving environment for the little ones. I also have experience caring for pets, such as walking dogs and helping with their daily needs, always making sure that the pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I'm patient, responsible, very affectionate and always ready to create a fun, safe, and loving environment for the little ones. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and proactive, I'd love to connect!

Marina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Marina. I am an energetic, responsible, and detail-oriented person offering child care, pet care, and household services. For child care, I enjoy engaging kids of all ages in creative outdoor activities, active play, painting, and arts and crafts. I'm also happy to help with creative. When it comes to pet care, I come from a family with 4 dogs and 5 cats, so pet care comes naturally to me. I love animals of all sizes and breeds, including large dogs and pets that shed. I can help with dog walking (especially long outdoor walks!), feeding, playing, and general care. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to help your family!

Hello! My name is Maya, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be considered to work with your family. I am 24 years old and have been caring for children since my teenage years, with over three years of professional experience. Since 2022, I have worked at a camp serving children with serious medical conditions, where I have developed strong caregiving, communication, and safety-focused skills.

I currently live in Marin, hold a bachelor’s degree in public health, and am working toward a career in the healthcare field. I hold a valid driver's license and own a car. Additionally, I have worked as a lifeguard for the past five years and am certified in CPR/First Aid.
