Hello! I’m Adria, a 23 year old Doula student who’s responsible, fun, caring, organized, and dependable. I have lots of experience working with multiple children at a time, ranging from all ages. I also have experience with toddlers with special needs as well as preschool teaching experience. Some of my favorite activities to do with children are, safe playtime, arts and crafts, imaginative play, reading and helping out with any class or homework. My specialties include, communication, respect and being extremely resourceful. I am CPR certified and background checked.I can’t wait to work with you and I hope to make your life a little easier.

I am a compassionate and energetic sitter who is excited about making sure your child gets the best care possible, has fun, and learns new things! I have a background in environmental education and particularly love spending time with children outdoors and teaching them about the natural world. That being said, I want to meet you where you are at to ensure your child receives the best care that resonates with you. I have CPR + First Aid certification and am excited to create a safe, fun, and supportive that matches your family's needs.

I have been a private career nanny for multiple families (for ages 7 months and up) for over 14 years now, as well as a daycare teacher assistant and an Au Pair. I connect very well with children; I enjoy working with the magical little beings because I’m inspired by their contagiously high-spirits and spontaneous creativity! I offer children an abundance of presence and play. I encourage nature-based exploration, creativity cultivation, and problem-solving. I draw inspiration from elements of alternative education philosophies, but I’m mostly interested in letting the child lead while I provide the appropriate boundaries and guidance. Each child is so unique, and my goal is to facilitate their unfolding. I would be a good fit for your family if you are looking for a responsible nanny with a good heart, an authentic appreciation for kids, and someone who will provide a positive contribution to their development.

Hello! My name is Kira, I’m a recent UCSC psychology graduate, EMT, circus teacher, and aspiring nurse. I LOVE working with kids! I grew up in Berkeley, CA and started babysitting at around 13 years old. By age 16 I was involved with over 12 families with up to 3 children. I have worked as a counselor and performing arts skills teacher at Camp Winnarainbow (a sleep-away summer camp for kids ages 7-14) for the past 5 summers, and volunteered as a “teen leader” for 2 before that. I’m experienced in pet care, semi-fluent in Spanish, and love to cook! I’m located in Berkeley and am looking for families that need occasional childcare. Although I have experience with all age groups, I have a special place in my heart for caring for infants and toddlers:) I’m happy to share my resume, references and answer any other questions.

Hello! I'm Myla, and I've been doing childcare work for 5 years, though the first 3 were volunteer. I like tutoring the most because of the growth seen in children. I worked as an ELOP Tutor (basically an after-school teacher) for Morongo Unified School District for a year. I also enjoy babysitting because of the time I get to spend learning about a child and their interests, and I love pets! I also have my own vehicle, but it only seats 3 (including the driver). I was certified as a lifeguard in 2024 and am recently CPR and first-aid certified.

I have been working with children for the past two years, and I truly love it. Working with kids has helped me grow both personally and professionally, and I feel that I continue to improve every day. I enjoy supporting children’s development, creating a safe and nurturing environment, and building positive relationships with the families I work with.
