Brooke
My childcare experience started as a teenager. Since then all the kids I’ve taken care of have been through friends and family. I am looking to find families that want an upbeat, bright, smiling face to help out with their babies!

Theyshani
My journey started with two years in a daycare setting, where I learned the "nuts and bolts" of childcare. This is where i learned patience, safety, and how to handle those unpredictable moments with a calm heart. But beyond the professional experience, I’m simply someone who truly loves kids. I believe every child deserves a babysitter who is genuinely excited to see them. I’m naturally upbeat and high energy, and I love bringing that "spark" to the families I work with. Whether we’re building the world’s tallest blanket fort, reading favorite stories for the tenth time, or just chatting about their day, I aim to be a supportive, fun, and reliable presence in your home. I know how important your little ones are to you, and I promise to care for them with the same warmth, laughter, and attention I’d want for my own family. I can't wait to meet you and your kiddos!

Faith
I pour my heart into my role as an Infant and Toddler Teacher, with over 3 years of experience caring for little ones from 6 weeks to 5 years old. I hold a Child Development degree and am excited to begin my journey in Nursing school this spring, blending my knowledge of early education with a future focus on child health. I thrive on bringing joy and happiness into their precious lives, creating engaging activities just for them, and cherishing every moment I get to watch each child grow, learn, and blossom.

I’ve tutored middle school math back when I was in high school for a few months. I now work for the Hayward School district for an after school program as teacher. I work with 2nd and 3rd graders, so children around 7-9. I’ve worked with preschoolers and kindergarteners as well. My job is to create fun activities for kids to do on a daily basis as well as help with any homework assignments.

Hi! My name is Mariama (or Mari for short), and I’m a college student who loves working with kids. I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for my younger siblings and cousins, and I also volunteer at a local school, helping with classroom activities and supporting younger students. I’m responsible, patient, and enjoy keeping kids engaged through fun, creative, and safe play. Whether you need a dependable sitter for a night out or occasional help, I’d love to be someone you can count on!
