Hi! I'm looking for one or two part-time babysitting jobs in Berkeley. I'm going to be a sophomore at UC Berkeley this fall and am completing an internship with San Francisco Department of Public Health over the summer. I have over 5 years of paid childcare experience with kids ages 1 and up. Last summer, I was an assistant instructor at a LEGOs robotics camp for elementary and middle school children. I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid & CPR certified. Additionally, my father is a 5th grade teacher and I've been volunteering in his classroom for over a decade, leading art lessons and providing homework assistance for students. I am a good driver with a clean record, however, I don’t have my car in Berkeley. So, I am very comfortable on BART and other forms of public transportation.

Hi, I’m a French student here for an exchange and I don’t have many classes so that’s means a lot of free time. During this free time I would love to be of assistance to you. I’m a French and American so no worries I am bilingual.

Hi! I’m passionate about helping kids thrive both academically and emotionally. I hold an undergraduate degree in English and love making homework time less stressful and more fun. I’ve worked as a behavior technician and have years of experience supporting children and families in a variety of settings. In 2018, I volunteered as a youth baseball coach, and I continue to bring that same energy, patience, and encouragement to everything I do. I value clear communication, creativity, and creating a positive experience for both kids and parents.

I’ve always been drawn to working with children because I genuinely enjoy who they are—curious, honest, creative, and constantly learning. I studied psychology, which gave me a strong foundation in child development, emotional regulation, and understanding behavior with empathy rather than punishment. I’m especially attentive to children’s emotional worlds and take pride in creating a space where they feel safe, understood, and encouraged to be themselves.Art is a big part of my life, and I love bringing creativity into caregiving—whether that’s drawing, crafting, storytelling, or simply helping kids express their feelings in nonverbal ways. I find that creativity helps children build confidence and problem-solving skills, and it also makes everyday routines more joyful. Families I’ve worked with have appreciated my calm presence, reliability, and ability to connect deeply with their children. I’m patient, playful, and intuitive, but also structured when it comes to routines, boundaries, and safety. I take my role seriously and see caregiving as both a responsibility and a privilege. I truly love supporting children as they grow into confident, kind, and curious humans.Skills: Art, Digital Art (photoshop), Cooking, Homework Help (UC Berkeley-grad)
