Hi, my name is Vasty (She/Her/Ella). I am currently a fourth-year majoring in Biochemistry, with a minor in Early Childhood Studies — hoping to pursue pediatric ophthalmology! Personal hobbies of mine include band, lacrosse, and painting.
I’ve been working with children for ~7 years, and have been watching newborns, toddlers, or kids since I was 14. I have a little brother (11) who I help out with consistently, and helped extensively during covid. As a full time student, I tend to help out more with occasional/ date night bookings during the school year but am always more available in the summer time. I enjoy crafting, going to the park, and cooking/baking. My responsibilities have included tutoring, crafts, dance lessons, and several more.
🌟I am bilingual (English and Spanish)
🌟CPR certified for infants and adults.
🌟Can provide references
🌟TB, Tdap, MMS, COVID-19 Vaccinated
🌟CNA, HHA Certified (CA only)
I do not have any allergies to any pets.
I have a cat so if there are any allergies, please let me know so I can assure no trace of cat hair etc.
🚨Booking Policies🚨
-Cancellations after booking require 50% of pay. Cancellations within 24 hours/same day require 100% of pay. *Applies to last-minute bookings and sick days as well*
-Minimum of 4 hours per booking. (Trial runs excluded for this).
-Full time of booking must be payed for, even if you come home early.
-Please text me immediately if running late. Communication is key. I allow a 10-min grace period. After that, a fee of $1/minute applies, retroactive to the end time. Extensions are not guaranteed due to prior commitments.
-Family shares (children from different families) are billed at a different rate.
-For jobs over 40+ minutes away, I ask to be reimbursed for travel time.
-I do not provide transportation with my personal vehicle but I’m happy to drive the guardian/parents car if needed.
-I respect your family’s privacy. I will never post photos or videos of your children on social media or share them with others.
-I am happy to clean up after any activities we do and wash the dishes we use during the shift. I do not provide heavy household cleaning, deep scrubbing, or general family laundry.
-I do not care for sick children to protect myself and other children I take care of. This includes children with a fever over 101°F, any contagious virus, and any other symptoms.
Thank you for understanding 😊
“Vasty was a wonderful babysitter for my son and his cousin! She showed up on time and my 19 month old immediately took a liking to her. She had no problem entertaining both boys, getting them dinner, and putting the youngest to bed. If we lived in the area, she would be our go to!”
