Elena $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ellie, and I'm currently a senior at the Branson High School. I am headed to Carnegie Mellon in the fall and would love to help out with child and animal care before I go! I am certified in CPR & AED, and have a California driver's license (which I've had for 1.5 years). My experience is listed below. This past summer, I was a camp counselor at the Bay Club in Ross Valley, where I was co-responsible for a group of 15-20 kids, ages 5-10. I lead them in a variety of activities, including tennis, pickleball, swimming, and arts & crafts projects. I took care of kids’ dress, care, and food needs (serving them lunch, helping them change during transition times, making sure they had proper sun protection, etc). I will be a counselor again this coming summer. My sophomore year in high school, I was a volunteer tutor at Davidson Middle School. I taught a variety of school subjects one-on-one to middle school students (ages 11-13), goal set and planned out students’ calendars to maximize success, and collaborated with other tutors to create group study sessions based on subjects. My sophomore summer, I was a private volleyball coach for an independent family. Their daughter was an eighth grader who wanted help to make her high school team. I created over 20 custom lesson plans based on her needs and preferences, conducted tailored drills focused on technique, and offered consistent feedback and guidance on skills and performance. The summer after my freshman year, I was an assistant coach at summer clinics for Absolute Volleyball Club. I coached a team at an in-clinic tournament with third through sixth-grade girls, organized and implemented group drills focused on enjoyment and improvement, and collaborated with fellow coaches to engage different grades with one another. I also occasionally dog sit for my neighbor's puppy.

I love creating a safe, fun, and loving environment through educational activities, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and positive routines. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to the individual needs of each child. I’m also happy to assist with light meal prep, homework help, and keeping children’s areas organized.

Hello! My name is Carolina, I am 38 years old and live in North Bay. I am an IT professional and recently got laid off from work.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
