Booked by 1 family in Canyon, CA

Hi! I’m Claudia, a caring and dependable childcare professional with 10+ years of experience working with children and families. I have a BA in Psychology and a background in education, teaching, literacy intervention, behavioral support, and long term nannying. I’ve worked with children from newborns through their teenage years and have experience with homework, reading, school routines, activities, transportation, and everyday care. I’ve also worked as a family assistant, helping with the day to day needs of busy families. I’m organized, patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy working with children. I love creating a balance of structure and fun through reading, games, outdoor activities, crafts, and learning. I especially enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and finding activities they are excited about. I also speak English and Spanish fluently and have knowledge of Portuguese. I’m currently looking for occasional and weekend childcare opportunities and would love to be a dependable extra set of hands for your family!

“very capable and kind. prompt and helpful.”

Alex $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Alex, I have been working at a daycare for the past 2 years and I absolutely love working with kids of all ages. I love the one on one time with the kids the most and that is why I am looking for a change of pace. I absolutely love the great outdoors and doing creative things to help further the children’s development. I’ve been wanting to spend more one on one time with a few kids at a time so that I can really connect with them and watch them grow as little humans.
