Cassandra $30 per hour for 1 child

I studied Engineering at San José State University and have several years of experience working with children. I worked as an after-school STEM Educator in the Santa Clara School District at an elementary school, where I taught kids basic engineering concepts through hands-on activities, building projects, and problem-solving exercises. I enjoyed making learning fun while helping students develop creativity, teamwork, and confidence. I also worked as a YMCA instructor, teaching children basketball and soccer. I’m patient, responsible, energetic, and enjoy creating a safe and positive environment where kids can learn and have fun.

Michael $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Michael! I am currently an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who spends a lot of time working with kids, loves animals, and lives in the Outer Sunset! As a therapist, I work with kids of all ages and backgrounds. I have experience working with Autism and ADHD. I am currently looking to make some extra money while I pursue licensure as a therapist and would love to support my community by helping them care for the kids and pets they love! In my free time, I love to read, go on runs, play video games, and spend time with my girlfriend and our dog, Betty. I like to have fun and keep things light. I would be happy to help you with babysitting, pet-sitting, dog-walking, house-cleaning, whatever!
