Khloe $15 per hour for 1 child

My name's Khloe and I'm currently a sophomore student pursing a Bachelor degree in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, majoring in 'Environmental Policy Analysis and Planning' and pursuing a minor in 'Education'. I really enjoy arts and crafts, reading, and going outside on various long walking adventures. I especially love drawing and would love to share this love with other people. I'm an extroverted person and love getting to know new people, making friends is not a difficult challenge for me! If I were to describe myself with 3 words I would use, creative, bubbly, and forward! I have been involved with babysitting care since the age of 8, from being an assistant to older family members who were babysitting to having the responsibility of doing it on my own for either siblings or close family friends. I come from a family with a younger brother and sister so to a degree I have been able to "work" with "children" to the ages of 16. I can show empathy during emotional difficulty, be a middleman between arguments and enforce authority while maintaining a friendly relationship. I am adept in creating nutritious meals (Chinese and American being my primary cuisine), as well as cleaning, administering basic first aid, and leading non-technological play experiences. I also have a base understanding of pet care as my family has owned dogs before. I have also been officially employed as a summer camp counselor for AIW (Adventures in Writing) as a teacher's assistant for the first grade. There, some of my responsibilities included enforcing safe behavior, emotional regulation, monitoring meal times, playing with the children, and making sure everyone was having a good time! Although my primary position was with children between the ages of 5-7, I have also been in charge of the care for children to the ages of 13. Unofficial non-familial experience includes being a youth leader at various summer and after school camps, where I would lead and watch over children primarily in grades 1-3.

Carly $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Carly! I’m a second-year student at UC Davis, looking for babysitting, pet-sitting, or housework in the area. Most of my experience working with kids so far has been volunteer work in schools (primarily kinder and 2nd-5th grades) and camps (both daytime and overnight, mostly ages 8-14). I’m trained in CPR and first aid. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and occasionally chickens, and I have done some overnight dog/house sitting as well. I’m currently studying Human Development, hoping to become a pediatric occupational therapist and children’s novelist. I dance, juggle, play trumpet and baritone ukulele, cook/bake, garden, and knit. I love books (especially Roald Dahl), and I’m happy to read aloud. I’m patient and studious, and have plenty of experience helping with homework. I love kids of all ages and animals of all kinds, and I am always ready to learn something new.

Amelia $12 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Amelia and I am a third year pre-education student at UC Davis. My dream is to become a TK or Kindergarten teacher after I complete my undergraduate degree. I am offering child care and household services. I love working with children in all contexts. I was an on-call babysitter for a 7 year old and toddler during my junior and senior year of high school. Here, I handled dinnertime, bathtime, and bedtime. Additionally, during my employment at the Ojai Valley Inn, I frequently worked with young children from young toddlers to teenagers, to create arts and crafts, such as candle making, soap making, and painting. I also have experience in my own life, watching over my younger siblings and cousins, ages ranging from 3-7 years old. Additionally, I am a member of the Prytanean Women's Honor Society at UC Davis and have volunteered frequently in partnership with the UC Davis Transfer and Reentry Center to provide activities and entertainment for children (ages ranging 4-10) of UC Davis students, such as painting, playground supervision, and board games. I am also happy to cook and clean as part of my services.
