Virginia $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a passionate and fun mom and grandma. I have cared for my grandchildren (now 11, 8, and 3) since they were born. I have a Master's in Social Work and have had a long career in child welfare (foster care and adoption), helping nurture children's physical, emotional and psychological needs. I also worked in an elementary school providing health care back-up, office assistance, and classroom help. I have always been an animal lover. I have had dogs and cats and have provided care for pets, both occasionally and for long periods when their owners were on vacation. I am comfortable feeding, playing, walking, and administering meds. I would also love to provide companionship for seniors and am genuinely interested in their stories and unique points of view. I have a car and can provide reliable and safe transportation.

Adira $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Adira and I'm currently a junior at UC Davis. I am majoring in psychology and minoring in education. I am offering child care. I love being a babysitter and helping out with kids extracurriculars. I also worked as a summer camp counselor where I had the opportunity to be the primary care-taker for campers ranging from 3rd to 10th grade. Through our counselor training, I have learned how to refocus attention, play engaging games, and help kids maintain routine. I also have a lot of experience settling in kids having difficulty falling asleep. I also love theater, and have volunteered for many youth shows, so getting to sing and dance with kids is my favorite! I am happy to aid with homework and study! I am also certified in Adult and Pediatric CPR/AED & First Aid.

Helen $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a patient, responsible, and caring person who genuinely loves spending time with children. I’m creative and enjoy doing arts and crafts, baking, cooking, and finding fun activities to keep kids engaged. I’m also very attentive and adaptable to each child’s individual personality, needs, and routines. Being a lifeguard and swim instructor taught me to prioritize safety and stay calm in unexpected situations, while my experience babysitting children of different ages, including children with special needs, has made me patient and understanding. I’m also the middle of three girls, so I’ve always enjoyed being around kids and understand the importance of being a supportive and dependable role model.
