Alice $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a student at Columbia University with over five years of babysitting experience and currently work as a Senior Counselor at UC Berkeley's Explorer Camp, where I've spent the past two summers working with children ages 5–6. I'm CPR certified, have a reliable car and can provide transportation if needed, and I'm happy to help with housekeeping, meal prep, laundry, and other household tasks. I also grew up with multiple dogs, so I'm very comfortable caring for pets and am happy to help with them too! I'm fluent in English and comfortable speaking Spanish. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable care!
