Booked by 6 families in El Segundo, CA

Hi! My name is Reem, I am currently a freshman in college but love to do babysitting on the side! I have loads of professional experience with kids of all ages. Some of my experience includes assistant soccer coaching, taking child development in high school, interning at a preschool and working as a special education assistant teacher. I also took care of my special needs brother from time to time! I can do pretty much anything you need like light housekeeping, homework, prepping snacks, taking kids outside, etc. I’m patient, understanding, can work in a fast paced environment and overall loving! Sometimes all a kid needs is someone to talk to or for someone to listen to them, which I am always willing to do!

Reem was a great sitter!! My 18 mo old took right too her and she was so engaging with him the whole time. We will def hire her again.

Hello there, I'm Elis! I am a caregiver specialized in early childhood development. I've been working with kids all ages for over 8 years now. In Brazil, where I’m from, I’ve worked as a teacher and manager of an English school for two years and a half, before moving to US, in this past experience, I've had the chance to learn about pedagogy, early childhood learning and educational activities with focus on learning while having fun. I have taken neuroscience courses mostly as a hobby, but I’m very passionate about mental health, and having in mind the importance of a healthy childhood, I do my best to always lead with kindness and empathy, while dealing with kids. I love singing, act, arts, crafts, and I consider myself a very active and creative person. I'm very patient and able to adapt to different types of schedules, kids tend to adapt really well with me. I'm very committed to my job and consider punctuality something essential, even though I can be flexible and I'm always open to suggestions of how to improve my services. I believe that everything can be easily solved with communication, respect and kindness, as we are a team, working together with the goal of providing the best possible care for your little one. I'm looking forward to hear from you, let me know if you have any specific questions. Thank you! (FYI: Covid vaccinated)

Elis was so sweet and my daughter had a great time with her. Would definitely have her back.

During the summers, I work as a head counselor and program coordinator at a sleep away camp for ages 8-17. I love cooking, and planning activities for children to do after school.
