Vanessa $30 per hour for 1 child

Hey families! My name is Vanessa, I’m 20 years old and I’m a Spanish and English speaker. I’m currently a student at San Francisco State University, majoring in Child Development and Psychology. I’ve been caring for kids since I was 14 years old, starting with my younger cousins and my 5-year-old brother, who I helped look after while my parents worked. Making meals, putting them to bed etc. Besides that, I’ve also gained experience working at two daycares, and i have experience working as a teacher and supervisor at my church. I’m also employed as a Behavioral Technician for kids who have autism. Through all these experiences I realized how much I love helping kids learn, grow and feel supported. I really love and enjoy getting to know each child’s unique personality playing games, doing creative activities, helping with homework, or simply listening to them and what makes them happy. My goal is to build trust and connection, so your kid feels safe, cared for, and understood when they’re with me. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and create a fun, nurturing environment for your kids!

Hi everyone! I'm Tessa and I'm a recent grad from UC Santa Barbara who is originally from the Bay Area. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services.
