Zoie $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello I’m Zoie!! I really started working with kids when I was 14 years old. In my hometown, Clovis, CA, I was tutoring a couple kids, around age 10, with math and reading. When I was 16 I started a consistent nanny position with an 8 month old and a two year old. I would get there at 7am and get them up, dressed, and ready for the day. Throughout the day I was responsible for all meals and naps. When the kids were sleeping I’d do dishes for the family or tidy up common spaces. There was also a 5 year old that would join us when he didn’t have other activities scheduled. At this time I was also doing occasional babysitting jobs with kids from ages 3-9. I’ve enjoyed taking kids to the park for a change of scenery, or finding new ways to explore at home. I have always been theatrical which tends to be received well with kids and is a lot of fun for us both! I enjoy coloring and reading and all kinds of pretend play. I love having the kids involved with meal prep whenever possible, even if it’s just watching me and asking questions! One of my strongest qualities is patience, I have no problem answering a “why?” or “what is that?” 100 times a day! I see every moment as an opportunity to teach kids how to navigate the world with kindness and respect. I’m very excited to get involved with child care again here in LA!
