$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in La Mirada, CA

Hi! My name is Eloisa I am 25 years old. I've been working with kids since I was 14 years old. I am offering childcare. I've taken care of kids from the ages of 1 month- 13 years old. The children I cared for were mostly from family and friends. Recently I did take care of 2 kids outside of my family. Which I worked with them for a little over a year. My responsibilities were driving to/from school, light cooking, helping with homework, laundry, and driving them to their after school activities. As well as overnight stays when the parents needed to travel. I did a lot of activities with the kids such as take them out to the park, bowling, crafts, baking, and etc. I am very compassionate person, adaptable, patient, and willing to learn new things if needed. Aside from this job I have worked with multiple other kids ranging from 1 month old to 14 years old. Some being one time or occasional jobs which I have enjoyed doing. I can talk more about these experiences if needed it's just a lot to write it. I went back to school earlier this year and I took a few child development classes and I have in the past as well. :)

Maria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Maria! I have 10+ years of experience working with children, starting with family and growing through trusted referrals. I'm warm, patient, and reliable, and I love keeping kids engaged through crafts, outdoor play, reading, and creative activities while maintaining structure with routines like meals, homework, and bedtime. I'm a UCLA graduate and have worked as a behavioral technician with children on the autism spectrum, which has made me adaptable, attentive, and supportive of each child's unique needs. I'm comfortable with school drop-offs/pick-ups, light household tasks, and pets. I have reliable transportation and always prioritize safety, communication, and creating a positive environment for both kids and parents. I am CPR CERTIFIED.
