$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lake Elsinore, CA

Hello! My name is Katie, I currently work as an early education tutor at Kumon in Aliso Viejo and have been an Art Instructor in Laguna Beach for the past three years, helping kids explore their creativity and build confidence. I’ve also worked in church nurseries since I was 12, where I’ve gained valuable experience caring for young children. Additionally, I’ve spent a lot of time caring for my younger brother, who is 9 years younger than me, ever since he was a baby. These experiences have taught me patience, creativity, and a love for working with kids! When I’m not working or studying, I enjoy spending my free time painting, going to the beach, and playing with my dog! I’d love to bring my care to your family!

“Katie was one of the best sitters we have ever had. Our four year old adored her. She brought art projects, made dinner, and brought a cheerful attitude to both days. We can’t wait to work with her again. ”

Ariana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ariana and I’m currently a sophomore in college. I am offering childcare ranging from any age, as well as some household services. I absolutely love being a babysitter and have been watching all age ranges since I was 13 years old. Mostly unpaid, since I truly just love kids! I would love go help with other tasks as well such as tutoring, driving to appointments/activities, tidying up, doing laundry, and even running errands! Another plus is I am bilingual! Fluent in Spanish and English. I am also happy to work with families that have pets.

I volunteer on Sundays and Wednesdays with my church. I have taken care of babies through 6th graders as well as some children who have had disabilities. I also grew up taking care of a family member with disabilities as well. I adore children and spending time and playing with them. I have also taken care of an older adult who was wheelchair bound. I do my best and take care of each child and adult with great care when I am on the job or volunteering. I also own a dog and have had experience taking care of pets.
