Booked by 1 family in Long Beach, CA

Hello! My name is Gianna! In December I graduated from California state university, Long Beach with a business degree. Currently I work at Whole Foods Market as a cake decorator in Long Beach. I am originally from the Bay Area and love to cook and bake. I have experience with all ages and senior care. Additionally I have worked with children with special needs directly. I don’t mind helping with homework and other house needs. I look forward to building a lasting relationship with the families I work with.

Gianna was fantastic, was able to come earlier than originally requested, my daughter enjoyed her company, as well as our dogs! I’ll hire again, so please don’t take my night! Lol

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Long Beach, CA

I am the oldest of seven children and an aunt of two. I've been caring for children since I was 13. My experience includes working at a daycare and several summer camps. I love all children, am patient, and strongly believe that children deserve the best. I believe children should express themselves and fun with their creativity, while also in a structured environment. No child is the same and they all need different care, I am excited to meet you and your little one(s). Hopefully we can get in contact soon.
