Alicia Andrea $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi , I'm 28 years old. I am patient, responsible, friendly, funny and honest person. I was an au pair in Florida for 2 years, I was take-caring 4 children at the same time, they gave me the best experience of my life. I have experience with newborns, toddlers and kids (6-7yo). I like to play with them, paint, draw, go to walk with them, crafts, etc. I have a clean driving record. I'm pet lover. No smoking. I can help you with kid's laundry, putting them in naps, prepare their food, clean up their toys and everything about your kid. My native language is Spanish, so if you are comfortable I can teach your kid a little bit Spanish, in the same way I learn from them, I'm still improving my English .

Booked by 1 family in Los Alamitos, CA

Hi I’m Skye! I am 18 years old and am ready for a job! It’s hard to find a job as a college student because I have not had a job in the past due to a busy schedule in high school and most jobs require past working experience. I would say I’m friendly and respectful and like to get the job done! I’m currently a student at Arizona State who is majoring in English but maybe child development in the future! I am looking to occasionally babysit only because I go back home to my home state for winter and summer break so keep that in mind! I think I want a job where I can pick up kids from school and watch them for a few hours or when parents want to go on a date night!

Chelsea $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Chelsea. I am 20 years old and a current college student at CSULB. Originally, I am from Riverside, where I get most of my babysitting experience. Professionally I worked with several companies that provide childcare to several different types of children, including those with learning and physical disabilities. I currently work with the YMCA at an elementary school. In this role, I am responsible for 20 students, making sure they complete their homework and providing snacks/supper and enrichment lessons to further their education. Education is very important to me as someone working with kids. Outside of childcare, I do have experience with small dogs and cats and have no problem providing household services. I look forward to working with you and your family. :)
