$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Montara, CA

Hi! I'm Maya, a senior at Chapman University studying Computer Science and Neuroscience. I am looking for a part time job for the summer. I've been babysitting for 7 years, mostly with elementary-aged kids. My responsibilities have included driving kids to/from activities, crafts, and light cleaning/cooking. I also have two younger siblings, 11 and 19, and being a big sister has taught me patience and empathy. I enjoy the wild imagination that kids have as well as their endless amounts of energy! I'm warm, responsible and make it my first priority to create a safe and positive environment for the kids I care for.

Maya was wonderful with our children. She helped them bring art projects to life, she helped them eat their vegetables, she was gentle and kind with skinned knees. We hired her for a summer babysitting job and got to know her over three months. I highly recommend her!!

Hi all, I am a graduate student and have just finished 8 years as a high school teacher. I have over 10 years of childcare experience and I am looking for a family to support as I complete my graduate program. I have experience working with families with kids ranging in age from newborn-teens. In the past I have managed a summer camp, taught outdoor education, worked as a full-time nanny, and now I am a teacher. I am active, caring and creative and enjoy spending time outside, crafts, cooking, and more. I am looking forward to getting to know your family!

I have a degree in Psychology from UFRJ (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro), in Brazil. When I first came to the U.S.(96) I was a stay at home mom. my kids were 7 and 2. I've been working with kids (other than mine) since 2003. I have been serving and helping families with children ranging in ages from 4 months to 6 years old. I think it's fun and very rewarding to see any child grow, and I'm happy and proud to be a part of a child's development, as well as give parents a helping hand in their journey of raising their children.
