Kate $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kate, and I’d love to support your family with reliable, attentive, and engaging part-time childcare, including evenings and weekends. I currently work full-time at a family law center and truly enjoy working with children and families. I’m a Colgate University graduate and an incoming student at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. I have extensive tutoring and babysitting experience, along with a lifetime of hands-on childcare from growing up with three younger siblings. I am also lifeguard certified and have previous experience as a swimming instructor. I’m responsible, patient, and organized, and I prioritize creating a safe, positive environment, whether that means helping with homework, doing crafts, playing outdoors, reading together, or supporting bedtime routines. I also bring strong academic support experience, including homework help, organization, and study skills. I specialize in standardized test preparation and college readiness (177 LSAT, 34 ACT), but always tailor my approach to each child’s age and learning style. Families describe me as dependable, communicative, and calm under pressure. I’m happy to assist with light tidying, simple meal prep, and maintaining household routines. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Sophia $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Montrose, CA

Hi! I’m Sophia 🌿 I have twenty years of experience working with children in a variety of settings—supporting kids on the autism spectrum (ages 2–18), working as a summer camp counselor teaching kayaking, and spending summers working at a beach camp in Santa Monica with kids ages 3–13. As well as an away camp working with kids of all ages for a summer when I was 18. I’ve also assisted in a Montessori classroom for ages 3–6 and have two sweet nephews (Ray Ray, 12, and Theo, 8) whom I adore and have helped care for regularly. I have been babysitting for different families since I was 12 years old. I studied psychology at the University of Colorado Boulder, where I developed a deep love for the outdoors. Whether I’m hiking, biking, or surfing, being in nature is a big part of my life. I love working with children because it brings out my playful and nurturing side. I’m known for being calm, kind, and grounded, and I bring a lot of presence and care into the spaces I hold with kids. Friends and colleagues often describe me as genuine, patient, and full of heart. Fun facts about me: I love swing dancing, singing circles, and playing the ukulele. I’m also a certified Reiki Master and integrative health coach and run a coaching business focused on healing and personal growth. I bring emotional attunement, nervous system regulation and loving presence into my childcare. I’m currently looking for a summer position and am available until mid-September. Looking forward to connecting with you and your family!
