Renad San Mateo
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Renad, and I’m excited to apply for a babysitting position! I have several years of experience working with children of various age groups, from toddlers to pre-teens. I've spent time helping kids with their homework, especially in math and geometry, and I love seeing them gain confidence in subjects they once found difficult. In terms of child care, I provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, play, and grow. I enjoy doing creative and engaging activities like arts and crafts, story time, and indoor games. I’m especially good at helping with schoolwork and can provide tutoring in math if needed. I’m dependable, patient, and always keep communication open with parents. I’m also trained in basic child safety and have experience following routines, managing mealtimes, and handling bedtime routines. If you're looking for someone who’s caring, reliable, and can offer both childcare and academic support, I’d love to be considered! Although I’m a bit scared of dogs, I’m completely fine around cats.
