Booked by 1 family in Pleasant Hill, CA

Hello my name is Teri, I was raised in Alameda, I am the second oldest out of 4 children, growing up with 1 older brother an d 2 younger sisters, my youngest sister was born when I was nine so I was introduced to babies at a young age. Raised by a single mom she always instilled in me a strong work ethic. I worked for 20+ years in the Tech Industry (Medical Devices). As a Supervisor, Analyst and Health & Safety. Senior Care In 2017 I resigned from my job of 17 yrs and relocated to Arizona to live with my ailing father who lost his wife, he needed help with daily activities, cooking, cleaning, shopping, Dr appts. After his passing I moved to Oregon and semi-retired in 2020. Children While in Oregon I took a part time job with KIDSNW as a Personal Support worker. They work with the State to get help for families who have children with disabilities. I was placed with a family who has 7 yr old twins, I helped them with daily activities like dressing, reading, art projects, homework, playing games, playing outside. I also supported the parents with home chores and accompanied them on errands and watched the children on their date nights. Infants and Toddlers I helped a family in Alameda County 2 to 3 times a week for 5 yrs who had new born twins and a 3 yr old, I assisted with bathing, clothing, changing diapers, preparing bottles for the evening and helped parents with household duties. I am currently working with a family that has twins a boy and girl they had just turned 2 when I started with them. My duties are changing diapers, feeding, bathing, reading books, drawing taking them to the park to play they have alot of energy. I also help with household chores. I relocated to Contra Costa County to help out my sister recover after her surgery, now that she is feeling better I would like to resume working part time. My primary interest is finding part time steady work assisting families with young children. In my spare time I like to garden, walk my dog and go to the movies. I am a self-starter motivated person who is easy going, friendly, honest, dependable, respectful, and I like to think I have a good sense of humor. During challenging situations I can act calmly and with patience I am sure my life experience is the reason for this. I hope you will consider me for your child care needs. Best regards, Teri

“Ms. Teri took care of my son in the morning and helped him prepare for preschool while I was conducting conference calls. She was reliable, punctual, responsive, and trustworthy with a high sense of responsibility. My son was excited to see her every time. She even went above and beyond to help us tidy up the kitchen. We feel lucky to have met Teri. I would recommend her!”

While studying for my Bachelors, I worked at a daycare for four years.

Laura $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello I'm Laura. Recently returned from living abroad for several years. I am an educator and creative person by trade. I offer child care, senior care and pet care. Before becoming a teacher and trainer I babysat, took care of my elderly father and held various office jobs. Currently, between teaching jobs in public and private sector (primary , secondary and adult learners) I also help care for my elderly mother. I grew up with a dog and cats. Therefore, I'm comfortable caring for both children, seniors and pets. I also love animals. I have two cats and I'm not allergic to dogs, I love them too. When I have free time I volunteer, write, create artistic cards and try to learn something new every three -six months. I also use public transport to move around. If my profile fits your needs reach I'd love to hear from you. A presto, Laura
