$23 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am an aspiring elementary teacher, and am currently substitute teaching Mondays- Fridays. I am primarily looking for caregiving jobs that coincide with typical school break schedules (i.e full time gig in the summer, winter break, spring break, etc). I love kids, and am great with pets as well. I also enjoy cooking as my main passion/ hobby outside of education, so I am more than capable of helping with meals/ meal prep. Please reach out if my availability/ skill set aligns with your family’s needs!

I have been working with kids for over 10 years and I am a mother myself. I am very caring, empathetic, and I love taking care of kids. I speak fluent English and Portuguese, and some Spanish and French as well. I would be also glad to cook as well and doing some cleaning if needed. I am very reliable and do my job with professionalism and love.

Hey there parents, my name is Ashley. I graduated from San Diego State University with my BA in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences. My degree is highly focused on childrens’ language development and because of this, I really enjoy spending time with children. I have two years experience an a Behavioral Therapist for children on the Autism Spectrum and 8 years experience as a nanny for infants and toddlers primarily. CPR and First Aid certified for all ages. I’m very passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can grow, explore, and develop. I have extensive experience managing daily routines such as feedings, naps, developmental play, and age-appropriate activities. If you are seeking a trustworthy, experienced, and loving caregiver look no further. I’ve maintained long-term relationships with many families I’ve worked with. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to see how I can assist your family :) ***Note: I have a 4 hour minimum for all bookings and if a job is at a hotel you are responsible for parking fees. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice must be paid in full. I budget based on bookings and when a booking is cancelled without prior notice it directly affects my budget. Please be understanding as this is my livelihood.***

Hi parents! I work as a nanny for a family already but would love to talk about occasional opportunities when I’m available! I have experience with working with kids as a babysitter, nanny, respite worker and behavior therapist working with children anywhere from four months old to eighteen years old. I have around 3 years of experience working with kids with developmental disabilities including nonverbal kids with AAC or PECS devices. I’m very outgoing and love going to farmers markets, a park, Legoland (have a yearly membership since I go with my niece so much) or anywhere really! I also love to be at home sometimes to relax and read, build lego sets or participate in creative hobbies! I love doing puzzles, magnet tiles, building forts and basically anything the kids love to play. I have two large dogs and a cat so I’m experienced with taking care of animals and always willing to learn for any other animal to help take care of them! I’d be happy to help with pick ups/drop offs, taking kids to the park or elsewhere and getting to know your kids hobbies so I can make sure to have fun stuff for us to do and talk about while I babysit. I would be open to discussing how I can help you with daily life while babysitting as well! Please feel free to reach out with occasional opportunities!

Kiara was incredible with our baby. Very attentive to his needs and made us as parents feel very comfortable.
