Cat $35 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I'm Cat! I work in after-school child care and I am highly energetic and passionate about working with kids. When working with children, I am great at having a balance between discipline and being gentle and kind. I lead with empathy and strive to understand what your child is feeling instead of reacting. I believe that everyone deserves to express their feelings even though they may not know how to express them. I love playing games, planning activities, and keeping kids engaged and off their screens! I am also a great cook and love to make healthy snacks or meals that children will enjoy. Having my own younger siblings makes me a great candidate to take care of others because I always think about how I would want my own family to be treated. I will always treat others with care and respect.
Tessa $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi everyone! I'm Tessa and I'm a recent grad from UC Santa Barbara who is originally from the Bay Area. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I get along great with kids and have been babysitting/nannying since I was in high school. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and young kids, but am open to all ages! I have helped with school pick-up/drop-off, tutored, improvised fun games, and facilitated many a crafts! I grew up with three dogs, a cat, hamsters, and chickens, so I feel quite comfortable around most pets. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. Please let me know if you have any questions for me!
