Stevana San Mateo
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Evie and I am 21 years old. I am a student at Cañada College majoring in Social Work. My passions include working with kids, art, and cooking. My five years of professional childcare experience include working summer camps, being a teachers assistant, working at two daycares, babysitting, and tutoring. I have worked with kids of all ages. When I show up for work I will always show up prepared. I often will plan crafts and activities that the kiddo will like. In the past I've taken my kiddos to the park. I am happy to cook, clean, and provide transportation regularly or as needed. I also am happy to help with homework. I have a safe car and a clean driving record. I hope you consider me as an option to be your babysitter!
