$26 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Rosi, I went to beauty school and currently I’m working as a part time esthetician. I offer child care, senior care, pet care and household services! I love to keep an organized space so I’m happy to do any household chores including cooking, cleaning, tidying up and running any errands :) My experiences with children include having watched over my niece and nephews (ages 8mo - 1yr) and helping out at summer camps (ages 5 - 12yrs). I have a dog of my own and have previously worked on another pet caregiver app! (I also love cats!)
Malia Daly City
$30 per hour for 1 child
$30 per hour for 1 child
Hello everybody! My name is Malia and I graduated with a degree in Family and Consumer Sciences in 2018. I worked at an infant/toddler daycare for a year and a half prior to the daycare closing due to the COVID 19 pandemic. I was then a nanny for 5 1/2 years for the same family who eventually ended up having 3 children during that time period so I have experience watching multiple children from both of those jobs. I took some time off work because I had my own child who is currently 6 months old so I’m looking to start working again now that my maternity leave has come to an end, ideally with a family who wouldn’t mind me bringing my daughter seeing as I’m her only source of care at this moment. Along with working with children, I also have experience working with older individuals as well as those who use mobility aids due to my time caring for my father after his stroke where he transitioned from using a wheelchair to now being able to use a walker.
