Elizabeth $24 per hour for 1 child

hello! :-) I’m a 20 year old psychology major at SFSU and plan on going into private practice with adolescents. Im also part of Alpha Gamma Delta- where we advocate for fighting hunger- at school. Im originally from Southern California and am the oldest daughter of two little sisters and also have two older brothers. I cared for my little sisters until I graduated, babysat around my hometown neighborhood, as well as my little sisters dance coachs’ daycare. I’ve also volunteered at an after school program as a group leader! I’m a sympathetic being and appreciate the privilege of getting to know tiny humans and care for them. With these experiences, I am strong with patience, time efficient, carry a playful but responsible attitude and have developed problem solving skills! I also work at a community toy store! a little more about me is I own a pup and on my free time I enjoy taking him on walks, reading, journaling, exploring the city, coloring, going to the beach, throwing picnics, catch up with my grandmother and attending the aquarium or live music events happening near me. Thank you for reading this far, hope to chat soon! 💌

Christiana $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a thorough background in childcare and working with children. I was a camp counselor at the Burlingame Parks and Recreation Adventure camp for 5 years and have been CPR certified twice. I am passionate and love to see children learn and grow throughout my time with them. I like to create a fun environment with the potential to ask questions, be curious and have fun as all children should. I am studying Biology so I love to expose children to the outdoor, information about our environment and other fun animal facts to further enrich their experience. I can’t wait to meet you all and share my kindness, passion and enthusiasm with you!

Hi! I’m Abbie and I am in my junior year at San Francisco State University and I am majoring in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Elementary School Teaching and minoring in Special Education. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have worked at an after school day care (ages 5-12) for 2 years while I was in high school and at an early childhood education center (ages 2-3) while I am at school. I am also currently working at an after school program with students from TK to 8th grade. I have also babysat children of all ages numerous times since I was 14. I enjoy doing many activities with children like crafts, playing outside, reading books, playing games, etc. I have also pet sit animals including dogs, cats, and goats and I am able to walk, feed, and play with any animal. I have a standard poodle at home named Charley and petsitting might help me miss him a little less.
