Cat San Francisco
$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.
