Michelle Long Beach
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Michelle, I recently transferred to California State University Dominguez Hills for my Bachelor's in Child Development. I also have my associates degree in Early Childhood Development from Long Beach City College. I currently work as a preschool teacher during the week but hope to become an elementary school teacher someday. I really enjoy working with children. I have worked with all ages from preschool to high schoolers. Before I was a preschool teacher I worked for a summer camp as Art Director facilitating different art activities with the different age groups. Some of my responsibilities have included supervising children, engaging with children in various activities, and maintaining a well organized and clean space Some of my favorite things to do are spending time outside, journaling and doing anything art related. I am able to do some housework like tighting up, putting toys away, light cooking and cleaning.

Claire Los Angeles
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’ve been a nanny for many wonderful families for 8 years now. I have primarily worked with children under 5 but have experience with all ages. I’m extremely passionate about children learning through play and exploration with limited screen time. This can be anything from imagination games to more structured academic play. I have a degree in theater from the Liverpool Institute for performing arts where I learned a great appreciation for a nice walk doing wonders for the soul. I am currently with a family with two boys three days out of the week but hoping to fill in a few more hours. I am CPR certified with a clean driving record.

Scott Huntington Beach
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Scott and I am a father of two very vivacious kids. As they are Twins, even more so! I can help with whatever is needed as I have probably done it already! I do also gravitate towards helping with any senior care. I had deaf grandparents so helping seniors has been ingrained in me since the beginning. I have a clean driving record and can help with any tasks, cleaning even cooking. I can also assist with any pet needs. I have always had dogs. Hope to help you soon!
