Booked by 15 families in Winnetka, CA

Hello my name is Lindsay, I am currently a graduate student in the Masters of Social Work program at California State University, Northridge. Besides having to take care of all my younger cousins, I have work experience in elementary, middle, and high school levels in the education system. Additionally, I have experience with tutoring kids in math, english and science. I love being around children and have worked as a coach at multiple basketball clinics because they are so fun to be around. I have experience with taking care and babysitting infants, toddlers, and teenagers. I feel very confident with caring for children due to the various settings I’ve been able to work in. I am very patient and caring and would ensure that every child I watch is taken care of. I love to make sure that every kid I watch is happy and comfortable. I am also able to help tutor kids in primary school as well as middle school. Furthermore, I am also very organized and love to do housekeeping work. Besides taking care of the children, I am willing to help the parents with any other tasks they need to get done that they don't have time to do. I hope I can help with any families that may need an extra hand! Thank you for your time and consideration!

Hi! My name is Sydney and I am college graduate from Brandeis University and have recently graduated from Parker University. I have been babysitting since I was 14. I am CPR/First Aid/AED certified for children and infants. I played collegiate and international softball, so I can definitely handle an active child. I love children of all ages. I worked in a daycare from 2[removed] in Massachusetts in the 2-3-year-old classroom. In addition to children, I also adore animals. I have been a Wag Walker for 4 years, but I also volunteered at an animal rescue for years. I have two dogs, a cat, and a turtle so I can (and will) comfortably care for your animals!

Fantastic! Great communicator and my kids loved her!

Booked by 3 families in Winnetka, CA

Hi! My name is Serena and I'm a recent grad from San Francisco State University. I majored in Child & Adolescent Development with a concentration in School Age Child & Family. During college I was an afterschool nanny for 4 years for the same family, providing transportation to activities, helping with homework, performing light housekeeping, and preparing lunches for the next day. I also worked at the San Francisco Zoo as a camp instructor for three summers, working with children ages 4 to 10. I would describe my childcare philosophy as a strong emphasis on building trustful relationships, with lots of fun and laughing! I have my own car with a clean driving record, and I am also CPR/First Aid certified! Looking forward to meet you and your kids! :)
