Alex $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Alex, I have been working at a daycare for the past 2 years and I absolutely love working with kids of all ages. I love the one on one time with the kids the most and that is why I am looking for a change of pace. I absolutely love the great outdoors and doing creative things to help further the children’s development. I’ve been wanting to spend more one on one time with a few kids at a time so that I can really connect with them and watch them grow as little humans.

Makena $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Makena, and I'm a 20-year-old student at the University of Kentucky originally from San Ramon, California and will be in San Ramon for the summer. I've always enjoyed working with kids and have experience babysitting, including caring for a 10-year-old boy over the summer, experience as a summer camp counselor, and helped as an assistant cheer coach for the summer at California high school. During my time babysitting, I helped with meals, transportation, activities, and making sure he had a fun and safe time. I'm also comfortable caring for pets and have experience with both cats and dogs. As a former Division I athlete and lifelong cheerleader, I'm energetic, patient, good under pressure, and love to stay active. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and judgement free environment where they can feel comfortable and have fun. I have my own car and am happy to help with pick-ups, drop-offs, and other tasks as needed. My goal is to be someone both kids and parents can trust, and I would love the opportunity to get to know your family!
