Emma $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Emma, and I’m a caring, dependable, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys helping others and creating a safe, comfortable environment for the people and pets in my care. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your loved ones, your home, or your pets. I believe that trust is built through kindness, reliability, respect, and being attentive to the individual needs of each person and family. My background is in education and energy healing. I’ve worked as an elementary school classroom aide in my 20s, a middle school and high school substitute teacher in my 30s, and a pre-k language assessor for the San Diego County School District in my 40s. I’m also an energy healing guide and have over 15 years of experience leading sound bath meditations and practicing a healing-hands approach. Throughout my life, I’ve been drawn to helping and caring for others. I believe every life is precious, and I feel honored whenever someone trusts me with the care of someone or something important to them. I would love the opportunity to learn about your specific needs, routines, and preferences and see how I can be helpful to you and your family. I look forward to connecting!

Amber $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a 25 year old college graduate looking for some night work as I work full time during the day. I have a background in medical, working for 3 years as a hospital corpsman in an inpatient and labor/delivery ward, I am first aid qualified, and I am currently active duty military. My childcare background comes from a mixture of infant care while working labor and delivery and also having 6 siblings (the youngest of which I adopted due to my father’s death). I also have a background in working as a dog trainer (with a specialty in huskies and German Shepards) and am trained in basic pet first aid. While working inpatient, I also dealt with many elderly patients as far as in-unit hospice cases, and I am more than open to helping care for anyone whether they are at the start or end of their life! I only speak English (and some German/Russian for dog training), so households that mainly speak another language likely won’t be a good fit. For any households looking for overnight care, I will set hard return times to ensure I can make it to work by 0700. Please reach out if you have any questions! I’m an open book and know that entrusting someone with those we care for can be stressful.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
