Samantha $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello there! My name is Samantha and live in the 94112 area. I’m fluent in Spanish, French, and English. I know elementary-level Italian and ASL. I’m a first year at Santa Clara University, and I studied abroad in France 2 years ago and lived with a host family. That was an incredible experience! I’m excited to offer childcare and house sitting services. As a caregiver, my main roles include: - language conversations/lessons (Spanish, French, English) - help with light household chores (like organizing, cleaning up play areas) - Making arts & crafts with your child(ren) - Playing games/board games with them - preparing meals or snacks - assisting with homework/tutoring - supervising outdoor play ~and anything else requested!~ I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 years old and love spending time with kids. For the past four years, I’ve worked as an assistant teacher for a summer program in SF, teaching 7th and 9th grade STEM classes. When I’m not taking care of others, I enjoy baking, arts & crafts making, playing board games and card games, watching movies, playing soccer, ceramics, traveling, and exploring the city. I hope you’re interested in what I have to offer! Let me know if you have any questions.

Masie $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! I am Masie. I just graduated from SFSU with a bachelors in Child development to become an elementary school teacher. I am currently in my teaching credential program. I have been working with children in professional settings for the past 6 years now. I have been camp counselor, babysitter, after school child care leader, nanny, TA for early childhood school, and now I am currently a para educator in a TK classroom at an elementary school in the city. I have worked with all ages from infants to middle school. I love to work with kids because it is rewarding and fulfilling to watch tiny humans develop and become their own person. In my free time I love to read, watch the sunsets, go to the beach, read, do yoga, and cook. I am looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Christiana $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a thorough background in childcare and working with children. I was a camp counselor at the Burlingame Parks and Recreation Adventure camp for 5 years and have been CPR certified twice. I am passionate and love to see children learn and grow throughout my time with them. I like to create a fun environment with the potential to ask questions, be curious and have fun as all children should. I am studying Biology so I love to expose children to the outdoor, information about our environment and other fun animal facts to further enrich their experience. I can’t wait to meet you all and share my kindness, passion and enthusiasm with you!
