Booked by 11 families in Hollister, CA

Hi, my name is Shawn. I'm offering child care and light housekeeping, and house assistance, like running errands etc. Also, house sitting. I am able to drive kids to and from school and other places they need to go. I have a valid driver's license and car insurance and a reliable car. I also can cook meals for the family. As far as experience goes, I am a mother of four and was a stay at home mom during the whole time they were growing up. I did child care for awhile then also. I also helped raise my granddaughter. We were the house that all the kids hung out at. I love having kids around. I'm a very fun, upbeat person, and kids really do like me. I'm very dependable and I'm sure you would be happy with bringing me on to work with your family. Thank you

Shawn was wonderful with my 8-year-old daughter. She was warm, engaging, and kept her happily entertained with games and activities. She also encouraged my daughter to tidy up her toys and organize her closet, which was such a nice bonus. Shawn is kind, dependable, and connects easily with kids. I would happily recommend her to any family looking for a caring and proactive nanny.

Aaralyn $18 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible and dependable college student at California State University, Monterey Bay, studying psychology with a strong interest in child development and education. I have experience working with children through volunteering and classroom settings, and I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where kids can learn and have fun. Families describe me as patient, caring, organized, and reliable. I am comfortable helping with homework, supervising activities, preparing simple meals, and assisting with light household tasks. In addition to childcare, I have extensive experience caring for animals. I grew up around dogs, cats, chickens, and horses, so I am comfortable with pet sitting, feeding, exercising, and providing attentive care for a variety of pets. I also love to do arts and crafts, sing, dance, watch movies, bake, and learn new hobbies with kiddos!!
