During the last few years of my life, I have babysat my own family and worked at an elementary school. I worked with grade levels k-3. I worked as a teachers assistant on my days that I didn’t have work. I worked and still do work at chilis. Since I love working with kids and taking care of kids inside and outside of school I want to put my experience to work and help out those who need it. I love taking care of any family friends children or my cousins. Anything you need I can be there for you😊.

Hello, my name is Lauryn and I am a Freshman at Cal State University of Fullerton. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and have been watching over infants, toddlers, kids and recently newborns as well! Many responsibilities I have had include driving to/from places, making crafts, tutoring, and even art lessons. I also work as a daycare/preschools aide at local schools for the childcare career program. I will also be willing to be a household assistant to run errands, laundry, organizing and clean as well. Additionally, I have pet sit many times with dogs, cats, and rabbits. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, and playing with animals. One issue - I have trouble with large, loud dogs, but I’m happy to work with quieter dogs or any other animals.

Hello! I am a recent CSUF graduate with my B.S. in Marine Biology and was on full scholarship for cross country and track. I was involved in both athletic leadership and I am in the process of publishing my first research paper. I have been babysitting for toddlers and up ever since I was 12. I have also had dogs my whole life and I currently have cats and also had bearded dragons for several years so I can offer all the pet care! I also LOVE cleaning and organizing and have been doing yard work my whole life. I take playing outside and in creative ways with the children. I can also help tutor or sit down and read with them for a while. I do have my own car if any form of transportation is needed for grocery shopping, park time, etc. I am an open book and excited to meet you and your family!

TUTOR..KINDERGARTEN - 3RD GRADE (FULLERTON, BREA, ANAHEIM, YORBA LINDA, PLACENTIA) offered in person Hi, my name is Cheryl. I would like to invite you to allow me to TUTOR your child in your home, or local library. I tutor students from Kindergarten through 3rd grade. I have a Bachelor of Science in Child Development, and I spent 14 years as a public school teacher. This gave me a plethora of skills I use today, working one on one with students in KINDERGARTEN - 3rd GRADE. I have been tutoring for over 20 years. I also have 4 years of teaching 2nd grade students in an a after school program called "THINK TOGETHER." I worked with students in Santa Ana. This program consisted of about 20 students per teacher. I provided help to students with homework, reading skills, language arts, mathematics, writing, and art. I am not trained in teaching autistic children, but I do have experience working with autistic students. I tutor most of the students I have now skills ranging from reading, writing, math, language arts, and help with homework. I hope to hear from you to discuss hiring me as a tutor for your child. I have a positive approach to my tutoring which is focused on the highest potential for your child.

I have over six years of experience providing dependable childcare, including with newborns, children ages 2–8, and kids with special needs. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology, am working toward my doctorate, and have completed coursework in Early Child Development. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, which ensures safety in my care. Families describe me as patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I love engaging children in outdoor play, sports, games, and puzzles that encourage both fun and learning. I’m comfortable caring for up to three children, and I always follow household rules and communicate clearly with parents. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with cooking, meal prep, and light housekeeping. My goal is to support children’s growth while bringing peace of mind to families.
