Hello! I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Child Development and Family Science from CSULB. I have worked in a high school setting for over 17 years, specifically working with students with disabilities; helping them with college and career services. I had a son with severe disabilities and was responsible for his medically demanding daily routine so I am comfortable with medical needs. I also have been responsible for the care of my 3 grandparents and their medical needs. I’ve hosted “Auntie Camp” for more than 6 years, watching the young kids in my family during my summer break. We did field trips and daily activities in the areas of: Physical Fitness, Language Arts, Arts & Crafts and Science. I was also a director of a before & after school program. In this position I supervised 100 kids and 12 staff members. I would love to help with families and entertain their children. *First Aid/CPR Certified

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.

Hi, I’m Shayla! I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, and it’s something I’ve always truly loved. I’m looking for a side job that’s more fulfilling than my current full time position, and caring for kids is exactly that and more. I love doing crafts, helping with homework and tutoring, cooking fun meals, and spending time outside. I also love Zootopia more than I should probably admit. I aim to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where kids feel happy and parents feel confident leaving them in my care.
