$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Montclair, CA

Hello! My name is Emily and I’m currently a Junior at UCLA. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been caring for others since I was about 10 years old, starting with my younger siblings, and have worked with children of all ages—from infants to teens. I don’t have a specific age preference to work with, as I love caring for all kids, and believe each age brings their own fun adventure. I love getting creative with kids through crafts, games, educational fun, and outdoor play, and I’m happy to help with homework (have experience as a tutor), light cooking, and bedtime routines. I have a Husky of my own named Max and lots of experience with many dog breeds and cats as well. I can assist with walking, feeding, playtime, and giving your furry babies the love and attention they need. I also offer household help such as cleaning, laundry, cooking, organizing, and running errands. I can bring my own cleaning supplies if needed. I’m dependable, upbeat, and passionate about creating a safe, caring environment for every family I work with!

“Emily was great with my toddler! Will be rebooking in the future and would recommend to others. ”

Alyssa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Alyssa and I have been caring for children and pets since my early teenage years, continuing throughout my 20’s. I’m offering child care, cat care, and small dog care! My child care has included watching toddlers and kids, preparing basic meals, light cleaning, and driving to and from local destinations. My pet care has included watching animals for hours or days at a time, feeding routines, and I have owned cats and dogs my entire life! I can include all of the above in my care services, and can run errands if necessary.

Booked by 3 families in Montclair, CA

Hello my name is Priscilla, I have over 9 years of experience working in preschool settings as both a teacher's assistant and a lead teacher. During COVID, I supported families by providing in-home preschool instruction and assisting with virtual learning for kindergarten students. I recently graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, with an emphasis in Child Development, and I am passionate about supporting children as they learn, grow, and thrive. Along with childcare, I'm happy to help with light housekeeping, errands, and meal prep. I also have an 8-seater minivan and a clean driving record, making me available for safe and reliable carpooling when needed. For the past four years, I've been a stay-at-home mom, which has further deepened my understanding of the patience, care, and creativity that young children need. | look forward to partnering with your family and providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your child.

"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!"
