Hi, my name is Estefany, and I am currently a second year student going to third year at Sonoma State University. I am offering child care, senior care, and help with household errands. I have several years of babysitting experience caring for children from ages 2 to 17, and I am comfortable working with different age groups and personalities. I am patient, responsible, energetic, and always make communication a priority by asking questions, confirming instructions, and being dependable and on time. I can help with driving, errands, cleaning, and creating a safe and positive environment for families. I also had some experience with senior care and am always open to learning and gaining new experience. I had a valid Driver’s license and pride myself on being a good listener and someone families can trust. If my availability does not completely fit your schedule, I am always open to communicating and trying to make things work.

“Estefany was such a pleasure! Our kids loved her and she truly made a very special birthday celebration possible for us to attend. We can’t thank her enough for being so wonderful. Whenever we need someone we can trust to safely watch our kids, she is who we are going to call! Anyone who hires her to watch their kids are lucky to have found her. ”

Shana $25 per hour for 1 child

I have been a preschool teacher for 5 years and it's my dream job. Working with children is the most rewarding thing I've ever done. In addition to my experience, I have 30 units of college coursework in Early Childhood Education. I've worked with both adults and children with learning and behavioral differences and am kind, compassionate, and nurturing. As a mom of two teenagers, I know how hard it is to trust someone to take care of your children. I have excellent references from 4 different preschools including a nature school, Waldorf preschool, and the Multicultural Children's Center here in Santa Rosa. I am currently a teacher at a large family farm and daycare. I am comfortable taking care of animals. Cats, dogs, farm animals...I love them all! In my spare time, I love to get outside and hike and swim. I'm an avid concert/theater goer as well. I hope to hear from you!

I'd describe my personality as a patient, responsible, good listener, love being around kids, loving, and caring I like working with kids because I love having young kids around especially when they are at the age that they still enjoy playing and learning. I'm looking for a job that will be flexible and also a job that I enjoy doing especially during school and I would want to have more job experience with working with children for the future. I started working with kids when I started my college year. I've had the opportunity to work with children the past 2 years and it's been an amazing experience. In my spare time, I like to go to the gym. I usually like to hangout with my friends as well and I like going to my brother's soccer game especially on the weekends One thing you should know about me is I am a very responsible and kind person. My skills include being patient, make sure they are well attended, making sure they feel safe and comfortable

"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!"
