Halle $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone my name is Halle, I am 22 years old and I am currently attending CSUEB for my bachelor’s and aspiring to become a teacher! I am a personal assistant for a business owner, where my responsibilities range from many thing like running errands, cleaning, and child care. I’ve watched her soon to be 5 year old daughter since she was 6 months old and I also take care of her son who just turn one. I like to do things like draw, crafts, play board games, and read with them! I also love animals as well and has been a pet sitter in the past. I loved to take them on walks and take care of your fur baby!

Booked by 3 families in San Leandro, CA

Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and energetic caregiver who genuinely loves working with kids. I have experience with children of all ages and personalities, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and included. I currently work at an after-school program, which has helped me build strong skills in staying organized, keeping kids engaged, and handling different situations calmly. I also volunteer on some Sundays at a children’s ministry at church, where I usually work with toddlers—so I’m very comfortable with younger kids as well! In my free time, I enjoy staying active and being outdoors, and I like bringing that same fun, positive energy when I’m with kids—whether that’s playing games, helping with homework, or just keeping them entertained and happy. I’m reliable, easygoing, and someone parents can trust to take great care of their kids while making sure they have a good time too!

Very professional and great w small children

My responsabilities with my current host family are helping helping with the morning routine, lunch prep and getting them ready for school. After school i prepare them dinner, play any boardgames, watch a movie, or anything that comes at the moment. it really depends on the day and the kids mood.

We have two cats here where i live and i have one cat on my own back at home, so i love animals a lot🫶🏻
