Adrina $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Adrina and I am 22 years old. Originally from the Bay Area, I moved here in 2021 for school and currently working towards my business degree (online). My experience started when I was only 12 years old, as I have a younger sister who is now 12yo, as well as 4 younger boy cousins. I was always the trusted babysitter for friends and family 🥰 I am currently working with 3 different families (ages 3 & 5 boys, ages 7 & 9 boys, and 2, 3 & 4 one boy and two girls), but have time on my hands for occasional work. In San Diego I have worked with plenty of families ranging from age 3 months-10yo. I took a break for a little over 2 years as I had a full time job, which I am no longer doing. I am located downtown but willing to drive up to 30 mins as I have a reliable car and clean driving record! I look forward to meeting your families 🤍

Ciel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Graciela, but you can call me Ciel (SEE-EL). I have been professionally working with kids ages 22mo to 12 years old for about ~2 years. I am currently working as a Behavior Consultant for kids with autism, so I am confident in taking care of children who display intense behaviors. Some of the responsibilities I can provide include driving children (with provided car seat), homework help, cleaning, making meals, community/public outings, and of COURSE engaging kids! I am comfortable and have experience with taking care of cats and dogs. I myself have a beautiful American shorthair cat who is named Pesto. I look forward to hearing from you, and I can’t wait to meet your little one(s)!

Jezelle $20 per hour for 1 child

Child Care I have experience working with children of various ages, from toddlers to early teens. I enjoy hands on, engaging activities like arts and crafts, baking, reading time, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I’m patient, energetic, and great at keeping kids entertained while also maintaining structure. I’m comfortable helping with school pick-ups, meal prep, bedtime routines, or light tutoring as needed. Pet Care I’ve worked with small to medium breeds. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playtime. Whether your pet needs high-energy outdoor time or just loving companionship, I’m happy to accommodate. Household Services I offer a variety of home assistance such as cleaning, organizing, meal prep, laundry, running errands, and general tidying. I take pride in being detail-oriented and making sure things not only look neat, but feel peaceful and functional. I am adaptable to whatever systems or routines you prefer in your home. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and easy to work with, I’d love to help! Let me know what you need, and I’ll do my best to make your life a little easier. I am certified in CPR

Priscilla $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Priscilla. I am a full time school counselor for a TK-8 school. I’m offering child care, senior care, pet care and house hold services. I love my current job but am hoping to be able to work part time in addition to what I currently do. Most of my experience comes from working with my family/ friends and referrals they made on my behalf. My experience with children ranges from working with infants, coaching, educating and providing mental health supports. In other held positions I also organized/ran children events such as crafting activities, workshops, and cheer teams. This experience has been both professional and personal over the span of 18 years. Senior care and animal care has been primarily personal experience. The level of care I provided varied based on needs. However, I feel comfortable and confident to provide this type of support to families.

"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!"
