Hello! :) My name is Priscilla. I am currently a preschool teacher in Redondo Beach, CA (going on 10 years).

Kaya Huntington Beach
$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Kaya! I am currently a student-athlete at Pacific Lutheran University. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have extensive experience in caregiving and providing support to others. I have worked at children’s camps through SCATS Gymnastics and the Huntington Beach Parks and Recreation summer program, where I supervised and cared for kids in a safe and positive environment. I have also babysat, driven children to and from activities, cared for pets, and house-sat while family and friends are away. As a collegiate student-athlete and nursing student, I have developed strong time management, discipline, and organizational skills. Being part of a team has taught me to be dependable, hardworking, and responsible. I am passionate about caring for others and enjoy creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment. My experience with children, pets, and household responsibilities, combined with my dedication and compassionate nature, make me a reliable and enthusiastic caregiver.

Seal Beach
$17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Surfside, CA

Hi I’m Skye! I am 18 years old and am ready for a job! It’s hard to find a job as a college student because I have not had a job in the past due to a busy schedule in high school and most jobs require past working experience. I would say I’m friendly and respectful and like to get the job done! I’m currently a student at Arizona State who is majoring in English but maybe child development in the future! I am looking to occasionally babysit only because I go back home to my home state for winter and summer break so keep that in mind! I think I want a job where I can pick up kids from school and watch them for a few hours or when parents want to go on a date night!
