Hi! I’m Donna. I’m a warm, patient, and creative person who genuinely loves spending time with kids. I’m an aunt to a 7- and 9-year-old, and we spend our time doing arts and crafts, learning piano, and having real conversations — I always talk to kids like they’re people with their own thoughts, and they respond so well to that. I’ve also worked with children from preschool through high school at a tutoring company in San Diego, supporting them with everything from math to social studies. In my career as a producer, I’m extremely responsible and detail-oriented, so routines, safety, and clear communication come naturally to me. I’m great at planning engaging, screen-free activities and creating a calm, fun environment. I’ve cared for animals for years too — five years of hamsters and even fostering a puppy — so I’m comfortable with pets. Most importantly, I truly value these experiences because I hope to adopt children of my own someday. Spending time with kids brings me joy, and I take the responsibility seriously. Overall, I’m reliable, kind, and easy to work with. I’d love to support your family however I can.
Hi - My name is Joyce and I am offering child care and senior services. I have over 15 years of experience in child care and have my CPR / AED certification. I have experience taking care of children with allergies. My responsibilities are making simple meals, light house cleaning, accompany parents to children appointments, plan and partake in our door activities and arts and craft. I have been a caretaker for my own parents in the past as well as for others and am comfortable with Senior Care.

A motivated and adaptable nursing student currently in my freshman year of college. My experience with younger siblings has equipped me with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to connect with people of all ages. Outside of academics, I enjoy expressing my creativity through hairstyling and experimenting in the kitchen, especially with baking. Known for my kind and outgoing nature, I am a team player with a positive attitude. While my school schedule varies, I am generally available in the evenings and on weekends. I'm seeking opportunities to apply my skills and contribute to a dynamic work environment.
Hello! My name is Kasi and I’m a student at AMDA. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, volunteered at elementary schools, and worked at a summer camp for 2 years. I am able to tutor, teach crafts, give voice lessons, and on occasion walk to and from school. I am CPR certified. I love to cook, enjoy cleaning and organization. I am able and willing to run errands and do household chores. I love animals and while I have the most experience with dogs I’m willing to learn how to take care of other animals as well.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
