Sonia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Sonia! I am recent college graduate with a BFA in Musical Theatre, and I have a lot of experience working with kids. I started in middle school as a Counselor in Training (CIT) at Girl Scout Camp to learn how to best work with kids and help them thrive. In 2018 I started work as a camp counselor at San Diego Junior Theatre, monitoring/Overseeing up to 20 children at a time (ages 5 - 10), preventing incidents and/or managing and reporting incidents as needed, keeping campers safe and engaged throughout the day, and working well with other counselors to ensure a safe, positive experience for campers and staff. Along with working as a camp counselor, I also have done a lot of babysitting for kids ages 5 and up since highschool. Having a younger sibling, I am proficient in helping with homework and engaging in conversation with children of all ages. I also have experience providing care for children under 5, helping to run childcare at a church that watched the very young children during services. I was a part of a group that provided Anti-Bullying education through theatre to children in schools throughout High School as well, so I can help navigate friendship problems if/when they come up. Along with all of that, I also love to cook and bake and would love to help with food prep if needed! Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope I will be a good fit for you and your family!

Sanne $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Sunnyside, NY

Hi there, I’m Sanne (pronounced like sauna). I live in the west village of manhattan with my dog Beanie! I was laid off in May and am looking for a part time, date night/afternoons position while I look for another job. I’m great with kids and animals, I grew up playing sports so nothing I love more than playing outside! I’m also a big bookworm and will advocate for the library over the TV any day. I believe kids are smarter than we give them credit for and deserve a gentle, care free life. I also love to clean and have no problem helping keep things tidy. So if you’re looking for an extra set of hands, I’m happy to step in!
