$25 per hour for 1 child

I have one year of experience working as a caregiver for a family in California, where I supported an elderly mother with daily care while also helping maintain a calm, organized, and loving home. In this role, I was responsible not only for senior care, but also for caring for two dogs and two cats, ensuring they were well-fed, exercised, and comfortable. I also 5 years of pet sitting experience via Rover with 5-star reviews and have many references. This experience taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment for every member of the household. I also have experience caring for children through helping look after my younger cousins. I naturally connect well with kids, and they tend to feel comfortable and at ease around me. I am gentle, attentive, and enjoy engaging with children in a positive and supportive way. I am eager to learn, flexible with routines, and happy to follow a family’s specific needs and values. I take pride in being dependable, kind, and compassionate, and I truly enjoy helping families feel supported and cared for.
