Louise $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I have always loved working with children and animals! I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling and teaching credential with 9 years as a teacher 15 years as a school counselor. I currently work for the City of Alameda Recreation and Parks Department in their after-school and summer programs. I really enjoy spending time with kids, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and safe. I love doing arts and crafts, playing games, going to the park, reading, and helping with homework. My years of working with children have taught me the importance of being patient, understanding, and having a sense of humor! I’m also a big animal lover! I have experience caring for dogs through Rover and enjoy walking, playing with, and giving them lots of attention and love. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children or pets. I would love the opportunity to help care for your family!

Hi! My name is Teresa. I'm looking to take on sitter jobs this summer. I can help with: • Child care • Pet care • Household help Ages: I'm happy to babysit children ages 4 through the teen years. I also have my own car and can help with school pick-ups, drop-offs, sports practices, tutoring, errands, or other activities if needed. Grace Period: I understand that delays happen. If you arrive later than the agreed-upon time, I'll round your return time down to the previous half hour.
