Denotra $25 per hour for 1 child

I have over five years of experience working with children through both babysitting and classroom settings. I started as a babysitter, caring for children of various ages, which helped me develop strong skills in creating safe, engaging, and nurturing environments. In addition, I worked in an elementary school where I assisted in a two-year-old classroom. There, I supported daily activities, helped with learning routines, and encouraged social and emotional development.

Andrea $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Andrea and I'm currently a college student studying to become a children's psychologist, so working with kids is what I truly love. Families would describe me as responsible, dependable, patient, and someone their children would feel comfortable with. I love arts and crafts, music, and creating a fun environment where kids feel supported. I am committed to providing the best care possible and excited to get to know your family.

Julia $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a second-oldest sibling to 6 (one older sister!) and a private music teacher for all ages! In addition to regular care, I am happy to provide voice, piano and string lessons. I’m happy to do sitting in the mornings before work and open to date nights/ overnight depending on the circumstances.

Ma. Chantal $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a professional educator currently working within the San Diego Unified School District as a TK teacher at a Mandarin immersion school. I have been in the education sector since 2007. I have a Master of Science degree in Education with a Concentration in Literacy and Reading. I am a single parent to a high schooler and a shih tzu. My Professional Background: Teaching experience: I started out my career as an educator as a Child Development Center Assistant then took on the role of an Independence Facilitator. I worked my way up to becoming a teacher while taking Child Development courses, and completing my master's degree as well as a Graduate Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Specialized experience: I have had the privilege to work as a behavioral therapist (trained in ABA) for five years for private non-profit organizations. Foster care: I proudly served as a foster parent to children with special needs for eight years. My caregiving philosophy: I love being a teacher! It is my absolute pleasure watching young children grow, learn, and meet their developmental milestones. Inside the home, I bring the same organization, loving structure, and accountability that I use in my classroom. For example, I teach my 3-5 year old students how to be responsible by guiding them through routines such as cleaning up after themselves. I ensure every child receives equal and individualized attention tailored to their own unique personality. I love to read, cook, and bake. I enjoy talking with children about random things under the sun. It is my greatest joy to learn from them just as much as they learn from me. I am seeking a rewarding supplemental role and be productive during school breaks and in the afternoons or evenings when I have down time. I am comfortable working in homes with friendly dogs and cats. If you believe my educational background and experience align with your family's needs, I would love to connect!
