Jezelle $20 per hour for 1 child

Child Care I have experience working with children of various ages, from toddlers to early teens. I enjoy hands on, engaging activities like arts and crafts, baking, reading time, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I’m patient, energetic, and great at keeping kids entertained while also maintaining structure. I’m comfortable helping with school pick-ups, meal prep, bedtime routines, or light tutoring as needed. Pet Care I’ve worked with small to medium breeds. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playtime. Whether your pet needs high-energy outdoor time or just loving companionship, I’m happy to accommodate. Household Services I offer a variety of home assistance such as cleaning, organizing, meal prep, laundry, running errands, and general tidying. I take pride in being detail-oriented and making sure things not only look neat, but feel peaceful and functional. I am adaptable to whatever systems or routines you prefer in your home. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and easy to work with, I’d love to help! Let me know what you need, and I’ll do my best to make your life a little easier. I am certified in CPR

Amber $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a 25 year old college graduate looking for some night work as I work full time during the day. I have a background in medical, working for 3 years as a hospital corpsman in an inpatient and labor/delivery ward, I am first aid qualified, and I am currently active duty military. My childcare background comes from a mixture of infant care while working labor and delivery and also having 6 siblings (the youngest of which I adopted due to my father’s death). I also have a background in working as a dog trainer (with a specialty in huskies and German Shepards) and am trained in basic pet first aid. While working inpatient, I also dealt with many elderly patients as far as in-unit hospice cases, and I am more than open to helping care for anyone whether they are at the start or end of their life! I only speak English (and some German/Russian for dog training), so households that mainly speak another language likely won’t be a good fit. For any households looking for overnight care, I will set hard return times to ensure I can make it to work by 0700. Please reach out if you have any questions! I’m an open book and know that entrusting someone with those we care for can be stressful.

Adrina $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Adrina and I am 22 years old. Originally from the Bay Area, I moved here in 2021 for school and currently working towards my business degree (online). My experience started when I was only 12 years old, as I have a younger sister who is now 12yo, as well as 4 younger boy cousins. I was always the trusted babysitter for friends and family 🥰 I am currently working with 3 different families (ages 3 & 5 boys, ages 7 & 9 boys, and 2, 3 & 4 one boy and two girls), but have time on my hands for occasional work. In San Diego I have worked with plenty of families ranging from age 3 months-10yo. I took a break for a little over 2 years as I had a full time job, which I am no longer doing. I am located downtown but willing to drive up to 30 mins as I have a reliable car and clean driving record! I look forward to meeting your families 🤍

Ciel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Graciela, but you can call me Ciel (SEE-EL). I have been professionally working with kids ages 22mo to 12 years old for about ~2 years. I am currently working as a Behavior Consultant for kids with autism, so I am confident in taking care of children who display intense behaviors. Some of the responsibilities I can provide include driving children (with provided car seat), homework help, cleaning, making meals, community/public outings, and of COURSE engaging kids! I am comfortable and have experience with taking care of cats and dogs. I myself have a beautiful American shorthair cat who is named Pesto. I look forward to hearing from you, and I can’t wait to meet your little one(s)!
