Hello! I am former au pair with extensive childcare experience, and I’m also a proud mum to a 15-year-old daughter. I truly love being around children and find so much joy in supporting their growth, creativity, and everyday routines. I currently work at Stanford during the week, but I’d love the opportunity to support your family on weekday evenings after 5 pm and on weekends. I am BLS certified, including CPR, and my rate is $30 per hour (happy to discuss). Thank you Kasia

“She is awesome and great with my boy. Kasia is on time, kind and fun. My son likes her a lot. We recommend her to any family.”

Emily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Emily and I am currently a part-time freelance tutor for elementary aged children. I am offering child care, senior care, and household cleaning services. I love working in childcare and have previously worked as a summer camp counselor (campers aged 4 to 13) as well as an in-class aide for special needs students and a math and language arts tutor for students aged 6 to 12. I have worked positions requiring school drop-off/pick-up, preparing simple meals for children as well as seniors, engaging children in fun after-school activities and outdoor play, tutoring, housework, running errands, and in-home eldercare--including medication administration, memory care, daily hygiene, and cleaning. I served as my own father's end-of-life caregiver and understand the needs of seniors living out their last years as comfortably as possible in-home. I can engage children's critical thinking and problem-solving skills to improve their academic performance, and I'm good at devising easy, fun games for children to stimulate their creative imaginations. I also have a lifetime of experience caring for cats. I am not as familiar with dog care, but I am happy to learn.
