Madeline $20 per hour for 1 child

I am an outgoing college student and already have over five years of experience with caregiving for children of all ages! I have held two longterm caregiving jobs. The first was a combination of nannying three children (ages 2,7, and 12) and doing housework (laundry,dishes,orginization) a few times a week. The second was nannying for two children (ages 9 and 13) overnight into the next morning (packing lunch, cooking meals, driving kids to school) up to five times per week. Aside from that I have had various babysitting, housesitting, and pet sitting jobs as needed. I pride myself in creating a comfortable, safe, and positive environment for every family. I love to play games, do crafts, and talk to kids about whatever is on their mind. I love to have fun but I also know how to enforce rules and keep order in a household. I am willing and able to supervise swimming, run errands, do light housekeeping, and aid kids in their schoolwork if needed. I hope to make a positive impact in your family’s life!

I have 20+ years in housekeeping and have great reputations with all the people I’ve worked with in the past. Every day I come in with a great attitude and wanting to make my clients day by attending to their housekeeping needs.

Summer $22 per hour for 1 child

I volunteered at a daycare for one year, where I assisted in caring for children ages 2–4. My responsibilities included supervising activities, helping with meals, supporting nap time routines, and reading to the children. This experience helped me develop strong childcare skills, patience, and the ability to create a safe and positive environment for young children. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from San Diego State University (SDSU) and am also comfortable caring for animals. I have previously completed CPR training; although my certification recently expired, I am willing to renew it before providing care for children or seniors. I am highly patient, dependable, and an effective communicator. In addition, I worked as a Shift Supervisor at KFC for eight years, where I independently managed shifts and was responsible for team leadership, conflict resolution, staff coordination, and delivering excellent customer service. This role strengthened my organizational skills, leadership abilities, and sense of responsibility. With extensive experience in the food service industry, I am knowledgeable about food safety regulations, proper food handling and preparation procedures, and maintaining high standards of cleanliness and sanitation.

Hi! I’m Leslie, I understand how important it is for parents to feel their child is truly cared for. I’m naturally patient, and detail-oriented (comes with being a paralegal) and I bring that same energy into childcare. I love creating calm, safe routines, being attentive to emotional needs, and making sure families feel supported. I’m big on communication, I handle unexpected situations with a clear head, and I genuinely enjoy helping little ones feel secure, understood, and loved. If you’re looking for someone dependable, and easy to work with, I’ve got you!

“Very good with small children, highly recommend her!”
