Alyssa $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Alyssa, an experienced elementary school teacher and longtime childcare provider. I absolutely love working with children and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for! I have several years of professional experience working with children in elementary school settings, along with extensive babysitting experience. As a teacher, I’m especially comfortable with routines, homework help, reading practice, and keeping kids engaged without relying on screens.

I’m responsible, patient, energetic, and dependable, and I always make an effort to learn each family’s routines and preferences. I’d love to get to know your family and be someone you feel comfortable trusting with your children!

Hello! My name is Rachel, and I am a recent college graduate and former student-athlete who recently moved back to California for my gap year before attending graduate school and pursuing a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I am looking to earn extra income while doing work that I genuinely enjoy and find meaningful. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I have reliable transportation, and I am dependable, responsible, energetic, and committed to creating a safe, positive environment for everyone I work with. I love working with children and have experience caring for younger family members from a young age. In addition, I have worked with with preschool-aged children with complex special needs, visual impairments, and children on the autism spectrum. These experiences have helped me develop patience, creativity, strong communication skills, and the ability to adapt to each child's unique needs. I enjoy keeping children engaged through a variety of activities, including sports, outdoor play, board games, arts and crafts, reading, imaginative play, and educational activities. I strive to make every child feel supported, included, and encouraged while having fun. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare, I am passionate about helping others and building meaningful connections with families. Whether you need assistance with child care, pet care, household tasks, or support for a senior family member, I would love the opportunity to help.
