Jocelyn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there - My name is Jocelyn and I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Neurobiology & Behavior and currently work in Pharma Advertising. I was a caretaker for 2 elderly folks thru college and have really been caring for newborns, toddlers, and young kiddos since I was 15, and now looking forward to caring for your loved one(s)! I love staying active, so there’s no doubt I’ll have energy to keep up with energies of all ranges. I’ve cared for kids only a few months old to 11years old (I’m a great tutor/homework helper btw!) and have also cared for elderly folks, managing a range of medical conditions, including Parkinson’s, MS, and Dementia. I’m also rather flexible, if you need help driving the kids around, making meals, or any other general help, consider me your gal! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to lmk. Looking forward to caring for your loved ones!

Sofia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sofia, and I’m going into my junior year at Caldwell University, where I’m a student-athlete on the women’s basketball team. I’m responsible, reliable, and love working with kids of all ages. I come from a big, close-knit family and have been taking care of my younger cousins and family members for as long as I can remember. Spending time with kids has always come naturally to me, and I truly enjoy helping them learn, grow, and have fun. (I also have two cats and a dog.) As a college athlete, I’m energetic, patient, and know how to keep children engaged while making sure they’re always safe. I’ve consistently been on the Dean’s List at Caldwell University and am a member of the National Honor Society, so I’m also happy to help with homework, studying, and creating positive learning habits while making schoolwork feel less stressful. My responsibilities have included driving children to and from camps, practices, sports, and other activities, planning arts and crafts, playing at the playground, helping with homework, and organizing fun games and activities. Since I play college basketball, I especially love staying active with kids through sports, outdoor play, and anything that keeps them moving and having fun. I’m flexible, dependable, and understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust. Whether it’s helping with busy after-school schedules, keeping little ones entertained, or simply being another caring and positive role model, I’m always happy to help however I can. I look forward to meeting your family! 😊

Hi, my name is Lola and I feel tremendous respect for children as they are so free and spontaneous; great teachers :) .. my experience is based on caring for my own son (now 21 years old); my niece and nephews (now 18-21 years old).

I am fluent in English and Spanish; I have a bachelors degree in Economics and I am also a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach.
