Acacia $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Antioch, CA

Hello! My name is Acacia and I’m CPR certified! I’m currently a college student. I’m attending Los Medanos College in the Fall and I’m majoring in Early Childhood Education because I’m pursuing a career in kindergarten teaching. I’m trying to gain experience for my future career as well as save up money for school! I love watching children, they tend to like me a lot due to my bright pink hair (haha) and since I’m younger than most people, I can keep up with the chaotic energy of children! My responsibilities included facilitating age-appropriate activities for children between the ages of 1-10 while maintaining safety, communicating effectively with parents, and providing information on daily activities and addressing any concerns promptly. I also have experience in working with cats, I have 3 cats of my own that I take care of when I’m not in school so I can watch cats. I have experience working with dogs, I have walked around ~7 dogs before all ranging in different sizes!
