Yasmine $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have several years of experience working with kids and currently work at an after-school program with children from TK through 6th grade. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children, helping with homework, planning activities, preparing snacks/meals, and keeping kids entertained and on a routine. I’m CPR/BLS certified and also have a background in healthcare. I’m patient, responsible, outgoing, and genuinely enjoy being around kids. I’m also comfortable with pets, driving to activities or school, and helping out with light household tasks when needed. I’d love to find a family I can build a comfortable and reliable relationship with!

Booked by 1 family in Antioch, CA

Hi! My name is Nayely and I am 25 years old. I recently graduated with a BA in Psychology at CSU East Bay. I also have an associate’s degree in liberal arts: math and science. I previously worked as behavior technician for autistic children and really enjoyed it. I was able to help kids develop their communication skills. I am a caring, patient and very responsible person. I take great pride in being always on time to anything I do. Growing up in a Hispanic household meant that I often cared for my 4 younger siblings. I also grew up helping my other family with their infants as well. I look forward to building connections with you and your children. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have. Thank you!

“If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. Nayely is an absolute godsend. I was drowning with work and school and she was the biggest help with cleaning. Will definitely rehire ”

Mya $20 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! A little bit about me, my name is Mya and I aspire to be a positive and kind presence in people’s lives. I try to appreciate the little things, enjoy every moment and remind others to do the same! I am currently a lifeguard at my hometown pool and am trained in CPR and first aid protocols. I’ve also worked as a gymnastics coach which taught me how to control but also appeal to children in various ways! I love animals and own two cats of my own, I also have owned dogs in the past. I can clean and run errands just say the word. I’d love a chance to prove my value! Thank you!
