Carissa $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a responsible and patient caregiver with experience working with children of all ages, from infants to school-age students. I currently attend Liberty University and am majoring in Elementary Education, with a goal to become a teacher somewhere in the range of 1st-3rd grade. As part of my degree, I have completed several practicums in a classroom and several tutoring sessions as well, which included tutoring students in reading, writing, math, social studies, and science. I have also grown up babysitting since around the age of 13, so I am very familiar with creating a positive, fun, and safe environment for kids. I’m organized, reliable, and comfortable managing routines such as meals, homework, and bedtime. I love creating a positive, engaging environment through activities, learning, and play, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and building trust with every family I work with.

Priscilla $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone!!! I am an experienced sitter for every necessary help. I love kids and pets so I don't have any problem with babysitting or petsitting. I have been helping my family take care of kids for as long as I can remember and can handle a baby. I have been an experienced behavior analyst for the past 4 years so I have worked with kids with special needs. I used to be a teacher's aid as well as a teacher for kindergarden kiddos. I also have had pets for the past 16 years. I can cat sit or dog sit. I can do dog walking. I can shower them. I can pick up their poop, or clean litter boxes. I really do what you need around the house. I can prep dinners, I can do errands, I can clean. I enjoy organization. I am first aid and cpr certified because I have to be for work purposes. Please let me know if you have any questions for me. If necessary, I can also give you a reference or two. I live in Baldwin Park/West Covina. My availability is M/T/TH 9am-2:30pm W/F 9am-6pm.
