Hello, my name is Reilly. I am a 22 year-old student at California Polytechnic State University who is looking to make new connections within my town and have some income while being a full time student. I am very organized and reliable, as well as flexible with scheduling. I do have a car so if transportation is something that maybe needed we can work something out there. I have many years of experience caring for both children and pets. I have 11 years experience in 4-H and 4 years experience in FFA, so I am extremely comfortable around all animals large and small. I am also a quick learner if the an animal needs extra or special attention. As for caring for children and seniors, I am both CPR and First Aid certified for all ages. I also participated and passed the American Red Cross Babysitting course years ago when I first became a care giver. I have experience with children of all ages including infants, toddlers, middle aged, and teenaged, as well as seniors. I also have experience caring for sets of twins and caring for multiple children at one time. As for household services, either while being a care giver or not, I like to leave the house cleaner than when I arrived. This would include sweeping, putting toys away, or basic house tiding tasks. I am very flexible and easy to communicate with and I am excited to be a helpful hand to those in my new community.

Hello! I have been babysitting, house-sitting, and pet-sitting consistently since I was around thirteen. I currently own a horse, a dog, and a cat. I have experience with infant care, but more commonly babysit kids starting at ages 3 to 10. A unique fact about me is that I lived in Haiti for two years with my family, where I was consistently around groups of 50 kids ranging from infants to 13-year-olds, all with different needs. This experience has taught me that every child is different and has made me skilled in effectively multitasking and kindly managing multiple children at once. Lastly, I have my CPR certification, can cook, enjoy creating engaging and educational activities, and have knowledge of child and animal first aid. If you would like to inquire more about my experiences with different babysitting situations, house sitting, and pet sitting, please reach out!

I recently graduated with a degree in Kinesiology from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo in 2020 and I’ve been working in the health/fitness industry for about 10 years now. Currently I work part-time as a Personal Trainer and Swim Coach. When I’m not working I’m busy chasing my 5 year old around. We enjoy walks with the dogs, school, going to the park, play-dates, reading the Little Blue Truck series, and spending time with family. Additionally, I’ve worked as a caregiver in the past at an assisted living facility and personally with my mom who had Pancreatic cancer. As a trainer, I work with a wide range of clientele. I work with the following demographics: geriatric, individuals with disabilities/special needs, and athletes. I enjoy helping people and assisting them with their daily needs and activities.

Frances was great! My daughter was very comfortable with Frances. She had a great time playing games for 4+ hours. Will definitely try to hire Frances the next time we are in Paso.

As a member of a large family with three kids of my own, I'm no stranger to the challenges and joys of child care and the multi-tasking required to keep things running smoothly in the day to day! I'm a team player with a focus on supporting parents in their role as guide and caregiver while fostering emotional intelligence, generosity, collaboration and imagination in children. I was a stay at home mom for many years before re-joining the workforce, and have a deep appreciation for the skills required to juggle all the hats of busy parents! From meal prep to household chores while keeping things fun and playful, I can cultivate meaningful experiences for kids that speak to their innate sense of wonder and encourage their eagerness to soak up their environments in enriching ways. We live, laugh and learn when we experience life together!

Kids had an absolute blast.

Hi! I’m Becca! First and foremost I’m a mom and I love it! When I was a new mom & needed help, I felt overwhelmed trying to find the right fit of personality, values, & skills needed for a positive experience for all involved. Eventually, I left my corporate sales job in 2019 and put my passion for early childhood education and my degree in Communication Studies to use and began offering private nanny care and parent consulting services. I currently part time homeschool my 12 year old son and am available to care part time for your little one. Ideally, I’d love to support a family needing interim or part time care for their infant, toddler, pre-schooler. I hold my CPR/first aid certification & background checked/certified with Trust Line. I’m a former SpEd Para w/SLOCUSD. I’ve completed many professional and community courses (with CAPSLO for example) to better serve our community. The local families I’ve been privileged to work with are glad to provide a reference and insight to you on my positive & (even quirky) skills & traits at your request. I’m big on compassionate & supportive communication. Some of my favorite go to’s on child development come from professionals such as Magda Gerber, Robin Einzig, Janet Lansbury, Louise Bates Ames, & Dr. Ross Green. I am playful and silly, loving and kind, active and caring, and hold consistent and clear boundaries respectfully. I know quite a bit of American Sign Language (completed multiple levels through college courses over the years) however, I’m not fluent. I am comfortable using sign language with anyone who is already signing to communicate or teaching what I know to kids or families to help them communicate better. A typical day under my care involves morning greeting/connection routine, playtime and snack, reading and art, nap, lunchtime and adventure or park play, etc. (flexible but just an idea). I enjoy taking the little’s I’m caring for to library story times, different kid friendly adventures around town, and providing age appropriate experiences for their social, emotional, and physical development. I’m comfortable with bottle feeding, baby wearing, cloth diapering, snuggling to sleep, baby led weaning and adapting to any special care needs your family might need. I of course always follow your preferences to keep your child comfortable and safe🩷 Looking forward to talking with you about the care needs for your family.
