Elysia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Elysia, and I am currently a senior at UCLA. I have a passion for working with children and serving our youth in any way I can. Kids truly bring so much joy to life, and I love connecting with them while supporting their growth, confidence, and creativity. I hope to not only be a caregiver, but also a positive mentor and role model for the children I work with. I have hands on experience working at the Boys & Girls Club, where I formulated weekly lesson plans that encouraged student participation through interactive activities and creative projects. I focused fun and engaging learning experiences while fostering an environment where children felt safe to express themselves and develop critical thinking skills. Creating a supportive and welcoming space was always my top priority. Through this role, I demonstrated strong leadership and mentorship by guiding students in personal growth, helping them set attainable goals, and motivating them through positive reinforcement and recognition of their accomplishments. This approach helped increase their self confidence and enthusiasm toward both academics and daily life. I also implemented structured daily routines to provide consistency, while maintaining a warm, caring, and positive attitude when working with both individuals and groups of children. Overall, I strive to ensure a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and inspired to be their best selves. I truly love working with kids and feel grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in their lives.

Hello family, I’m Flavia Martins, from Brazil, and I have been working as nanny for about 14 years. I have a lot of experience with newborn, babies to teenager and experience with kids Autistic, ADHD and Special Needs! I use to drive them around, take them to the park and their activities, meal prep, help with homework and I love to be outside and do arts and crafts with kids! My last job I watched two girls, 10 months an 4yo. I worked for this family for about 2 years and now I'm currently looking for one time job, part time job or/and weekends job. I'm very friendly person, easy going, patient and lovely. I also have two kids of my own, one is 17yo boy and my girl is 13yo! I have a CPR and I'm fluent Portuguese language too. I have good references, if you need too.

“Flavia is fantastic all around! She has helped our family several times and is very reliable and dependable. She is excellent with our 3-year old boy and 1-year old girl and they love it when Flavia comes over. Flavia has great positivity and energy and plays very well with the kids. Flavia also communicates very well and is very responsive. Further, she is extremely helpful around the house with any cleaning or chores that could be needed. Highly recommend!”
