"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Alma $35 per hour for 1 child
Hello, my name is Alma. I am 29 years old and a single mother of three beautiful girls, aged 7, 6, and 3. I am very patient, creative, and responsible, and I learn new skills quickly. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and certified in First Aid and CPR; I do not smoke or drink alcohol. Spanish is my native language, and I also speak English. I would be happy and grateful with any parents who give me the opportunity and trust to provide their children with top-quality care.
Elizabeth $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello I'm Beth! I'm a current CSUMB sophomore who has worked with kids professionally for the past 4 years and have taken care of my siblings since I was 13. I am offering care for toddlers, kids, pets, and homes. For the summers of 2022 to 2024 I was a summer camp counselor for ages 6-10 and this most recent summer I was the site lead for the camp. Some of my responsibilities were to choose and lead crafts and games for groups of up to 30 kids, manage day to day activities like lunch, swimming, and reading time, and communicate with parents about any happenings in their kid's day. I have a drivers license and also have a lot of experience cleaning and organizing. I can make simple meals, run errands, lead many different games, and organize crafts. One way I like to promote learning with children is to disguise it as something fun, using competition or mysteries to entice them.
Savannah $30 per hour for 1 child
Hello everyone, my name is Savannah. I am a teacher at Go Kids Inc and I have been there for 3 years. I currently work with children ages 6-12. Prior to my job at Go Kids I was a 2 year old teacher. I am also a graduate student working towards getting my Masters degree in Education for School Counseling with my PPS credential. I am looking for job opportunities Friday-Monday as I am working throughout the week. I am also open to talking about something during the week, but I get off of work at 6pm. Can't wait to meet you!
