Lisa $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi there - I'm Lisa! I have over 5 years of babysitting experience. I've worked with families in the Chicago area and I also used to work at a daycare in Beverly Hills. I’m extremely empathetic, playful, alert, and responsible. Most of my experiences are with children ages 2-13. I graduated from ISU with a BA in Theatre and I am also an SLP at a pediatric clinic. I’m happy to assist with cooking, homework, laundry, and other tasks. I truly love playing and being silly! Some personal hobbies include yoga, cycling, and writing. I love babysitting because of the joy it brings me - kids have the greatest perspective on just about everything. I am available for weekends. I hope to meet you and your family soon!

Sofia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a recent high school graduate, attending community college. I'm looking for an occasional or part-time job doing something I enjoy-- and I love working with kids! If I find we are a good fit, I'm open to considering longer-term options. Experience & Qualifications: I have some babysitting experience with another local family who I babysat for occasionally throughout high school. Their kids were 4 and 7 at the start. I've also worked as a substitute classroom aid at the German Language School of the North Bay in Novato and mostly substituted in the kindergarten class which had kids ranging from 3 to 6 years old. If you'd like to know more about paid work and volunteer work I've done, I'd be happy to send you my resume or discuss this further. I'm happy to provide references as well. Just reach out! Note that I haven't had formal tutoring experience but would be comfortable assisting a child in learning all the teaching skills listed on my profile. I am CPR/First Aid/AED certified for infants, children and adults. Background & Childcare Approach: I was educated in Waldorf schools from preschool to 12th grade. My childcare approach emphasizes being a nurturing emotional presence for children. I believe children don’t need to become someone. They already are someone. And I believe it’s my job to help that unfolding happen safely, while letting them grow into themselves. To gain skills to increase their safety in the world rather than hide from it. To learn to distinguish good risks to take from harmful or dangerous risks. I want to encourage them to play hard, and I use kindness as a guiding principle in everything. I hope to help them build healthy confidence, knowing they are capable and can do hard things– and are able to ask for help. I value a healthy and age-appropriate transparency between child and adult, enough for children to know that adults aren’t perfect, and we don’t expect them to be perfect either. I hope to teach them humility by example so that they too can learn to say “that wasn’t my best moment, and I know how to come back and repair.” I hope to bring these values into a warm family household that also shares them. Best, Sofia
