Hi- my name is Amairani, 25 year old, with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. I love being around and taking care of kids of any age. I am a caring, patient caregiver with experience helping kids, people of different age ranges with disabilities, and specific pets due to allergies.

Lidia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello. I work for an elementary school, 10+ years. Babysat for 2 families before working for a school, volunteered at preschool when my kids were attending there. That’s when I decided to work with kids. I’m very comfortable with watching pets as well. I have two children, 23 and 18 year olds. They’re both grown up which is why I am expanding my joy of working with children and pets on my spare time.

erika $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Erika :) I have over three years of experience caring for children. After graduating with a degree in Psychology, I moved to the United States to improve my English, and that’s when I started working as a babysitter—and I quickly discovered how much I love it. I’ve cared for children of different ages. I am CPR certified, have my own car, and I’m comfortable with pets. I’m also happy to provide references. I’d love to connect with your family!

Isabel $20 per hour for 1 child

Intro: Hi! Here are small tidbits about me! I'm a full-time student looking for part-time, weekend jobs to pay off my tuition. I speak both English and Spanish, the latter only at an advanced level. I grew up in San Diego and go back during the breaks. My hobbies include anything arts and craft related and tennis. Although I tend to be less outspoken as an introvert, I believe my good-naturedness finds a way to shine through. I value authenticity, integrity, and doing everything to the best of my ability! Experience: At the moment, I've listed everything as "no experience" because I have none in a formal setting. However, I have 3 younger sisters who I helped raise. Raised by a single mom, a lot of my life has revolved around taking care of them. With the youngest being 9 years younger than me, I'm familiar, albeit rusty, with infant and toddler care, but I'm well experienced with taking care of elementary school children to pre-teens. Curly haircare ( type 3) and homework help make up my most recent skills related to childcare. Regarding pets and taking care of elders, I have no experience there, but I'm 100% willing to learn.
