Taylor $24 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with over two years of professional experience working in private homes, state facilities, and hospital settings, including Kaiser Permanente. My background spans caring for children of various ages and needs, with a strong emphasis on safety, emotional support, and enrichment. Internationally, I have participated in mission and mentorship programs throughout the Philippines and Thailand, supporting underserved and at-risk children through education, structured activities, and positive guidance. I have supervised classrooms of up to seven children at a time, led mentorship programs for troubled youth, and organized community initiatives such as beach cleanups and educational surf programs that encouraged both discipline and joy. In addition to my caregiving experience, I am currently a holistic chef working with a luxury hotel, where I specialize in creating mindful, nourishing snacks and developing healthy eating habits for children, including those who are selective or hesitant eaters. I enjoy making daily routines fun, engaging, and meaningful while fostering curiosity, confidence, and healthy habits. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth in a way that feels safe, exciting, and nurturing, and I truly value opportunities where I can make a positive impact in a child’s life.

Hi, I'm Maria! I have 10+ years of experience working with children, starting with family and growing through trusted referrals. I'm warm, patient, and reliable, and I love keeping kids engaged through crafts, outdoor play, reading, and creative activities while maintaining structure with routines like meals, homework, and bedtime. I'm a UCLA graduate and have worked as a behavioral technician with children on the autism spectrum, which has made me adaptable, attentive, and supportive of each child's unique needs.

Booked by 1 family in Huntington Park, CA

Dixie, my first pet, joined our family when I was just a year old, teaching me lessons of love, loyalty, patience, and protection. My deep affection for animals translates into special connections, and I care for them as if they were my own. I've mastered the art of training animals tricks. Recently I have trained my sister's new puppy to take treats gently, sit, and spin on command. Additionally, my cats now respond to the command to stand up. Animals have significantly contributed to my mental well-being, and I value the opportunity Rover provides to get out of the house to go on walks with new animal companions. Looking forward for the chance to meeting your furry friend soon❤️
