Priscilla $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone!!! I am an experienced sitter for every necessary help. I love kids and pets so I don't have any problem with babysitting or petsitting. I have been helping my family take care of kids for as long as I can remember and can handle a baby. I have been an experienced behavior analyst for the past 4 years so I have worked with kids with special needs. I used to be a teacher's aid as well as a teacher for kindergarden kiddos. I also have had pets for the past 16 years. I can cat sit or dog sit. I can do dog walking. I can shower them. I can pick up their poop, or clean litter boxes. I really do what you need around the house. I can prep dinners, I can do errands, I can clean. I enjoy organization. I am first aid and cpr certified because I have to be for work purposes. Please let me know if you have any questions for me. If necessary, I can also give you a reference or two. I live in Baldwin Park/West Covina. My availability is M/T/TH 9am-2:30pm W/F 9am-6pm.

I have experience with children from 0-10 years old, and I am currently CPR certified. I also love caring for animals (mainly dogs and cats) I'm looking for a part-time job while I attend graduate school starting in August of this year. I currently hold a Bachelors degree in sociology, which helps me better understand the behavior of children and the developmental process. I tutor a little part-time in Science and English writing, and don't mind running a few errands from time to time. I love dogs and children, and have two each.

Carissa $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a responsible and patient caregiver with experience working with children of all ages, from infants to school-age students. I currently attend Liberty University and am majoring in Elementary Education, with a goal to become a teacher somewhere in the range of 1st-3rd grade. As part of my degree, I have completed several practicums in a classroom and several tutoring sessions as well, which included tutoring students in reading, writing, math, social studies, and science. I have also grown up babysitting since around the age of 13, so I am very familiar with creating a positive, fun, and safe environment for kids. I’m organized, reliable, and comfortable managing routines such as meals, homework, and bedtime. I love creating a positive, engaging environment through activities, learning, and play, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and building trust with every family I work with.

Cheryl $30 per hour for 1 child

TUTOR..KINDERGARTEN - 3RD GRADE (FULLERTON, BREA, ANAHEIM, YORBA LINDA, PLACENTIA) offered in person Hi, my name is Cheryl. I would like to invite you to allow me to TUTOR your child in your home, or local library. I tutor students from Kindergarten through 3rd grade. I have a Bachelor of Science in Child Development, and I spent 14 years as a public school teacher. This gave me a plethora of skills I use today, working one on one with students in KINDERGARTEN - 3rd GRADE. I have been tutoring for over 20 years. I also have 4 years of teaching 2nd grade students in an a after school program called "THINK TOGETHER." I worked with students in Santa Ana. This program consisted of about 20 students per teacher. I provided help to students with homework, reading skills, language arts, mathematics, writing, and art. I am not trained in teaching autistic children, but I do have experience working with autistic students. I tutor most of the students I have now skills ranging from reading, writing, math, language arts, and help with homework. I hope to hear from you to discuss hiring me as a tutor for your child. I have a positive approach to my tutoring which is focused on the highest potential for your child.
