Claudia Chico
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Claudia! I am a freshmen at San Francisco State majoring in psychology. I am offering child care and light household care services. In my hometown, I worked as a youth leader for a summer camp where I logged six weeks of leading and mentoring a group of 10 kids ages 5-8. I also provided care for a 9 year old regularly for about 2 years until I moved to SF for college. I try to share my love of art and creating with the kids I have worked with. Whether its helping with homework, keeping up with routines, or planning fun activties, I have learned how to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can thrive!

Fern Chico
$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Fern and I am a second year student at Chico State. I am from the Central Valley and I have many years of experience with kids ages 1 to 13. Throughout high school I was a nanny 3 days a week and also babysat for several other families when needed. This summer I worked at an overnight soccer camp ages ranging from around 8 to 17, averaging about 150 kids per week, giving me so much experience with child care and how to manage stressful situations that may occur. My strongest skill set is definitely patients. Throughout my experience with kids I have become very patient and learned that every child is very different so the best thing to do is to be patient and understanding with each one. The amount of amazing families and kids I have met the past few years has been the most rewarding part of babysitting and I hope to meet many more! This year I have a very open and flexible schedule and hope to help anyone in need!

Olivia Chico
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia and I’m attending SBCC this fall! I move in July, and hope to become a babysitter/ nanny around then! I have 5 years of experience babysitting (ages 1.5 months and older) for numerous families around my town! I don’t know what my schedule for school is like yet, but I should be available majority of the time :) I’m also open to house sitting, pet sitting, and running errands!
