Booked by 1 family in Manteca, CA

Hi! My name is Makaila. I’m currently a student at SJDC. I am offering child care ages 2+, pet care, & household services. My availability is Monday-Friday mornings and full availability on Saturday & Sunday. I have worked with children ages 5-6 for about 6 months as a teacher's assistant. My current job is as an after-school program leader caring for children ages 4-6. My responsibilities include driving to & from the school site, tutoring, & supervising children. I have pets of my own, 3 dogs & 2 cats. I have dog-sat in the past & am comfortable with dogs & cats. I don’t have experience caring for other animals, but I would love to give it a try!

“Makalia was very patient and attentive with my 22 month old daughter. She also offered to clean the home. ”
