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.

Megan $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Megan and I am currently working at a Daycare/Preschool setting. I have been working with infants and toddlers, I am offering childcare and preschool age care. I am also offering Household services (I can run errands no problem!) I love working with preschoolers, I have been doing it since I was 30 years old for a total of 8 years altogether. My responsibilities have included supervision of children, and doing crafts and coloring with them, putting them down for naps preparing snacks and lunches (per the school schedule) and assisting with the potty. My other experience has been with infants and toddlers following after the preschool age recently; which I follow their feeding schedules along with singing songs, playing with them, diaper changes on the hour, then putting them down for scheduled naps in infant’s cribs. I have received and completed my CPR/AED & First Aid training Certificate for Infants, toddlers and kids. I am not fond of really big dogs, but I am happy with working with families with medium size to small puppies or dogs in the home. I am not a cat person at all.
