Hailey $23 per hour for 1 child

I have over 6 years of childcare and 2 years of infant care experience. I have cared for children of various ages, which has helped me develop patience, reliability, strong communication skills, and a nurturing approach. I also have work experience with children of special needs and those on the spectrum. I am CPR and first aid certified, I am attentive, compassionate, and organized, with a natural ability to build trust and create a safe, positive environment. My experience includes supervising daily activities, homework help/tutoring, assisting with routines, meal preps, light household tasks relating to the child’s needs or any pet needs. I love animals and strongly believe that pets are a part of the family. In previous years I have helped with taking pets for walks, assisting with medical needs such as shots or giving medications with meals, as well as keeping them company while family members are traveling. I genuinely enjoy helping others and am eager to bring the same level of care, companionship, and dependability to any family that requires help.

Kaya $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Kaya! I am currently a student-athlete at Pacific Lutheran University. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have extensive experience in caregiving and providing support to others. I have worked at children’s camps through SCATS Gymnastics and the Huntington Beach Parks and Recreation summer program, where I supervised and cared for kids in a safe and positive environment. I have also babysat, driven children to and from activities, cared for pets, and house-sat while family and friends are away. As a collegiate student-athlete and nursing student, I have developed strong time management, discipline, and organizational skills. Being part of a team has taught me to be dependable, hardworking, and responsible. I am passionate about caring for others and enjoy creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment. My experience with children, pets, and household responsibilities, combined with my dedication and compassionate nature, make me a reliable and enthusiastic caregiver.
