Hi! My name is Gillian, and I’m a junior at csulb. I offer child care services, pet services, and household services. I have been babysitting toddlers since I was 15 years old and can help with driving, tutoring, cooking, and cleaning. I love playing with kids and can always keep them entertained. I also have worked as a behavioral technician for 6 months, which involves behavioral therapy for children with autism. I can work with any pets, I love dogs and cats!
My name is Nancy. I am the first born daughter of 8 children. I’ve been helping my mom take care of my siblings which have built the foundation of my profession. I’m currently a preschool teacher and have previous experience with being a substitute teacher for about 6 years. Through substituting, I was able to obtain a lot of my professional experience. I’ve been to a vast amount of daycares where I got to see and learn different learning styles in children as well as different approaches to learning and teaching children to achieve their milestones. I’ve been in a classroom where I’ve had to potty train and can say I was able to learn a few techniques. I’ve also been “long-term” in some sites where I was able to grow a bond with some of the children and celebrate their success. I do have a sibling with Asperger’s autism who is 15, so I have some experience with children on the spectrum.
Hi. My name is Claudia. I am mostly available Friday nights and weekends but can do some occasional weekdays. Currently available most days during the summer! I have been working with children for 11 years. I can also provide references. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I love pets! I do not have any allergies to dogs or cats so yay! I’m comfortable walking dogs of all sizes. I have 2 small dogs and 2 big German Shepherds at home.
Hi! My name is Valerie, i’m currently working as an Academic Instructor for Elementary students companied by CSUF. I am offering child care, household services, and pet care. Throughout the past 5 years I’ve grown to love being of help and support others. I love being a babysitter and being someone who can help out in any way. I carry the responsibility of driving to/from work, creating fun educational activities, and pet care. I also offer household services and can clean, cook, and run errands. I have been babysitting my own family for years, taking care of pets, running errands, or driving to appointments. I also trained in CPR/ Infant/Pediatric AID and can provide certification.
I’ve been working with kids since 2005, and caring for families has always felt like second nature to me. Over the years I’ve been a live-in nanny and a house manager, so I’m very comfortable juggling busy schedules, helping with homework, keeping the home organized, and making sure kids feel safe and supported. I’ve worked with children of all ages and I really enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and what makes them feel happy and understood. I’m reliable, calm, and confident handling whatever the day brings. My goal is always to make life easier for parents while creating a warm, fun environment for their kids.
