Hello, Attention: I don't work with sick kids or recovering kids from cold, flu and so on. Thank you for understanding! Now back to me: I'm 37 years old. Have experience babysitting for 10 years on this website. I have a 6 year old and a 10 year old kids myself. Primarily looking to work for someone who would want to go on a date, to work or so on ( 4-12 hours). Anywhere from occasional to a few times a week jobs. Tutoring/Homeschooling for grades 3rd and under available for 15$ an hour at my place. Have experience from homeschooling my son since he was 2.5 years old and school affiliated homeschooling since March of 2020. Plus was totally homeschooled for 1st grade. Overnight/Daycare, closed days care is also provided. if you can bring your kid over to my place rate is 15$/hour per kid. 18$ for two etc. Have a separate room with 2 twin mattresses and also have pack and play if needed for younger ones. For older kids 3 and up I usually bring activities like a coloring book with markers , activity books, stickers or a small art project to do ( beads, mosaics) Ok with driving to your place or you can drop the kid off at mine either way is fine depends on the time of day. At our place we have back yard, pool ( gated and only operational during summer time) , toys, building blocks, magnet-tiles, marbles maze, duplos, puzzles, painting, beads, art table, and a park walking distance away it’s a walkway from our house so no roads need to be crossed ( if you are ok with me taking kids to the park). For babies we also have pack and play, baby safe toys. So if you want to drop a baby off here just bring diapers, bottles, formula/breast milk and wipes as some kids are sensitive to different wipes. Hope to talk to someone soon:)

Booked by 4 families in Oak View, CA

I have at least 5 years of babysitting experience. I can also help with Light Housekeeping and Cooking/Cleaning. I have a license and I am safe and reliable. Being a child caregiver/babysitter is something that means so very much to me! I love children and have completed a volunteer internship with Kids Hope USA through Christian Association and Eagle Rock Elementary. I volunteered in my small home church before it closed during the pandemic as the Co-Lead Teacher in a Sunday School program. I enjoy singing, reading, listening to stories, sharing experiences with others and encouraging children to do their best!

“My daughter said she really likes Jessica. Very friendly and patient. She read books and play games with her. Recommended! ”
