Hi all, I am a graduate student and have just finished 8 years as a high school teacher. I have over 10 years of childcare experience and I am looking for a family to support as I complete my graduate program. I have experience working with families with kids ranging in age from newborn-teens. In the past I have managed a summer camp, taught outdoor education, worked as a full-time nanny, and now I am a teacher. I am active, caring and creative and enjoy spending time outside, crafts, cooking, and more. I am looking forward to getting to know your family!
Hi! I'm Maya, a senior at Chapman University studying Computer Science and Neuroscience. I am looking for a part time job for the summer. I've been babysitting for 7 years, mostly with elementary-aged kids. My responsibilities have included driving kids to/from activities, crafts, and light cleaning/cooking. I also have two younger siblings, 11 and 19, and being a big sister has taught me patience and empathy. I enjoy the wild imagination that kids have as well as their endless amounts of energy! I'm warm, responsible and make it my first priority to create a safe and positive environment for the kids I care for.
“Maya was wonderful with our children. She helped them bring art projects to life, she helped them eat their vegetables, she was gentle and kind with skinned knees. We hired her for a summer babysitting job and got to know her over three months. I highly recommend her!! ”
Hi! My name is Maya, and I’m a 20-year-old junior at UCLA, double majoring in Architecture and Geography. I’m originally from San Francisco and currently living in Los Angeles for school. I have several years of experience babysitting and have also worked as a camp counselor at the Bay Club for multiple summers, where I supervised groups of children of different ages, planned activities, handled conflict resolution, and ensured a safe and fun environment. Through this experience, I’ve developed strong skills in communication, patience, organization, creativity, and responsibility. I genuinely love working with kids and enjoy engaging them in games, crafts, outdoor activities, and homework help. I’m calm under pressure, attentive to children’s needs, and always prioritize safety while making sure kids feel supported and happy. I’m also very comfortable with pets and dog sitting, as I love animals and have experience caring for them as well. Whether it’s babysitting, caregiving, or pet sitting, I’m reliable, punctual, and take pride in being someone families can trust. I’d love the opportunity to support your family, feel free to reach out!
Hi! I’m Hozana, a caring, responsible, and patient caregiver with experience as an au pair. I love working with children and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment. I’m reliable, organized, and always respectful of each family’s routine.
I am looking for a child care / household service job during the weekdays afternoons and weekends. I have Associate Education in Hospitality management and B.S degree in Accounting. I have experiences work for 2-3 families as a mother’s helper. I live in SSF with my husband and daughter. I’m a non-smoker, non- alcoholic person. I used to be a full time mom. I took care of my daughter since she was born until she went to 2nd grade. Through the time with my daughter, I learned how to raise a happy, loving, curious, positive, kind, and confident child. I think build a strong growth mindset at early age is very important. Building a good foundation of reading and math skills will help kids to learn better and achieve academic success in the future. I volunteered at a nursery school when my daughter attended that school. I enjoyed the time with children. I prepared meals/ snacks for them, I watched them to play in the playground, feed the rabbits / chickens. I helped them to do crafts, drawing, story time, and play game. It was a great experience for me. The earlier child development is very important as 99% of brain developed before they turning 5 years old. Good eating habits, sleeping routine, quality activities, and reading are very important for children. I love kids. I like to read books to kids, bring kids outside to play, take kids to the park, museums,or library. In my spare time, I like sleeping, hiking, reading, coloring, planting, cuddling my cats. I speak English, Chinese Mandarin, and I understand Cantonese.
