$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in San Lorenzo, CA

Hello! My name is Jia and I am a recent graduate from San Francisco State University. I have an extensive background working with children, mainly grades K-6th. I have worked at an afterschool/summer program for 6 years (2 years volunteer, 4 years paid), looking after around 50 kids at a time. My roles there included chaperoning on daily park trips and weekly field trips, taking care of lunch and cleanup operations, as well as tutoring on math and English. My top priority is to always ensure the children are safe, but also to add some fun into their day! I understand that every child has different needs, so I’m always adapting and learning as I go. I can assist with cooking/meal prepping, cleaning, and running any errands as well if necessary. I also speak Mandarin and Cantonese!

“Jia is wonderful! Our 9 month old baby boy adored her immediately. She was so attentive and in tune to his needs, managed his nap schedule - which was difficult because she was with him right after a big trip where his sleep schedule got thrown off. She also completed house projects without direction while he was napping - washed all of his bottles, toys from our trip, mashed his sweet potatoes, organized his clothes, etc. We are so thrilled we found Jia and can’t wait to work with her again. ”

Hello! My name is Juliana, and I am 18 years old. I was born and raised in Oakland, California, and I am currently pursuing a degree in Education with a minor in Child Development. Working with children is something I am truly passionate about, and I have over four years of experience caring for and mentoring kids of different ages. I am energetic, responsible, and dependable, with a fun and goofy personality that helps me build positive connections with children. I enjoy creating engaging activities, supporting learning and development, and making sure children feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also have quick reflexes and stay attentive at all times, allowing me to respond quickly in any situation. My goal is to provide a nurturing, supportive, and enjoyable environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I look forward to bringing my experience, enthusiasm, and dedication to your family.
