My name is Kam, aged 60, living in Monterey Park. With 2 sons (aged 23 & 21), I was social-work & special education trained teacher in Hong Kong for 10 years, working with special-need children & teenage girls with family, behavioral & emotional problems. After immigrating to USA, I've been serving in church for kids from babies up to elementary schools for over 20 years. I’ve been a paid babysitter for kids from babies to 5-years old for 7 years. With patience, knowledge & skills, caring & loving heart, I love working with kids. I'll strive to provide a safe, fun, enjoyable environment, which your kid will grow happily.

I have been working with children and adults since I was 18 years old, I have gained hands on experience across a range of care settings. My experience includes working with adults in nursing homes, to support them in their daily living activities. Providing attentive and developmental care to Infants and children at home. I have multiple professional qualifications one being a Registered Behavioral Technician, I provide support to children at home and school settings where I implement behavioral plans to strengthen their social and communications skills. My overall experience reflects my commitment and compassion to continue to care and support those who I work with.
Hello. I have 10+ years working with kids from newborns to teenagers. I am also third oldest of seven kids, so some of that experience did come from watching my siblings growing up. I work in the food industry and have 14years experience. I have 2 elder dogs, they are a terrier mix that I had the opportunity of taking in as puppies (3-4 weeks,) they just turned 15 years, so I have experience with dogs, smaller dogs, but I love all dogs regardless. I mainly love baking and creating fun little treats but I do know my way around a kitchen as well. I’ve been a creative person my whole life, so both visual arts and performing arts are things I’m passionate about. I’m a very neat, organized and detail oriented person, so helping with household chores is something I can assist with as well. My fulltime job was affected by the LA fires (Jan. 2025) and I’ve yet to find another full time job to work in tandem with my part time job. I’m looking for something with a set schedule, and preferably something earlier in the day.
Hi! My name is Paola, and I am offering child care services. I have been working with students ages 3-12 for 3 years. I graduated as a medical assistant, and I am first aid and CPR certified for adults and children. Some activities I do with the kids are arts and crafts, outdoor activities such as sports or dance, and at home reading and homework.
