Elizabeth $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello I'm Beth! I'm a current CSUMB sophomore who has worked with kids professionally for the past 4 years and have taken care of my siblings since I was 13. I am offering care for toddlers, kids, pets, and homes. For the summers of 2022 to 2024 I was a summer camp counselor for ages 6-10 and this most recent summer I was the site lead for the camp. Some of my responsibilities were to choose and lead crafts and games for groups of up to 30 kids, manage day to day activities like lunch, swimming, and reading time, and communicate with parents about any happenings in their kid's day. I have a drivers license and also have a lot of experience cleaning and organizing. I can make simple meals, run errands, lead many different games, and organize crafts. One way I like to promote learning with children is to disguise it as something fun, using competition or mysteries to entice them.

Aaralyn $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Seaside, CA

I am a responsible and dependable college student at California State University, Monterey Bay, studying psychology with a strong interest in child development and education. I have experience working with children through volunteering and classroom settings, and I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where kids can learn and have fun. Families describe me as patient, caring, organized, and reliable. I am comfortable helping with homework, supervising activities, preparing simple meals, and assisting with light household tasks. In addition to childcare, I have extensive experience caring for animals. I grew up around dogs, cats, chickens, and horses, so I am comfortable with pet sitting, feeding, exercising, and providing attentive care for a variety of pets. I also love to do arts and crafts, sing, dance, watch movies, bake, and learn new hobbies with kiddos!!
