Summer $22 per hour for 1 child

I volunteered at a daycare for one year, where I assisted in caring for children ages 2–4. My responsibilities included supervising activities, helping with meals, supporting nap time routines, and reading to the children. This experience helped me develop strong childcare skills, patience, and the ability to create a safe and positive environment for young children. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from San Diego State University (SDSU) and am also comfortable caring for animals. I have previously completed CPR training; although my certification recently expired, I am willing to renew it before providing care for children or seniors. I am highly patient, dependable, and an effective communicator. In addition, I worked as a Shift Supervisor at KFC for eight years, where I independently managed shifts and was responsible for team leadership, conflict resolution, staff coordination, and delivering excellent customer service. This role strengthened my organizational skills, leadership abilities, and sense of responsibility. With extensive experience in the food service industry, I am knowledgeable about food safety regulations, proper food handling and preparation procedures, and maintaining high standards of cleanliness and sanitation.

I am a second-oldest sibling to 6 (one older sister!) and a private music teacher for all ages! In addition to regular care, I am happy to provide voice, piano and string lessons. I’m happy to do sitting in the mornings before work and open to date nights/ overnight depending on the circumstances.

Hi! I’m Brianna — a recent nursing graduate with almost 10 years of experience caring for kids. I absolutely love working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. I enjoy helping with homework, crafts, and fun activities that keep them engaged and happy. I also work part-time as a caregiver for seniors, providing support, companionship, and a caring presence. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and love helping families however I can — whether that’s with light cleaning, cooking, errands, or pet care.

Andrea $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Andrea and I'm currently a college student studying to become a children's psychologist, so working with kids is what I truly love. Families would describe me as responsible, dependable, patient, and someone their children would feel comfortable with. I love arts and crafts, music, and creating a fun environment where kids feel supported. I am committed to providing the best care possible and excited to get to know your family.
