Ana $22 per hour for 1 child
Hello, my name is Ana and I’m currently a senior at Dominican University of California. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household I love being a babysitter and have worked with kids ages 1-15. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and meal cooking. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own father who suffered from a stroke in 2021 and left him completely paralyzed from the right side of his body, so I am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I am more than happy to work with families that have cats and dogs. I am also more than happy to take dogs out for walks and to appointments if needed!
Gladys $25 per hour for 1 child
I am an experienced and caring babysitter, as well as a mom myself. Being a parent has given me hands-on experience in caring for children, understanding their individual needs, and creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. I am patient, responsible, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with children. I am comfortable helping with meals, playtime, bedtime routines, homework, and everyday childcare needs. My goal is always to make children feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while giving parents peace of mind.
