Elysia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Elysia, and I am currently a senior at UCLA. I have a passion for working with children and serving our youth in any way I can. Kids truly bring so much joy to life, and I love connecting with them while supporting their growth, confidence, and creativity. I hope to not only be a caregiver, but also a positive mentor and role model for the children I work with. I have hands on experience working at the Boys & Girls Club, where I formulated weekly lesson plans that encouraged student participation through interactive activities and creative projects. I focused fun and engaging learning experiences while fostering an environment where children felt safe to express themselves and develop critical thinking skills. Creating a supportive and welcoming space was always my top priority. Through this role, I demonstrated strong leadership and mentorship by guiding students in personal growth, helping them set attainable goals, and motivating them through positive reinforcement and recognition of their accomplishments. This approach helped increase their self confidence and enthusiasm toward both academics and daily life. I also implemented structured daily routines to provide consistency, while maintaining a warm, caring, and positive attitude when working with both individuals and groups of children. Overall, I strive to ensure a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and inspired to be their best selves. I truly love working with kids and feel grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in their lives.

Tara $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Tara. I have my Bachelors in Business Administration and work in the tech field. Since childhood I’ve been passionate about helping children learn and grow. I’ve been a nanny since I was a child myself, starting with a baby-sitters club I made with my best friend in 6th grade. I have extensive experience working with infants to grade school aged children and also focused my early career working at Challenger School and nannying for various families. I enjoy spending my spare time singing, reading, gardening, creating art, baking, traveling to new places, skiing, spending time outdoors, and being around family.
