Jorgea $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Jorgea andI'm an 18 year old student in college. I currently work for an afterschool program where I provide a safe environment for children ages 4-12, as well as assist in homework, create fun crafts, and engage in fun, tech-free activities. I love getting to watch each kid grow and help in guiding them to find the type of person they'd like to be! I also grew up looking after younger siblings and cousins since I was 14. I would be happy to help in driving to and from places. I am allergic to cats but am happy to help with families with dogs.

Booked by 1 family in Vacaville, CA

I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages, from infants to pre-teens. My passion for childcare comes from growing up in a big family of 6 siblings where I often looked after all my nieces and nephews. Babysitting has taught me patience, creativity, and responsibility, and I truly enjoy being part of a child’s growth and daily routines. I’m reliable, organized, and calm under pressure, but I also bring a fun and energetic side to any workplace I am in. I love planning activities like arts and crafts, reading stories, or playing games that keep kids entertained and engaged. Safety is always my top priority, and I’m confident handling bedtime routines, homework, teaching chores, and having fun while being safe. Parents describe me as dependable, kind, and someone who makes their kids feel comfortable right away. Babysitting isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I strive to create a safe, fun, and caring environment for every child I watch. I look forward to each day to go to work.
