Fiona $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Fiona. I'm from the UK but I've been living in the US for 7 years. I’m offering child care and senior care. I have been working with children for over 20 years in many different settings. I've taught music and dance classes to mums with little ones, taught dance in Primary Schools, been a full time nanny to a beautiful baby boy from 3 months until he was 2. I cared for a little girl from the age of 3-5. We loved baking together and going on outside adventures. More recently I was the director of a thriving children's ministry for a church. I was in charge of the welfare, curriculum programming and entertainment of over 150 children between the ages of 0-11 every Sunday. This included a nursery. I was in this role for 5 years. I have an undergraduate degree in Dance, and a Masters in Writing for Children from the University of Winchester, UK. Right now, I work for an organization where I write Bible studies for children who struggle with reading, helping them to engage in creative ways. I've also taught seated dance classes in senior homes across London. I spearheaded and intergenerational project called "Connecting the Generations", bringing little ones and seniors together through music and movement. I love to sing, dance, bake, read stories, and spend time outside. I aim to see those in my care thrive. I always bring approachability, warmth, patience, and fun when I'm looking after kids and seniors.

Sasha $21 per hour for 1 child

I’m a recent college graduate who recently moved to Los Angeles. I’ve spent my summers at camp, first as a camper and later as a counselor, where I loved helping create the same meaningful experiences I had as a camper. I also have experience tutoring students throughout high school. In my senior year of college, I took an elective that partnered us with a local school, meeting weekly with a small group of students — it quickly became one of my favorite classes, and solidified my passion for working with kids in educational settings.
