Megan $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Megan and I am currently working at a Daycare/Preschool setting. I have been working with infants and toddlers, I am offering childcare and preschool age care. I am also offering Household services (I can run errands no problem!) I love working with preschoolers, I have been doing it since I was 30 years old for a total of 8 years altogether. My responsibilities have included supervision of children, and doing crafts and coloring with them, putting them down for naps preparing snacks and lunches (per the school schedule) and assisting with the potty. My other experience has been with infants and toddlers following after the preschool age recently; which I follow their feeding schedules along with singing songs, playing with them, diaper changes on the hour, then putting them down for scheduled naps in infant’s cribs. I have received and completed my CPR/AED & First Aid training Certificate for Infants, toddlers and kids. I am not fond of really big dogs, but I am happy with working with families with medium size to small puppies or dogs in the home. I am not a cat person at all.

Isabella $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a recent CSUF graduate with my B.S. in Marine Biology and was on full scholarship for cross country and track. I was involved in both athletic leadership and I am in the process of publishing my first research paper. I have been babysitting for toddlers and up ever since I was 12. I have also had dogs my whole life and I currently have cats and also had bearded dragons for several years so I can offer all the pet care! I also LOVE cleaning and organizing and have been doing yard work my whole life. I take playing outside and in creative ways with the children. I can also help tutor or sit down and read with them for a while. I do have my own car if any form of transportation is needed for grocery shopping, park time, etc. I am an open book and excited to meet you and your family!

Carissa $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a responsible and patient caregiver with experience working with children of all ages, from infants to school-age students. I currently attend Liberty University and am majoring in Elementary Education, with a goal to become a teacher somewhere in the range of 1st-3rd grade. As part of my degree, I have completed several practicums in a classroom and several tutoring sessions as well, which included tutoring students in reading, writing, math, social studies, and science. I have also grown up babysitting since around the age of 13, so I am very familiar with creating a positive, fun, and safe environment for kids. I’m organized, reliable, and comfortable managing routines such as meals, homework, and bedtime. I love creating a positive, engaging environment through activities, learning, and play, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and building trust with every family I work with.
