Hi, I’m Moira! I am a compassionate and adaptable individual who is dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of others. I have a passion for working with people of all ages and abilities, with a particular focus on infants/toddlers, adolescents, and teens. My professional and volunteer background includes experience in child care, education, experiential learning, and as a social worker for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Currently, I am working as a youth rock climbing coach, where I have expanded my knowledge of experiential education and coaching skills, as well as developed a passion for mentoring and empowering young people. Through my work and volunteering, I have experience working with individuals of varying physical and intellectual disabilities. This has taught me the importance of compassion, patience, and effective communication in building meaningful connections with others. I enjoy adapting to different individual’s needs to create inclusive environments that allow people to thrive! In addition to my work with people, I also have experience with house and pet sitting. My love for animals has made me a natural fit for this type of work, and I am confident in my ability to care for furry friends of all shapes and sizes!
Hello! My name is Tess. I was born and raised in the Bay Area and have been babysitting for the past ten years. During the pandemic, I worked as a nanny for a pod of four children between the ages of four and eight. I enjoyed programming different crafts and games for the kids to keep busy! I have recently returned home after college, and I am excited to start babysitting again. Please reach out! I have a lot of availability in my schedule. Best, Tess
Hello! I'm Jada, I'm a recently licensed nurse with BLS certification and 1.5 years of experience working with children and seniors in the nursing school clinical setting. I enjoy this population because I consistently learn something new everytime I'm with them. I'm a great communicator, problem-solver, and critical thinker and have been known to construct solutions quickly. I'm a great caregiver because I want to do the best I can to meet the needs of my clients by being present, engaged, and having fun!
I have over 15 years of experience as a part-time babysitter for families in Los Angeles, CA for children ages 0 (newborns) to 16. I also helped raise my two nieces from birth to ages 8 and 9 respectively speaking with them in Japanese, Spanish, and English. I am comfortable with babies, toddlers, elementary age and adolescents. I also have 3 years of experience as a substitute teacher in Los Angeles, CA. I have done pet-sitting and house-sitting for friends. Currently, I work full-time as a grant writer for the City of Philadelphia's Department of Behavioral Health. I am looking for part-time evening and weekend work to supplement my income. I am flexible evenings after 5pm during the week and generally available on the weekends.
Hi, I’m Lauren Fowler! I am currently 23 years old and in college studying psychology. I have a huge passion for kids and spend almost all my free time babysitting and loving on babies. I have been a nanny twice for ages ranging 1 month-7 years old. I am comfortable working with multiple children as I might prefer more if I had the option. The more the better. I also volunteer in at my church every Sunday in the walkers room. Every parent loves me and I can provide recommendations if needed! I look forward to talking!
