Kailen Deer Park
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Kailen and I’m currently a full time college student at San Jacinto. I offer child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love being around people and meeting new people, I have been around kids my whole life and helped take care of infants to pre-teens. My responsibilities have included driving to and from school, crafts, and really good tutor. I can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a care taker for my grandparents before they passed away, I helped them workout, eat, walk, take blood sugar and they had cancer and dementia. I also love dogs so I wouldn’t mind pets.

Alyza Pasadena
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello there!! My names Alyza and I am excited to help busy parents and their adorable children! I have a strong background in childcare and a natural passion for caring for kids. Not only do I have professional experience as an RBT, working with children on the autism spectrum and supporting their growth, but I’m also a mom myself, which gives me a deep understanding of the patience, love, and responsibility that comes with looking after little ones. Along with childcare, I’m happy to provide support around the home and with pets. As a dog mom to three big pups, I’m very comfortable handling animals and making sure they’re well cared for too. My experience combines professional training, personal parenting, and a genuine love for children and families, which makes me a reliable and compassionate caretaker you can count on.

Hi my name is Emily Moore (no longer Poblano, as I am married now), I’m 25 years old and I’ve been babysitting/ petsitting for 8 years now. I’m the oldest of 4 kids so I’ve got lots of experience with all ages. I was a 1st grade teacher to 5 kids during my junior year of high school and loved planning activities for the kids. I love to sing, dance, swim, go to the park, and explore new things. I am CERT certified, bilingual(English/Spanish), and I’ve always had so much patience with kids of any age. I’m also very good with pets of all kinds, I have 1 dog myself (lab mix). I also do have a car, I’m an amazing cook, and I can always help out with any housework needed. Im also very flexible with my time. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to message me. I am willing to drive to further locations, but I do charge $10/20 miles as a gas fee (less than 20 miles is no extra charge) IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK WITH A COLD/FLU/COVID/COUGH AND YOU DO NOT INFORM ME BEFORE HAND, I WILL HAVE TO CHARGE $100 FOR THE INCONVENIENCE/ NON PREVENTATIVE ACTION TAKEN. Thank you have a blessed day:)
