Hi! My name is Sara, I’m 27 years old. My major is in stem and I graduated cum laude from San Francisco State University. I recently completed the teaching credential program at Cal State LA. I am currently applying to teach high school science (biology/anatomy/earth and space) for next school year. During the week I am a substitute teacher so my schedule is REALLY flexible!! (^: I have work experience in mentoring/tutoring services, summer camp counseling, retail, medical administration at Cedars Sinai, and substitute teaching. Although I do not have formal training in caregiving, I have had plenty of years of experience caregiving for younger family members as well as watching over multiple pets for extended periods of time. I am a kind and caring person and I get along with children and pets very easily! I am quick at picking up routines/ fulfilling requests too. Thanks for the opportunity. I look forward to working with you! (^:

Savannah $22 per hour for 1 child

I am a college student majoring in Psychology and currently pursuing certifications as a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA).

My experience includes babysitting, pet care, cooking, and performing basic household responsibilities such as cleaning and laundry.
