Priscilla $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Priscilla. I am a full time school counselor for a TK-8 school. I’m offering child care, senior care, pet care and house hold services. I love my current job but am hoping to be able to work part time in addition to what I currently do. Most of my experience comes from working with my family/ friends and referrals they made on my behalf. My experience with children ranges from working with infants, coaching, educating and providing mental health supports. In other held positions I also organized/ran children events such as crafting activities, workshops, and cheer teams. This experience has been both professional and personal over the span of 18 years. Senior care and animal care has been primarily personal experience. The level of care I provided varied based on needs. However, I feel comfortable and confident to provide this type of support to families.

Andrea $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Andrea and I'm currently a college student studying to become a children's psychologist, so working with kids is what I truly love. Families would describe me as responsible, dependable, patient, and someone their children would feel comfortable with. I love arts and crafts, music, and creating a fun environment where kids feel supported. I am committed to providing the best care possible and excited to get to know your family.

Ma. Chantal $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a professional educator currently working within the San Diego Unified School District as a TK teacher at a Mandarin immersion school. I have been in the education sector since 2007. I have a Master of Science degree in Education with a Concentration in Literacy and Reading. I am a single parent to a high schooler and a shih tzu. My Professional Background: Teaching experience: I started out my career as an educator as a Child Development Center Assistant then took on the role of an Independence Facilitator. I worked my way up to becoming a teacher while taking Child Development courses, and completing my master's degree as well as a Graduate Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Specialized experience: I have had the privilege to work as a behavioral therapist (trained in ABA) for five years for private non-profit organizations. Foster care: I proudly served as a foster parent to children with special needs for eight years. My caregiving philosophy: I love being a teacher! It is my absolute pleasure watching young children grow, learn, and meet their developmental milestones. Inside the home, I bring the same organization, loving structure, and accountability that I use in my classroom. For example, I teach my 3-5 year old students how to be responsible by guiding them through routines such as cleaning up after themselves. I ensure every child receives equal and individualized attention tailored to their own unique personality. I love to read, cook, and bake. I enjoy talking with children about random things under the sun. It is my greatest joy to learn from them just as much as they learn from me. I am seeking a rewarding supplemental role and be productive during school breaks and in the afternoons or evenings when I have down time. I am comfortable working in homes with friendly dogs and cats. If you believe my educational background and experience align with your family's needs, I would love to connect!
