Leila $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Leila and I’m currently a sophomore and psychology major at SDSU. I am offering child care and senior care. I love kids with my whole heart. At home, in the Bay Area, I work at an elementary and middle school. During the year I worked in the after school program with kids ranging from kindergarten to 8th grade and during the summer I teach art at the summer camp! I have a little sister that I have always taken care of. We are 8 years apart but super close. We love to draw, read, and go to the beach together. I have done volunteering at multiple senior homes. There, I helped to cook, organize and engage in art activities, lead bingo, and took them on walks. I am comfortable with driving to appointments as well or other tasks. My grandparents are close by in Los Angeles and I try to visit them as much as I can. Recently, at college I have enjoyed cooking and baking. On my own time, I love to draw. I’m always happy to do art with whoever I am spending time with! I love to read as well. At my school job, I tutored the younger kids in reading and math. Also, I love all pets and I am happy to have pet responsibilities as well. At home, I have a dog, a cat, and some fish. I am very organized, kind, and patient. I handle issues quickly and have good time management. This semester, I have a busy schedule but I have free time in the late afternoon and evening on Monday and Wednesday. On Tuesday and Thursday, I am free in the evening. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I am free at any time!

Booked by 2 families in La Mesa, CA

I’m an experienced childcare professional with over seven years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I’ve been both a live-in and full-time nanny, and I’ve supported multiple families over the years with everything from daily routines to developmental activities. I also worked as an after-school program leader for middle school students, giving me strong skills in homework support, behavior management, and creating fun, structured activities. I have experience with children from 2 months up to 12 years old, and I’m confident handling schedules, meal prep, light cleaning, naps, school pick-ups, and creating a safe, warm environment. I’m very organized, reliable, and clean, and I have my own car with a valid driver’s license. I am also CPR certified/infant first aid certified. I love helping families feel supported and making sure their kids feel cared for, engaged, and comfortable!

Maliyah $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maliyah Domingo. I am an 18-year-old college student at Grossmont College. As the oldest of three siblings, I’ve spent much of my life helping care for younger children and understand the importance of patience, communication, and consistency. Caregiving has always been a passion of mine that has motivated me to go to school for nursing. Services that I offer include infant care, toddler care, senior care, care for multiple children, after-school care, homework help, meal and snack preparation, bedtime routines, diaper changing, housekeeping, arts and crafts, outdoor activities and play, sick childcare, and a drivers license for transportation. I have taken care of all ages whether that’s for family, friends, or at the nursery of the church I attend. I also have been taking care of my great aunt with Parkinson’s for almost a year now. I help take care of her at least once a week. During my time at Helix Charter High School, I have earned my Medical Assistant Certification, which gave me valuable healthcare knowledge and experience working responsibly with others. You can feel confident knowing your children will be cared for by someone who is attentive, dependable, and committed to their safety and well-being. I strive to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow.

Brianna $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated Medical Assistant with over a decade of experience working with children ages 2 to 12, fostering their creativity through art, crafts, singing, dance, and play. I also have experience providing senior care in a hospital setting. I am familiar with ADLs, companionship, and supporting adults' needs. Additionally, I am comfortable with pet care, particularly around large dogs, as long as they are friendly. Outside of work, I enjoy reading and staying active by going to the gym. I find joy in engaging with others and learning about their life stories.
