Emily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Emily and I am currently a part-time freelance tutor for elementary aged children. I am offering child care, senior care, and household cleaning services. I love working in childcare and have previously worked as a summer camp counselor (campers aged 4 to 13) as well as an in-class aide for special needs students and a math and language arts tutor for students aged 6 to 12. I have worked positions requiring school drop-off/pick-up, preparing simple meals for children as well as seniors, engaging children in fun after-school activities and outdoor play, tutoring, housework, running errands, and in-home eldercare--including medication administration, memory care, daily hygiene, and cleaning. I served as my own father's end-of-life caregiver and understand the needs of seniors living out their last years as comfortably as possible in-home. I can engage children's critical thinking and problem-solving skills to improve their academic performance, and I'm good at devising easy, fun games for children to stimulate their creative imaginations. I also have a lifetime of experience caring for cats. I am not as familiar with dog care, but I am happy to learn.

My childcare experience encompasses caring for children of all ages. I am a Teacher's assistant/Para Educator for Sunnyvale School District during the school year (Aug-June),going into my 9th year this fall. I primarily work with Preschool aged children in a Special Day class and Inclusion Classroom settings, with both typically developing children and students with Special needs. I'm married and a mother of a 21 year old, 18 year old and a 14 year old with high functioning Autism and ADD. My two younger children and myself are competitive athletes, so when we are not competing or training, I'm looking for a way to use my free time helping others and earning a little bit of extra money to fund my children's endeavors as well as pay the bills during my summer hiatus as an Educator. Prior to working as an educator, I spent 10 years as a stay at home mother raising my children as well as caring for other infants, toddlers and school aged children throughout my adult life. In my spare time over the past 3 years, I have been studying Early Childhood Education and have obtained 10 ECE units while working towards my AA in PreK Education. Throughout my years working with children I have undergone various trainings including but not limited to: Trauma informed practices/care for children, Personalized Oral Language Learning (POLL), Early learning through Play, Mandated reporter Training, Sexual harassment prevention, Safety Care and CPR/First aid. I'm a very active person and enjoy the outdoors, bike riding, reading, music and exercise. I'm able to run, crawl, climb, jump, dance and be active with kids as needed! I am also fluent in Spanish! I love animals and I have a dog, cat and chickens, so I'm open to helping care for pets as well! I have had my class C drivers license for 20 years (additionally class M for 3 years), full coverage auto insurance and a reliable personal car which accommodates 7 passengers total. A last piece of info about me, is that prior to becoming a mother I worked for Merry Maids and am no stranger to cleaning as well as cooking and running errands. I'm looking forward to meeting your family and working together!

“We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care that Helena provides for our boys! She has been a true blessing, always punctual and ready to dive right in with enthusiasm and warmth. From the moment she walks through the door, our boys light up and eagerly ask if she’ll be back soon—proof of how much they love spending time with her. Not only is she amazing with the kids, keeping them entertained and engaged, but she also goes above and beyond by helping keep the house tidy. Her attention to detail and willingness to help with household tasks make our lives so much easier. She comes twice a week in the afternoons, which has given us much-needed time to enjoy date nights or get meal prep and grocery shopping done. Having her around has been a tremendous help, and we truly appreciate everything she does for our family. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and hardworking nanny. She’s simply the best! 🌟”
