Daysi $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I taught previously and have experience with kids in middle school as well as high school. I have experience private tutoring in subjects such as history, political science, science, and writing. I have a degree in political science as well as art concentrating in Ceramics so I love to show kids to play with clay and express their creativity through forms that are a blast to play with. I also grew up with pets and I have lots of experience training medium sized breeds and taking care of dogs and cats. I also love cooking, I grew up in a big Mexican family so I love cooking with flavor and involving the kids in baking or making fun foods like tamales.

Shannon $25 per hour for 1 child

I’d love to help out your family as an after-school nanny or your go-to date night babysitter! I've been babysitting for as long as I can remember and have all younger cousins so am used to being around little kids. I enjoy being around kids and doing fun activities with them. I was also a lifeguard and taught swim lessons from age 14-22. Feel free to reach out if you think it’d be a good fit!

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!
