A little bit about me
Hi families! My name is Jozette and I am a 21 year old female looking for 2-4 days of helping out a family with their children and other responsibilities needed. I am an online student at Grand Canyon University majoring in Early Childhood Education in hopes of becoming a Child Life Specialist. I have always loved being around kids and making them feel safe and wanted while also having fun with them. I have 5+ years of experience, with my most professional ones being an after school teacher at an elementary school or being a daycare counselor at a resort (as well as nanny gigs over the years). I would love to care for your children if suitable! I hope to hear all about you soon :)

A little bit about me
Reliable, friendly, patient marketing professional and mother of a 21-year-old college student. Looking for occasional care jobs while searching for a flexible corporate job. As a mom of a child who went to Montessori, public school, and University (opera), I chaperoned choir trips to Europe, music lessons, and kids' theater. I have a BA in Literature from UC Irvine, lived in Germany for a year, and speak some German and French. For 25 years, I've managed sales, marketing, events, and websites related to music, education, tech, and retail for corporate and family businesses, so I’m a good multitasker and calm under pressure. I was a sitter in my teens, including autistic children. I've had cats, dogs, and fish. Happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, chaperoning zoom lessons, transportation, and shopping (I am a Costco member). My SUV seats 7 (or 5 with groceries and a stroller). Passed Red Cross Adult, Child, and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED.

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Rafaella! I just graduated from UCSC with a degree in Ecology and Evolution and a minor in dance!
I am offering child care and household services. I have the most experience with children ages 6-11 but love working with kids of all ages. I can cook, clean, run errands (have a drivers license but no car), and am happy to work with pets
I have worked as a resident summer camp counselor for children ages 4-17 for the past 3 summers after being a counselor in training and camper myself for many years. Additionally, when I was in high school I worked as a gymnastics coach for children and volunteered as an after school tutor for elementary kids and helped out at the local children's museum. This has all taught me a lot about caring for kids and has helped me work on time management, conflict resolution, adaptability, patience, and creativity.
