A little bit about me

Hi my name is Janine, I’m 25 years old and I live in The Pacific Beach area. I’m a social worker and MSW graduate. I have over 3 years of experience as a residential youth counselor working with kids 5 to 12 years old with behavioral and mental issues. In this position I spent a lot of quality time with the kids playing games, doing fun activities and making crafts. In this position I also did housekeeping duties such as laundry, washing dishes and meal prepping. I don’t have a car so I just wouldn’t be able to drive the kids anywhere.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Briana and I am currently a high school student who is looking for a little cash on the side to help out my family. I don’t have much experience but I love bonding with kids and seeing them grow. I am only 14 years old but am still able to do many things! I can cook, clean, and help kids with homework. I speak two languages, Spanish being my first, and I am willing to learn more if it helps the kids.
