A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Zoe and I am looking for a family to help out part-time starting August 2021! I am a second-year at UCSC studying Legal Studies and French.
I am looking to help out once or twice a week, preferably for 'date nights,' or for occasional tutoring, as I will be continuing my work with another family twice a week.
I am available usually Mon/Wed/Fri, but only until classes start on Sep. 23, but can still do date nights.
My experience has been with infants (7 mo-1 y/o) as well as older kids (6 y/o - 12 y/o). I am happy to tutor your kids, play with your kids, run errands, perform household duties, and prepare food. I live in the Seabright neighborhood, provide my own transportation, and have a fairly flexible schedule until classes start in September. I am punctual, enthusiastic, and vaccinated.
I will be ready to start whenever and I am happy to meet socially distanced or on zoom beforehand to get to know each other. I am looking forward to meeting you and your kids!

A little bit about me

I am a full time student at Cabrillo College studying English in hopes to one day become an English professor. I love children and being in a role of guardianship. I have babysat ever since I was 12. I nannied for my neighbor and took care of her two young kids for about 3 years. Eventually I moved to a different city but continued babysitting. I love children and helped raise my younger brother who is now 9 years old. Because we are 10 years apart I was old enough to babysit him when he was a baby all the way up to the age he is currently. So I would say I’m experienced in all ages of children. I have also babysat toddlers and babies separately from my brother and am fully equipped for diaper changing bottle feeding and any other needs of a younger child.
