Hi, I'm Kendra! I am currently studying Business at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I enjoy the outdoors as well as all creative activities. I have worked as a sleep-away camp counselor for children with Type 1 Diabetes for the last three summers. I have direct experience working with children with autism, ADHD, and various sensory needs. I have formal training in care for children ages 6 months- 17 years. I also am Adult and Infant CPR, AED, and First Aid Certified through the American Red Cross.

I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old and took an 8-hour babysitting course that included CPR training and cooking skills. Since then, I've had vast experience working with children, including: Summer Recreation Leader: At Alameda Recreation and Park Department, I led diverse programs for youth (K-12), designed engaging activities, coordinated various events, and ensured safety during city-wide outings. Art Docent: At Alameda Arts at Maya Lin Elementary School, I created and implemented creative exploration programs, fostering a dynamic environment and providing personalized support to children. Family Childcare Provider: I supervised elementary students, organized engaging activities, offered academic instruction, and maintained a nurturing, safe environment. Elementary and Middle School Tutor: I provided academic support and tailored instruction to help students achieve their educational goals while having fun. I've also taken classes and passed the CSET in preparation for becoming a teacher. I start the Cal Poly MSTEP program this fall!

Hello! My name is Britt. 😊 I grew up in WA state near Seattle and came to CA for college. I have 29 years of experience... Ever since age 13 I’ve babysat for several families at a time and also loved it! I think the best part of it all is getting to see these tiny beings change and grow, seeing their personalities come to light. Many might see babysitting as just a necessity for parents to be able to go out and have adult time, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a chance to have fun, to engage a child’s sense of wonder and their sense of self. I like to do activities with them and be outdoors when possible. I’m very respectful of parents’ preferences and like to follow their same rules set for their kids. I know that being a parent can sometimes be challenging... I can be there to help give you a much needed break or to help make daily life a little easier for you. While I have not been blessed to be a mother yet myself, I’ve learned a wide variety of things from each of the families I’ve had the pleasure to know and love. I have experience with autistic, Down syndrome, as well as behaviorally challenged individuals. I can help with homework, house work, transportation, and errands. I also am available for overnights, weekend stays (or longer if needed) and assistance on family vacations. Any other questions feel free to ask! ☺️

I am a registered nurse who has worked in a hospital on a psychiatric unit for the last 20 years. I started on a child/adolescent unit and moved to working with adults when our unit closed. I recently was able to drop my hours to part time and I am looking to find jobs that are less stressful, have better hours and are mostly enjoyable. I am looking to use my skills to continue to care for others in a more relaxed and positive environment. I enjoy the energy and innocence of children and animals and feel they need a structured environment that is also fun and most importantly safe and positive environment. I am current on my CPR certification and RN license. I have copies of PA Child Welfare and PA State Police clearances that are needed for working at the hospital. I would be willing to get any other clearances you require if I were to be hired.

I love being a caregiver to children, although this is the first time I am switching careers for it! I am able to play outside, get creative for playtime and problem solving, and I have boundless patience for homework help. I believe in treating children with kindness, even while disciplining them or declining their requests. I am happy to do additional tasks to help out the home, such as grocery shopping, housekeeping chores, and other errands! I hope to find a family that is a good fit for my skills :)

Hello! I am a mom of 3- two adults and one 12 year old. I have also been a foster parent for 8 years. I gave extensive experience with a variety of ages, stages and needs. Im at the “cool grandma that still has tons of energy” stage of life. I would love to help you out if I am available.

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to meet you and your kiddos. I’m just graduated from Cal Poly SLO with a degree in Child Development and a Biology Minor. I was a head teacher at Little Sprouts Infant and Toddler Care in California. I also worked as a sports camp coach for ages 6-14. I’ve babysat children as young as 4 weeks old and up to 12 years old. I am an occupational therapy student at Columbia University with dreams of becoming a pediatric OT. I love kiddos and I am passionate about helping them grow, learn, and develop into their happiest selves!!!

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m a caring, dependable, and experienced nanny with 7 years of professional experience caring for both boys and girls, from newborns to age 12. I’ve worked with many families on the Central Coast, often providing care for multiple children at once, including infants and school-aged children. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where kids can grow, learn, and have fun. I love engaging children through reading, arts & crafts, outdoor play, and educational games. I’m also comfortable with meal prep, homework help, light housekeeping, and potty training. I have a valid California driver’s license with a clean driving record, so I can safely handle school pickups, drop-offs, and errands. I also stay in close communication with parents to ensure we’re always on the same page. I look forward to meeting your family and helping your children thrive!

I am 25 and have grown up with child care experience. I am the oldest of seven children, the youngest of whom is a four-year old boy. Growing up, I took care of my siblings while my mom worked jobs to support us. I highly respect a busy working mother. My siblings were of all ages and I learned skills of adaptability, patience, good judgement, and self-motivation. I helped take care of the house and entertained my siblings when we weren’t in school. I was highly motivated in high school and I also played tennis! I graduated from CSU-Monterey Bay in California with a B.A. in Environmental Studies with a concentration in Education. I am very passionate about getting myself and young people outside and interested in science and the natural sciences particularly. I learned how to teach students using experience-based learning and open-ended questions. While in undergraduate school and after graduation I taught in a before (6-10am) and after school program (2-7pm) for children of people who work in agriculture for four years. I worked alone with ~10 kids with a range of ages 5-12 in a class. I had to use strong problem skills, creative quick thinking, and self-management to support their success academically, emotionally, and socially. My style is balancing age appropriate conversation and treating them as adults/their own individual person. I believe in inspiring self-responsibility and motivation through incentives and having a positive relationship with the child while also communicating strengths or needs for support with the parent(s). I created daily activities myself or asked the kids to choose a range of activities (puzzles, coloring, computer school games, homework help, crafts, card games), encouraged outside activities (basketball, versions of tag, laying in the grass listening to music) and participated in general conversation with kids of all ages. Pre-COVID19 I brought them to outdoor field trips and nature walks. During the pandemic my main goal was to keep them emotionally regulated and as motivated in school as possible. Other skills that are worth noting for supporting child success is I am bilingual in Spanish and English. I was CPR certified but will need to renew it as it expired this year. I also have a clean driving record but I have moved from California and will need to get a New York Driving License. Thank you, Jasmin Gonzalez

Hello! I'm Shay, I just moved to San Luis Obispo after living in Oregon for the last year and a half. I recently finished EMT training and am in the job search and application process to work in town. I used to babysit pretty consistently during high school and then watched people's dogs and cats fairly frequently during college. I also used to volunteer at a local retirement home so have some experience assisting elders. I hope my emergency medicine training will help you feel at ease while caring for your loved ones. I am open to caring for pets, children, and seniors. :)
