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

Hi! My name is Hayley, and I bring a strong background in child development and education to every babysitting job I take on. I’ve worked as a teacher in both public and private school settings, teaching children from transitional kindergarten (TK) through 6th grade. With years of hands-on experience in the classroom, I’m skilled at creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for children. I’m comfortable managing multiple children, helping with homework, creating fun and educational activities, and supporting routines like bedtime, meals, and transitions. My teaching background means I understand how to support a child’s emotional, social, and academic growth—and I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs.Whether you need a regular sitter or occasional help, I’d love the opportunity to support your family with professional, caring, and thoughtful childcare.

Hello! My name is Claire and I am an incoming senior at Cal Poly Slo, majoring in psychology with a minor in child development. In the future, I plan to pursue a PhD in Child Neuropsychology. Working with children is my greatest passion. I love to connect with children and help them thrive.

I have been working with children for the past 6 years. Most recently, I was a preschool teacher from 2022-2025. During that time, I worked with various age groups and earned my Child Development Associate Accreditation. Additionally,, I taught computer coding for elementary aged students for 2 years and was a nanny for a family with an 8 year old girl. Teaching in schools helped me develop with my skills in early education. I love to have fun and make kids feel comfortable with approaching new skills and situations. My passion is helping kids grow their interests and explore the world around them in a way that is interesting and fun for each individual kid, whether that’s as a nanny, babysitter, or in the classroom.

My name is Sofia Alvarez and I have experience being a sitter for over 2 years. I am entering Cal Poly SLO as a junior majoring in Journalism. I am familiar and excellent at meal prepping, driving to and from destinations, cleaning, tutoring, engaging in activities, and managing sleeping schedules. I have experience in both for my own family but as well as other families in my community that I have helped sit for. I love being a sitter because I feel like I play a vital role in not only the kids life, but also for the parents. I know first hand how hard it can be to take care of your own while juggling work and a plethora of factors. So in being able to provide that small relief of helping out to both the parents and the kids, make it known that I am doing my job right. I am all about having fun and always giving kids opportunities to learn and grow!

love being a sitter because caring for children and watching them grow brings me so much joy. I have experience with kids of different ages and am comfortable helping with daily routines like meals, homework, bedtime, and playtime. Families can count on me to be dependable, patient, and caring, and I enjoy keeping kids engaged through fun activities that spark their creativity and learning. I’m confident in creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment where children feel happy and cared for.
