Hello families! Working with children has always been a super rewarding experience for me, which is why I am entering my third summer as a residential camp counselor, where I work with kids ages 7-17. I have a clean driving record, and am CPR and first aid certified. I love doing anything outdoors (especially in this California weather!), reading, watching movies, and playing games. I have always been described as being very responsible, patient, organized, and helpful. I am more than happy to help with date nights, after school care, and anything else I can fit around my class schedule. Looking forward to meeting you!!

Hi! My name is Bailey and I am a sophomore at Cal Poly. Cal Poly was my top choice school and it still feels like a dream to get to wake up here each day. I continue to discover new amazing things about the SLO community and my love grows more and more for this beautiful city I get to call home. My hometown is Ventura/Ojai and I feel extra fortunate to be close to my family while away at college!I have experience working in a Montessori childcare with toddler and preschool aged children, as well as a summer camp with elementary school children. I love the opportunity to be creative- whether we are making art, inventing imaginative games inside, exploring backyards or parks and everything in between! There is nothing better than a child’s imagination being able to run free in my opinion. In my free time I am usually reading, hiking, doing yoga/pilates, or anything that lets me be outdoors. I love all animals (especially dogs!) but truly all animals- big and small. I am looking forward to connecting with a few families either for consistent childcare needs or on an as needed basis. I love being a part of child’s world to celebrate their victories and share their curiosities is truly a gift πŸ’—

Hi! I’m a recent college graduate and a retired college athlete with years of hands-on childcare experience. Throughout college, I regularly babysat for families with children of all ages, balancing responsibility, fun, and safety. As the oldest of four siblings, caring for kids has always been a natural part of my life, from helping with homework to keeping everyone entertained and on schedule. I genuinely love working with children and creating a positive, supportive environment where they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Parents can trust that their kids are in reliable, energetic, and patient hands with me!

In the last fiveyears I have been diving into doula work and have had the privilege of learning from some of the most amazing seasoned doulas and midwives. Outside of working with families I am an environmental science student and spend time volunteering with local conservation based organizations. I was born and raised here and have worked with families from almost every Bay Area town but primarily concentrated between SF and the East Bay.
