About Elinor
Experience: 17 yrs
Hi! love to connect with your family! I moved to Oakland two years ago and currently teach 7th grade. As the eldest of four kids, taking care of children has always been second nature to me. While I love teaching during the school day, babysitting outside of school hours allows me to keep working with kids of all ages while helping me make ends meet. I'm open to all types of jobs. During the school year, I'm mostly available for afterschool care and weekends, as well as during school breaks and holidays. I am also available for house sitting and pet sitting, I am fully open to traveling with families and doing overnight stay care as well. Beyond child care, I have a lot of experience with and genuinely love organizing. I'm always happy to jump in and help out with household chores. I hold a Secondary Education License and CPR & First Aid Certs Grinnell College. Being a teacher - I am always happy to provide tutoring or homework help if your child needs extra support!
Most recent review
Elinor is an ideal caregiver to children. She is highly empathetic while maintaining boundaries kids need to get through meals and bed on time. She will also spend time reading with my daughter while she is watching the kids so it’s a tutor session and childcare in one! She’s always my first call when I need care.
