Look into Palo Alto sports and recreation, the YMCA, maybe Big Brothers and Sisters. Maybe a summer nanny that likes sports and the arts like me. I am a nanny for 2 kids: 11 and 7 year old girls. We play frizzbe, soccer, tag, and act out princess Disney movies . I fix them a snack and we do coloring and painting . They also like watching a movie once in a while with some popcorn balls and home made lemon-aid. Some times you can get a good deal for a college student like me. 9am -3pm I work for $7 an hour. But be careful and do your back ground checks. I am lucky, my mom's co-worker needed some one and they have known each other for years. I love kids and animals and it helps me financially and academically,because I am studying for psychology. Good luck, check Criag's list or nanny web pages. You never know.
