Some examples of experience: Babies: I used to read, go outside for walks, teaching to walk and speak first words, singing songs, dancing to the music, playing with toys, feeding and bathing, bedtime routine.

I was responsible for getting the kids ready to school, feeding, driving to activities, playing educational games, arts and crafts, giving them a bath, cooking for them, doing their laundry and housework related to them. I had a great bond with all kids. I have master degree in arts and I’m happy to do art activities with children. I’m also active and love hiking, I often play with kids outside, in the park.

Not currently accepting new families. I Hi my name is Seraphina and I'm a student at Merritt College. I'm currently working as a server and studying to become to a paralegal. I've been babysitting children since I was 14, when I started watching over family friends' children. When I was 15 I started working at Strawberry Canyon Explorer Camp where I worked for 8 years teaching children ages 4-10. At camp I worked with kids one on one as well as in large groups. I've also spent years volunteering in local elementary schools. I love teaching and hope to be an elementary school teacher in a few years. I've primarily worked with kids ages 4-7 but have experience with older as well. I love bringing them outside and teaching them sports, as well as helping them with that tough math problem. In my free time I read a lot, especially comics, and dream about playing lacrosse again. Please note that I have no experience with children younger than 3. Thanks for looking at my profile, I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi, my name is Janneth I am easy going, intuitive, and responsible. I am also a mom to a smart and curious 10 year old. I have a lot of experience working with newborns, toddlers, and teenagers. In my day to day life I wear many hats mom, wife, manager, big sister, and care taker to many students. I work in higher ed and have been working specifically in student services for the past 5 years. I have experience working with students from diverse racial and socio-economic backgrounds. Before that, I spent 2 years teaching English to children aged 5-10. I started babysitting at a young age for my family and neighbors and have been taking care of children ever since. After having my son, I took a break from work to focus on his care, but now that he is older and more independent, I am able to return to babysitting and work with other families.

I grew up in a large family as the second oldest of five siblings, where I took on a caregiving role from a young age. With workaholic parents, I helped raise my younger siblings, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand children’s needs. In high school and after graduating, I also worked part-time babysitting my neighbors’ children, further strengthening my ability to connect with kids and provide a safe, nurturing environment. Since moving to the U.S., I have continued working as a part-time babysitter and have developed strong childcare experience.

Hello! My name is Kyla. I’m a stay‑at‑home mom to two amazing little ones — a 2½‑year‑old boy and a 4‑month‑old. Because I care for them daily, I understand the rhythms, joys, and special care that infants and toddlers need. My son loves to read and definitely would love someone to play with! **Where & What I Offer** I babysit in my home, a spacious two‑story house with 2 bedrooms and a large living room. There’s ample room for play, rest, and a peaceful atmosphere. * I live in a nice, quiet neighborhood, which helps create a calm and safe environment for children. My experience with Different Age Groups* * Infants (0‑1 year): feeding, diaper changes, nap routines, comforting, responsive care. * Toddlers (1‑3 years): high energy, lots of hands‑on interaction, learning through play, helping develop new skills (walking, talking, basic potty training if parents request, etc.). * Young preschool age if needed: guided play, early learning skills like colors, shapes, storytelling. --- **Activities I Enjoy Doing with Children** * Story time, singing, simple crafts, imaginative play * Outdoor time when weather permits: going for walks, playing on my patio or nearby park * Learning through play: puzzles, building blocks, introducing colors, shapes, counting * Quiet time/routine time: naps, snack time, reading, soothing --- **Special Skills & Talents** * Home-cooked, kid‑friendly meals/snacks, (please let me know if you have any specific requests) * I can help with basic early learning: letters, numbers, language development * Creative activities: painting, drawing, crafts, music * If needed, homework help for older children **Rates & Policies** * My rate is **\$25 per hour per child**. * I believe in transparency and clarity — if there are additional tasks you’d like (special meals, tutoring, extra transportation, etc.), we can discuss those up front I believe children thrive when they feel safe, heard, and supported.

Hey families! I’m Rachel, originally from Germany, and I’ve been living in the US since 2023. Watching kids grow, learn and explore the world around them brings me so much joy and I take pride in contributing to their development in a meaningful way. With my previous experience as a babysitter, I’ve been entrusted with caring for children of various ages, helping with everything from daily routines to educational activities and outings. My hands-on experience has equipped me with the skills to handle different situations, ensuring both safety and fun for the children in my care. I’m well-organized, attentive, and nurturing, with a strong sense of responsibility. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping, meal prep, and helping with homework. My fluency in both English and German also allows me to introduce a bit of language learning to curious little ones! I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and support you. Please feel free to reach out—I’m excited to meet you and your little ones!

I am currently studying child and adolescent development and I have over 3 years of experience working with children professionally. My favorite thing about working with kids is the mutual learning that occurs! I love to find ways to connect through activities based on a child’s interest, whether it be baking, arts and crafts, enjoying nature or physical activity, i love to be involved! I think kids deserve to be heard, and to make decisions for themselves with guided options to choose from. I think freedom of expression and identity is incredibly essential to a young child or adolescence development and I am a number one fan of children taking the lead, and showing us how to show up better to suit their needs and talents as well! Important things to note: -I am allergic to pets, both cats and dogs so cannot work inside of homes with animals -I do not have a car but I have a drivers license and a sparkling clean driving record, and still drive often! -I am CPR and first aid certified -I am a full time student studying sociology and child and adolescent development and completing a social work and human services certification
