Meet college nannies and sitters from University of California Davis

Hi families! My name is Arnelyn and I graduated from UC Davis in 2021 with a major in Psychology and minor in Sociology. I am excited to offer childcare support and household support if needed. I have worked with children for as long as I can remember. I am the eldest of 5 children so I’ve had my fair share in having to babysit and watch my siblings. In addition, I have almost 5 years experience working in Youth Development as a Program Leader and Program Coordinator for an afterschool program. I have had the opportunity to work with school aged children from TK all the way to 5th grade. I currently work in the social services department where I work closely with adults and their children. I can support children with homework, reading, and arts & crafts activities. I am excited to meet your family!

Hello! My name is Katie, I am an undergraduate student at UC Davis originally from Los Angeles. I offer childcare and pet care services! I have worked in childcare for over four years now, primarily at summer and school break camps with children ages 3-14 in a variety of settings making me a highly adaptable caregiver.

My responsibilities have included, driving to and from activities, cooking/cleaning/organizing, crafts, tutoring, bedtime/daily routines, creating engaging activities and overall maintaining a positive environment for the children in my care. As a college athlete and former youth coach, I have extensive experience with sports and outdoor activities, I enjoy keeping children active through fun and engaging activities. I also have experience supporting households with pet care, including both cats and dogs (comfortable with large & small) . I am CPR and First-aid certified .

Hi - My name is Adira and I'm currently a junior at UC Davis. I am majoring in psychology and minoring in education. I am offering child care. I love being a babysitter and helping out with kids extracurriculars. I also worked as a summer camp counselor where I had the opportunity to be the primary care-taker for campers ranging from 3rd to 10th grade. Through our counselor training, I have learned how to refocus attention, play engaging games, and help kids maintain routine. I also have a lot of experience settling in kids having difficulty falling asleep. I also love theater, and have volunteered for many youth shows, so getting to sing and dance with kids is my favorite! I am happy to aid with homework and study! I am also certified in Adult and Pediatric CPR/AED & First Aid.

Hi! My name is Mandy and I am a junior at UC Davis, studying Human Development. I am offering child care for children of all ages. It has been my dream since I was young to eventually work with children and babysitting might be one of the best jobs I've ever taken on! I've only recently began babysitting professionally about a year ago. So far I've only babysat children from the ages of 2 to 10, but really I've been babysitting since I became an aunt when I was 12! I aspire to become an educator. I've recently worked at a preschool for a year and a half, working with children from 18 months to 5 years of age and children with special needs (Autism, ADHD, developmental disabilities, and deaf/hard of hearing). Outside of my experience with babysitting and teaching at a preschool, I have volunteered at an annual summer with children ranging from kindergarten to the 6th grade since I was 12. Since beginning my volunteering at the summer camp, I've worked my way up from being a TA to becoming a main teacher responsible for teaching children arts and crafts!

Hello families! My name is Brenda, I am a current junior at UC Davis studying Human Development and Psychology, and I am hoping to be a teacher in the future. I am offering childcare, senior care, pet care, and household services. I have less than a year of experience babysitting for children, as I have occasionally babysat my niece (less than 2 years old) and my cousins (ranging from 2 to 6 years old). I enjoy pretend play with children, reading books, and I am a huge fan of arts and crafts! Tasks that I can help with include homework help and cooking. I am also available to work as a household assistant. I can cook, clean (would prefer to have the cleaning supplies at the house), do laundry, and many miscellaneous tasks. I have lots of experience with pet care, specifically dogs, as I have my own back home, who is a 5-year-old Poodle mix. I can walk your pet, feed them, and play with them. I do not have experience with cats or other small animals, but I would be happy to also care for them.

My name's Khloe and I'm currently a sophomore student pursing a Bachelor degree in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, majoring in 'Environmental Policy Analysis and Planning' and pursuing a minor in 'Education'. I really enjoy arts and crafts, reading, and going outside on various long walking adventures. I especially love drawing and would love to share this love with other people. I'm an extroverted person and love getting to know new people, making friends is not a difficult challenge for me! If I were to describe myself with 3 words I would use, creative, bubbly, and forward! I have been involved with babysitting care since the age of 8, from being an assistant to older family members who were babysitting to having the responsibility of doing it on my own for either siblings or close family friends. I come from a family with a younger brother and sister so to a degree I have been able to "work" with "children" to the ages of 16. I can show empathy during emotional difficulty, be a middleman between arguments and enforce authority while maintaining a friendly relationship. I am adept in creating nutritious meals (Chinese and American being my primary cuisine), as well as cleaning, administering basic first aid, and leading non-technological play experiences. I also have a base understanding of pet care as my family has owned dogs before. I have also been officially employed as a summer camp counselor for AIW (Adventures in Writing) as a teacher's assistant for the first grade. There, some of my responsibilities included enforcing safe behavior, emotional regulation, monitoring meal times, playing with the children, and making sure everyone was having a good time! Although my primary position was with children between the ages of 5-7, I have also been in charge of the care for children to the ages of 13. Unofficial non-familial experience includes being a youth leader at various summer and after school camps, where I would lead and watch over children primarily in grades 1-3.

Hi, I’m Carly! I’m a second-year student at UC Davis, looking for babysitting, pet-sitting, or housework in the area. Most of my experience working with kids so far has been volunteer work in schools (primarily kinder and 2nd-5th grades) and camps (both daytime and overnight, mostly ages 8-14). I’m trained in CPR and first aid. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and occasionally chickens, and I have done some overnight dog/house sitting as well. I’m currently studying Human Development, hoping to become a pediatric occupational therapist and children’s novelist. I dance, juggle, play trumpet and baritone ukulele, cook/bake, garden, and knit. I love books (especially Roald Dahl), and I’m happy to read aloud. I’m patient and studious, and have plenty of experience helping with homework. I love kids of all ages and animals of all kinds, and I am always ready to learn something new.

I am an English/Education student at UC Davis, and I LOVE working with young kids! I nanny when I'm home for the summers, but I sincerely miss hanging with little ones during the school year. I have the most experience with ages 1-5, but I have also worked with kids up through middle school. I can prepare educational activities for your kids, or we can just play! I have experience in first and eighth grade classrooms, but most of my childcare experience is domestic. I love pets as well, so I can be relied on for any pet care you may need! I also have a driver's license, if you ever need help with pick ups or drop offs!

Hi! My name is Hyewon, and I’m currently studying psychology at UC Davis. I’m passionate about child development and am pursuing a career as an adolescent psychologist, focusing on supporting individuals with developmental disabilities. I have 2 years of experience working with children ages 3–7 as an assistant teacher and 2 years of experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) providing ABA therapy to children with autism aged 4–12. I’m patient, creative, and love engaging children through play, art, reading, and hands-on learning activities. I can also help with homework, light meal prep, cleaning, pet care, and transportation to and from school or activities. I have a cat myself and absolutely love animals!
