Meet college nannies and sitters from University of California Merced

Hello Families ! My name is Salma, 27 years old and currently work as a credentialed School Psychologist. In my free time, I open my availability to new or returning families for sittings in the evening time (preferably on the weekend or Fridays). A little about me and my experience working with children and families. Simply put— it has always been something I was naturally good at and truly enjoyed doing! I have an extensive background experience working with kids of all ages (infants-high school) and I aim to integrate these experiences to explore what works best for everyone I work with. Spending time, caring for and being a role model for children is truly one of the biggest and most important jobs anyone can take on! Overall, it has taught me how to be patient, loving, fun and an out-going individual. Thank you for your consideration!

Hello Families, I moved to Houston almost 2 years ago. Before moving, I graduated from UC Merced (in California) with a degree in Public Health and a minor in Community Research and Service Minor. Previously, I worked part-time teaching swimming to kids 4 days a week. Then on my own, I taught private swim lessons for 2 years. I have been responsible for caring for children ages from 5 months to 12 years. While having lots of fun and laughs, I make sure to keep your child's safety a priority. I have also prepared and served meals with instruction. Thank you so much for considering me and taking the time to read through my profile. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you and your family!

Hi, my name is Melissa! I’m a caring and responsible person with experience working with both children and pets. I enjoy building positive connections, whether it’s supporting kids with schoolwork, engaging them in fun activities, or making sure pets get the exercise and attention they need. I’ve mentored students and worked with children of different ages, helping with homework, planning activities, and encouraging their growth. I’m also a dog owner myself, so I understand the importance of regular walks, playtime, and keeping pets safe and happy. I’m comfortable with kids of all ages as well as pets of different sizes and breeds, and I always bring patience, energy, and reliability to the families I work with.

Hello! I'm Cassandra, a dedicated and caring babysitter with over 6 years of experience working with children of all ages from infants to young teens. I have extensive experience caring for infants and toddlers, ensuring they are safe, happy, and well-attended to. I’ve had the pleasure of working with both individual children and groups, creating safe, engaging, and fun environments whether it’s one-on-one care or managing multiple children at once. Additionally, I have a background in working with children with special needs, offering compassionate support tailored to each child’s individual needs. A significant portion of my experience comes from working with families involved in Al-Anon, a support group for those impacted by someone else's alcohol use. This has given me a deeper understanding of the unique dynamics and challenges these families face, allowing me to provide empathetic and supportive care with a focus on their emotional and practical needs. In addition to my babysitting experience, I’ve volunteered with the Best Day Foundation, teaching children how to surf and helping them learn to boogie board. This experience has further developed my ability to care for kids with disabilities in a meaningful way while encouraging their new skills and confidence. I take pride in creating a nurturing, fun, and educational environment while giving parents peace of mind. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, or providing the extra care some children need, I’m here to make sure your little ones are well cared for. I look forward to meeting your family and helping make your life a little easier!

Hello! - My name is Andrea and I am 22 years old. I am currently a student at Southwest Los Angeles college studying political science and minoring in English. I currently work at an Elementary school as an after school dance coach! I was a family babysitter for nearly 3 years until the family moved out of Los Angeles. I loved working as a babysitter! Growing up with a big family has made me very family orientated and because of that my love for working with children grew. I have been working at an Elementary school for about three years now. I have experience with childcare within the ages of 3-11yr olds. I watched over a classroom with over 20 students for the past three years. I love education and seeing kids grow for success ! My responsibilities as a babysitter included cleaning the house, cooking for the kids, playing with children, helping with homework, and helping the family overall with tasks. I am a team player and love learning new techniques everyday. I will be studying Political Science and minoring in Child Education to pursue my career in teaching. For any questions please feel free to reach out.

Hello! My name is Nissy and I'm a young, energetic, compassionate, and patient 25yr old. I have a B.A. in Psychology and am fluent in both English and Spanish. I'm currently offering services in childcare. I've been babysitting since I was 16yrs old. I have about 5yrs of experience working at daycares (ages 4 months to 10yrs). I have about a year of experience working with kids who have special needs. I also volunteered as an after-school homework helper/tutor for elementary kids. My responsibilities have included meal prepping, feeding, diaper changing, potty training, cleaning, arts and crafts, culinary arts, supervising play as well as engaging in play, and homework help. I take my time to really get to know a child. I like to truly understand any cues they might be throwing my way in order to ensure they feel safe and loved. I love being goofy with kids and engaging with them. Their happiness and safety is always my number one priority. I'm happy to work with families with dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, etc.
