Hi my name is Elexis and I currently attend Sacramento State University online. I have my AA in Psychology and obtaining my BA in Social Work. I have always had a love for youth because I grew up in a big family with lots of younger kids and siblings. I was always the one babysitting, and truly grew a love for it. I really enjoy working with children as I have worked with children since the age of 16. I have worked at multiple after school programs and boys & girls clubs from San Francisco to Sacramento. My career goal is to become a social worker for foster youth or become a preschool/kindergarten teacher one day. I have 5+ years of caregiving for seniors and 10+ years of experience working with youth/kids of all ages. I love working closely with families, building rapport, hanging out with the kiddos and being a helping hand whenever I can. It takes a village to raise a child and I love to be that breath of fresh air for parents. I have a puppy of my own, he is 3 years old. I am not afraid of big dogs. I am willing to walk, dog sit, feed and play with your fur baby no matter their age or size. Thank you for considering me and I look forward to meeting you and your family :) Cancellation Policy : Please let me know if you need to cancel at least 24 hours before scheduled date and time . - If you cancel less than 24 hours: I will expect 50% of what total payment would have been. Due to the fact that I schedule my days around when I have a gig/job.

*** Pease note that currently my availability is limited to only weekend babysitting care.*** Hello, my name is Clara, I have worked with children for the past 12 years. My childcare experience varies in ages from infant, toddler, preschool, and after-school age in a center-based setting. I also have experience with after-school pick-ups and caring for the child in evening hours until parents return home from work, weekend babysitting, and the occasional date nights for parents. Although I do not have kids of my own, I have gained valuable knowledge and experience. Through my education, hands-on experiences, and most of all the children in my care. I have learned from them what helps them grow and learn. During my time working with young children, I enjoyed building healthy interactions and relationships. A few activates I like to engage in during my time with the children are arts & crafts, storytime, talking nature walks, and sensory activities just to name a few. I speak both English and Spanish. I was born and raised in Californian by two loving parents and I am the youngest of four. Currently, I'm working at a center for infants and young toddlers. In the future, my goal is to become an elementary teacher where I can continue to forester the learning of children. The field of early childhood education is my passion. Caring for young children would be is so much more to me than just a job; it would mean a lifetime of experience for my future endeavors. I would love to make a difference in your little one's life. Thank you. :)

Hi! I'm Jocelyn, a bilingual (English & Spanish) caregiver with over 5 years of hands-on babysitting experience I've worked with children from 2 months to 13 years old in a variety of settings, including in-home care, school programs, and nonprofit internship focused on food education for kids. I'm CPR and First Aid certified. I'm energetic, patient, and love connecting with each child on their level - whether that means getting down on the floor , reading the same book three times in a row, or taking stroller strolls to the park. I've cared for over 20 kiddos through Care. com and UrbanSitter and consistently nannied for families with toddlers, infants, and school-aged children. Most of the families I've worked with have had toddlers, so I'm experienced with nap time, meals, and outdoor play. I also enjoy helping older kids with homework and finding fun ways to connect. Working with children brings me joy - I love learning what makes each child unique. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting your family and providing the best care for your children!

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
