Hi, my name is Jennifer. Are you still searching for a caregiver ? I have availability and would love to help! Im a postpartum doula, and prior to becoming a doula, I was a nanny for over 10 years. I have many years of experience working with children. I have worked with newborns, toddlers, and school-aged kiddos as well as multiples.I am responsible, reliable, punctual, and bilingual(Spanish). I have taken child development courses that help me to better understand children and facilitate their personal journey through life by recognizing each child's individual needs and helping them reach their developmental milestones. I strongly believe in building and nurturing warm and strong relationships through play in the early years. Please let me know if you have any questions and if I sound like someone you would be interested in meeting.I look forward to hearing from you

I am A'kila [Uhh-kee-luhh]. What I love most about caregiving is having the opportunity to engage with a warm and loving family. My style of caregiving comes from a place of authenticity. Especially in regards to clients that are disabled. After caring for severely Autistic non verbal clients, I am privy to basic ABA therapy strategies and concepts. As well as navigating AAC devices. Since 2017, I have been caring for children of all ages, races and abilities from the ages of 3 months to 13 years young. Within that time, I have met hundreds of families from all walks of life. If you are hiring based on my experience, please look at my reviews for further insight. If you would like to set up an interview, I request we exchange references, so I too gain more insight as to your family dynamic with other sitters, which will give me an idea if we are a good match. What do I expect from you as a parent? Respect and open communication. It is my goal to work with, not for, a family. I give and put my time and effort into caregiving professionally. It is imperative, from the very start of our correspondence that we maintain a level of transparency , honesty and respect in an effort for us all to ultimately find a good match and waste as little of our time as possible in the process. Thank You, A'kila

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.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
