Gwen $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Gwen, and I'm genuinely passionate about working with children. As an early childhood education professional, I absolutely love creating fun, safe, and nurturing spaces where kids can truly thrive. My experience as a TK/Kinder classroom leader and an assistant teacher at a preschool has given me hands-on skills in engaging young learners and supporting their growth. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your little ones are in capable hands. I'm also currently studying Early Childhood Studies at Sonoma State University, which means I'm always learning new ways to support children's development and make our time together enriching and engaging. I'm excited for the opportunity to build positive relationships with both your children and your family!

Booked by 14 families in American Canyon, CA

Hi! My name is Megan, and I am currently looking for occasional/ part time babysitting or petsitting jobs while I take some gap years before graduate school. I've been babysitting for about 10 years now, but as the oldest sister I've been helping out with my siblings since I was young. I graduated from UCLA in 2023 with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Anthropology. I enjoy learning about health and medicine in the contexts of development and society. Some of my hobbies include drawing, yoga, and eating good food :) I’ve worked with children of different ages, ranging from babies to teenagers, though I have the most experience with babies and kids ages 2 - 5. I find caregiving to be a fun and rewarding job. While kids learn a lot from us, I find that we learn a lot from them as well. I value patience and respect, and these are qualities I show to the kids I work with. I look forward to working with you!
