Samantha Daly City
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Samantha and I am currently a 25 year old nursing student! I'm a caring and dependable sitter who truly loves spending time with kids! With babysitting experience going back to my teen years (plus lots of auntie duties with my nieces and nephews!), I bring tons of enthusiasm, patience, and creativity to every sit and have genuine love for what I do. I'm big on keeping kids engaged with fun activities or adventures, and since I'm a huge Disney fan, I always have something to connect with the little ones over! šŸ° I grew up with pets my whole life, so your furry family members are in great hands too! Whether it's dogs, cats, or both! Beyond childcare, I'm also available for: • šŸ  House sitting • 🐾 Pet sitting • 🧹 Household chores • šŸ›’ Errands And for your peace of mind, I am BLS/CPR certified, so you can feel confident your family is safe and cared for while you're away. I'd love the opportunity to work with your family!

Janna Fremont
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Janna and I just graduated from CSUEB with my BA in Sociology. I have been babysitting in a casual familial setting since I was a tween and am looking to expand my services into a more professional environment. I offer child care to children from 6 months old to tween ages (including twins). I can also provide household services including cleaning, laundry, cooking, & running errands if needed. I have a driver's license and car if children need to be picked up or dropped off from extracurriculars or any appointments. I am happy to curate interactive and creative activities for kids to enjoy such as art, games, and active time. I love caregiving as it is so fulfilling to be a part of a child's journey into the world. I'm excited to hear back from you.
