Hello Parents:) Certified Clinical Medical Assistant. I have tons of experience! 27+ years. I’ve worked in pediatric clinic, licensed daycare, teacher’s assistant, kids dance instructor. I’m a student in the health field, radiology is my goal. I am the 2nd to oldest out of 5 siblings. I started to babysit at a very young age. I flourished when I started to work with kids and it’s showed me to be patient, mature, energetic, engaging and to be tolerant. I’ve been described as very responsible, patient, quick on my feet!, dependable, welcoming & kind. I honestly enjoy and value working with children. Im also a proud community outreach lead in my outreach page on FB which brings community info to kids and their parents. I also help teach dance to help kiddos keep busy and out of the streets. I help guide them in other afterschool programs, activities like art, reading, instruments, paint, language. I give them info to further their education and I even chat with parents if they need any guidance. No child is “too challenging”. Most are just misunderstood and just need a chance to be themselves. I worked for my local Health Department Clinics and Hospital for 22+ yrs. 27+yrs in child care, 10+yrs in a class room setting. Early Childhood Development credits! Fully vaccinated, CPR & First Aid trained👍🏻. I feel very comfortable responding to any medical emergency, medication administration, any disability, any level of health conditions, including behavioral. I have been a Travel Nanny and loved every minute of it. The one-on-one attention gave me a different perspective on how to support parents. I am a firm believer in Montessori Method. I like to be hands on, nature is my buddy, active, arts & crafts, music!, books, baking, help with homework/projects, biking/walking, any educational play is fun. Anything that helps inspire curiosity to discover & learn. I don’t shy away from bathing, forts, feedings, cleaning, mud puddles:), bed time stories, movies and of course a great Snuggle when needed. Parenting styles may diff. so I respect every parents wishes & rules. Parents are trusting me with their most valuable treasure so I strive to be my best. I’ve always enjoyed working with children because they are kind, fun and so intelligent. It takes a special person with special gifts to work with children. I’m one in a few to be blessed & thankful for my gifts. I appreciate your time & consideration. If you have any questions, feel free to message me:)
“She was responsive, immediately dove in with the kids, was friendly and kept us updated. Would totally hire her again!”
I am a responsible and dependable college student at California State University, Monterey Bay, studying psychology with a strong interest in child development and education. I have experience working with children through volunteering and classroom settings, and I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where kids can learn and have fun. Families describe me as patient, caring, organized, and reliable. I am comfortable helping with homework, supervising activities, preparing simple meals, and assisting with light household tasks. In addition to childcare, I have extensive experience caring for animals. I grew up around dogs, cats, chickens, and horses, so I am comfortable with pet sitting, feeding, exercising, and providing attentive care for a variety of pets. I also love to do arts and crafts, sing, dance, watch movies, bake, and learn new hobbies with kiddos!!

Hello my name is Laura. I have been babysitting ever since I was in middle school and through out college (19). I am an only child, so never had siblings to play on my own. I have always treated the children in my care as if they were my own family. My education background is a B.S in child development and a minor in psychology from Cal Poly SLO and a AA degree from MPC in Child Development. Personally I love taking care of children because it is so much making crafts with them and seeing how they see the world in their eyes.
Hi, my name is Shawn. I'm offering child care and light housekeeping, and house assistance, like running errands etc. Also, house sitting. I am able to drive kids to and from school and other places they need to go. I have a valid driver's license and car insurance and a reliable car. I also can cook meals for the family. As far as experience goes, I am a mother of four and was a stay at home mom during the whole time they were growing up. I did child care for awhile then also. I also helped raise my granddaughter. We were the house that all the kids hung out at. I love having kids around. I'm a very fun, upbeat person, and kids really do like me. I'm very dependable and I'm sure you would be happy with bringing me on to work with your family. Thank you
“Shawn was wonderful with my 8-year-old daughter. She was warm, engaging, and kept her happily entertained with games and activities. She also encouraged my daughter to tidy up her toys and organize her closet, which was such a nice bonus. Shawn is kind, dependable, and connects easily with kids. I would happily recommend her to any family looking for a caring and proactive nanny.”
