Based in Sac 📍 Travel often to the Bay Area Hello there my name is Alia! I am a 29 year old communications professional. My hobbies include reading, writing, practicing my Spanish, bike riding, soccer, arts and crafts, and finding new movies to watch! I have over 4 years experience of sitting ranging from 6 months- to age 17. I have no problem coming to you. My favorite part about babysitting is getting to spend time and have fun with the amazing children. I believe every child is unique and different and it’s so fun getting to know all of them and thinking of new activities. I develop close friendships with parents and children so that we become in a way one big family. I strongly prefer cash, Zelle or Venmo. I do charge for the entire time booked, even if you arrive home earlier than the agreed end time. LATE POLICY: If you think you are going to be late or would like to stay out later, please send me a text or phone call an hour beforehand. If not notified, an overtime charge will be applied to double the time you are late. CANCELLATION POLICY: No fee for cancellation up to 48 hours notice. Under 48 hours notice will be charged a 50% cancellation fee. Under 24 hour notice will be charged full fee.

She was great! She was great with 2 kids, and she was so helpful around the house. We’re looking forward to more opportunities to have her support us.

Hey! I’m Heaven and I’m currently a substitute teacher and graduated at Sacramento State University majoring in child development. I have completed over 40 units for child development and early childhood education- one class where I was a teachers assistant in a wonderful first grade classroom. I have experience being a teacher in 2 pre schools and now do sub/before/after school care across districts and grades (k-8) I have always loved caring for children and I have two younger, step brothers who have greatly influenced my career choice. I have taken care of children ages 6 weeks to 15 years old. I love animals so having a pet, or even many, is a bonus to me! * I am CPR certified * - proof of certification available upon request- - I have a license / reliable transportation

Heaven was kind, communicative, confident. She left the house tidier than she found it, which was not expected but much appreciated! She even left some beautiful drawings for us.

Hello parents! My name is Angelina. I have had volunteer work with elementary age children since I myself was in elementary school. I have known I wanted to be a Teacher since I was young! I love working with kids. Their honesty and how they always want to have fun in many spontaneous ways are aspects I learn from every time I am working with them. For each child, I strive to discover their interests and passions and create activities based on them they would enjoy! I have 4 Associates Degrees from CRC! Due to my 4 degrees, I have had more than 40 units relating to children including many ECE course units. I have volunteered in a first grade classroom at me old elementary school since I was in 5th grade. I have immense experience with elementary school children since I have had many experiences at various schools in the Sacramento/Elk Grove region. I was a yard duty and an after school teacher at my old elementary school as well for almost a year and a paraeducator at various elementary schools. Overall working with children has been my passion since I was a young child myself. Recently I have expanded my passion for working with children and teaching to include middle and high school students as well. I have felt a passion growing these past few years for working with this age group! However I still enjoy the working with the younger elementary kids! :) for the past years, I have taught seventh graders at my church (Sunday School). I graduated CSUS this past spring with a major in Liberal Studies and a minor in History. My goal is to be a middle/high school History teacher! I am currently in the CSUS Single Subject Teaching Credential Program until May 2019. Overall, it would be a joy to work with you to provide superb babysitting experience for your children. Thank you for reading all about my background and I look forward to hearing from you! :) *Note: I am flexible with pricing! :)
