Booked by 1 family in Citrus Heights, CA

Hi! I am currently a first year at Sac State, studying psychology. I am currently a Pre-school and Elementary school substitute which has a very flexible schedule, primarily having more experience with infants/toddlers. I love taking care of babies/toddlers but I also find enjoyment in taking care of kids 3 years and up. Im hoping to find a nanny job to stay long-term! I have past experience with watching over 6th-grade students as a Science Camp Cabin Leader twice. Have recent experience with babysitting 3 different families, 18-month-old girl, 20-month-old girl, and a 9-year-old boy but I am available for more opportunities with other families!

Franchesca Sacramento
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi every one my name is Franchesca, I am a sophomore in college. I grew up by the beach my whole life so I love anything revolving nature and outdoors. I am a very understanding individual when it comes to children, I love teaching my nieces new things such as cooking treats or painting. During the summer I often watch kids with my grandma as she has her own care taking company with age ranges from 2-8. I’m open to care taking for pets as well. If that’s taking them for walks feeding them growing I’m up for the challenge. As well as helping around the house as needed rather that be dishes or picking up laundry for the family I’m always open to discussing any and all help needed. I was in cheer all throughout highschool so I can understand life gets busy and if you need your child to be taken to school or sports related events I am available for taking them to that as well.

Chloe Sacramento
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Chloe, and I am a recent UC Davis graduate who studied Sustainable Agriculture. I currently work as a Youth Garden Educator for elementary school-aged students. I have plenty of experience working with kids aged 4-12 in various settings (in school programs, babysitting, summer camps). I am available during the weekdays (T-F) after 3 pm, all day on Mondays, and on occasional weekends. I have reliable transportation and can help with drop-off, pick-up, or fun day excursions. I also have experience pet sitting (dogs and cats) and can help with those additional responsibilities. I love cooking and baking—food is my love language! I am very passionate about gardening, ecology, and outdoor education. If you feel like I would be a great fit for your family's needs, please do not hesitate to reach out!
