Hello, I'm Blanca. With 25 years of experience in preschool and public school settings, I'm excited to join this app. My background includes working with infants to 12-year-old children. I've earned a Bachelor's degree in Child Development and am currently working towards my Master's degree in Child and Adolescent Development at Sacramento State. I also provide pet-sitting services and sensory play activities, such as creating Play-Doh and slime. Ensuring the safety of your pets and children is my utmost priority. Best regards, Blanca.

Blanca was great! She sent me photos to keep me updated, and deleted them on her end. She made the kids dinner, got them showered and kept them on schedule during a busy work night. Blanca was very professional and easy to communicate with. She’s also very friendly and flexible. I highly recommend her!

I've been my family and friend's go-to when they need someone to take care of their kids and I'm ready to do the same for you! I'm prior military and pursuing school so looking to supplement my income with babysitting/nanny duties. I love kids, and they love me too. I was the neighborhood's big brother growing up, and I enjoy taking care of them. Even out in public, I tend to make babies smile and chat with kids.

Booked by 1 family in Davis, CA

Hello, I graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 2018, and recently received my masters. I am employed full time at a nonprofit organization, and looking for opportunities on the weekends and evenings. I have over 7 years of experience working with children 4-16yrs. My first experience was taking care of my younger cousins, and then professionally working at a school. I supported English-language learners achieve their reading goals. I also was an afterschool program facilitator working with kids 5-10, so I have tried every arts and craft project. I have classroom experience supporting Kindergartners with their dual immersion education & supporting them with their playground activities. I love education and enjoy supporting the development of young minds. I am bilingual and happy to assist with homework, household activities, and chores! I have always enjoyed babysitting and working with kids, which is why I have decided to join UrbanSitter.

Ashley is very friendly, reliable, and considerate of our household rules and preferences. Gets along great with our kid. As an added bonus, her Spanish skills have really helped our child's Spanish learning.
