Carly $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Carly! I’m a second-year student at UC Davis, looking for babysitting, pet-sitting, or housework in the area. Most of my experience working with kids so far has been volunteer work in schools (primarily kinder and 2nd-5th grades) and camps (both daytime and overnight, mostly ages 8-14). I’m trained in CPR and first aid. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and occasionally chickens, and I have done some overnight dog/house sitting as well. I’m currently studying Human Development, hoping to become a pediatric occupational therapist and children’s novelist. I dance, juggle, play trumpet and baritone ukulele, cook/bake, garden, and knit. I love books (especially Roald Dahl), and I’m happy to read aloud. I’m patient and studious, and have plenty of experience helping with homework. I love kids of all ages and animals of all kinds, and I am always ready to learn something new.

Amelia $12 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Amelia and I am a third year pre-education student at UC Davis. My dream is to become a TK or Kindergarten teacher after I complete my undergraduate degree. I am offering child care and household services. I love working with children in all contexts. I was an on-call babysitter for a 7 year old and toddler during my junior and senior year of high school. Here, I handled dinnertime, bathtime, and bedtime. Additionally, during my employment at the Ojai Valley Inn, I frequently worked with young children from young toddlers to teenagers, to create arts and crafts, such as candle making, soap making, and painting. I also have experience in my own life, watching over my younger siblings and cousins, ages ranging from 3-7 years old. Additionally, I am a member of the Prytanean Women's Honor Society at UC Davis and have volunteered frequently in partnership with the UC Davis Transfer and Reentry Center to provide activities and entertainment for children (ages ranging 4-10) of UC Davis students, such as painting, playground supervision, and board games. I am also happy to cook and clean as part of my services.

Emma $18 per hour for 1 child

I am an English/Education student at UC Davis, and I LOVE working with young kids! I nanny when I'm home for the summers, but I sincerely miss hanging with little ones during the school year. I have the most experience with ages 1-5, but I have also worked with kids up through middle school. I can prepare educational activities for your kids, or we can just play! I have experience in first and eighth grade classrooms, but most of my childcare experience is domestic. I love pets as well, so I can be relied on for any pet care you may need! I also have a driver's license, if you ever need help with pick ups or drop offs!

Maya $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a 3rd year undergraduate student at UC Davis. I have experience working at a daycare for 4 years. I’ve also provided one-on-one tutoring throughout high school, so I’m comfortable helping with homework and creating a supportive environment. As for pets, I have a cat of my own, so I’m happy to help with pets and their care as well! I would absolutely love to contribute to your home in a meaningful way :)

Gia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Gia and I am an animal science major at UC Davis. I grew up in the Bay Area and throughout my life the things that brought me the most joy have been little kids and animals. I am offering my services for childcare and pet care. I started babysitting in middle school and have babysat on a regular basis for numerous families with kids of all different ages and pets of all different types. I am also a seasoned pet sitter and house-sitter. With these jobs my responsibilities have included playing with the kids, making basic meals, helping with homework and tutoring, driving kids, bathing and putting to sleep, running errands, cleaning, laundry, changing diapers, etc. Additionally, I am a camp counselor at a kids horseback riding and crafts summer camp which has given me lots of experience caring for many kids at once and in an environment with lots of potential hazards.
