$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in El Macero, CA

I have two children, 18 and 23 years old. Now that they are grown up and my time is not taken up with homework, soccer, and swimming, I am available for occasional or part-time babysitting. (Full time in summer). As a part-time teacher/stay at home mom for many years, I helped to raise a lot of children in our neighborhood.

“We can’t recommend Wendi highly enough. She is consistently punctual, professional, and incredibly attentive to detail. From the start, she carefully listened as we explained our daughter’s evening routine—including dinner and bedtime—and she followed our instructions exactly. Wendi’s experience as both a teacher and a parent of two clearly shines through in her thoughtful, capable approach to childcare. Our 3.5-year-old daughter bonded with her right away, and it’s clear that she feels safe and comfortable in Wendi’s care. We trust her completely. If you’re looking for a warm, reliable, and highly skilled babysitter, Wendi is the sitter for you!”

Adira $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Adira and I'm currently a junior at UC Davis. I am majoring in psychology and minoring in education. I am offering child care. I love being a babysitter and helping out with kids extracurriculars. I also worked as a summer camp counselor where I had the opportunity to be the primary care-taker for campers ranging from 3rd to 10th grade. Through our counselor training, I have learned how to refocus attention, play engaging games, and help kids maintain routine. I also have a lot of experience settling in kids having difficulty falling asleep. I also love theater, and have volunteered for many youth shows, so getting to sing and dance with kids is my favorite! I am happy to aid with homework and study! I am also certified in Adult and Pediatric CPR/AED & First Aid.

Helen $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a patient, responsible, and caring person who genuinely loves spending time with children. I’m creative and enjoy doing arts and crafts, baking, cooking, and finding fun activities to keep kids engaged. I’m also very attentive and adaptable to each child’s individual personality, needs, and routines. Being a lifeguard and swim instructor taught me to prioritize safety and stay calm in unexpected situations, while my experience babysitting children of different ages, including children with special needs, has made me patient and understanding. I’m also the middle of three girls, so I’ve always enjoyed being around kids and understand the importance of being a supportive and dependable role model.
