Hello Families! Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. My name is Athena. I am a Monterey county resident whose lived here my entire life. I'm a Non-smoking wife and mother of 4. I have 9 siblings, and a total of 28 niece's and nephews all of which I have cared for. I am fully covid vaccinated, including boostered. I am happy to provide proof at your request. Being that I am a full time Mom and also full time employed, I'm currently only looking for occasional jobs ( such as but not limited to: date nights, errand runs, meetings, work events, last minute sitter, weekends, after school care etc). I enjoy meeting new families and absolutely love children. I have over 30 yrs of child care experience! I'm a PTA Mom and I volunteer at my children's school whenever possible. I am comfortable with children of all ages including newborns and Preteens. I will always respect your wishes and will do my best to follow your routine. I enjoy outdoor activities, board games, building blocks/legos/puzzles, play dough, movies and arts & crafts. I consider myself a "go getter". I am very passionate about the time I spend caring for the children I babysit. Hotel Stays, Airbnb's, No problem! I will make the best out of every situation.. (I am also able provide services for group events where multiple sitters are requested as I have several sitter friends if multiple sitters needed). ** I am willing to travel up to 45 miles for an additional fee. ** I am punctual, reliable, easy going, patient, openminded and friendly. -Athena

“Athena was a delight to work with! We were in town for a wedding and needed help watching our kids at our hotel. I was a little nervous about it since it was a small hotel room but Athena was a pro! She quickly connected with my kids and put them at ease. She brought some fun toys and games that engaged the kids and they had a blast. Highly recommend!”

Booked by 89 families in Freedom, CA

Dear Parents, My name is Selena (Yang). I have over 8 years of childcare experience, with more than 8,000 hours working with infants as well as children of different ages up to teenagers. I am fluent in English and Mandarin. I volunteered for half a year in an orphanage in china in 2016, taking care of six disabled infants daily, and also worked as a preschool summer teacher. I once cared for a newborn boy with surgery from 9 days old until he was 5 months, which deepened my love for children and appreciation for life. I am CPR certified for infants and children, responsible, patient, and always on time. I believe babysitting is not only about care, but also about giving love and helping kids grow. I am also comfortable with pets (I’ve raised dogs for more than 10 years) and can assist with light housework if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your family. Thank you for your time.
