I am an older, responsible, fun and loving mom of 6 adults and 9 grandchildren. My husband and I as self employed. As I'm getting older, I'm wanting to use my time the very best I can, this includes caring for kids because it offers a flexible schedule. My kids now live all over the World, which I love! I get to visit often as well as have them visit for holidays and the summer. We love taking our kids/grandkids on family trips to Disney Land, Lake Shasta for camping, fishing, the ocean for crabbing or a beach day. We love aquariums, museums, and playing games. I have lots of experience with infants, boys and girls as I had 3 of each including care taking of elderly family, parents etc. We live on a small piece of property just outside woodland. In my spare time I love to garden, entertain my chickens, give sourdough a go, raise an occasional pig as well as walk with my 2 dogs. I have a minitaure schnauzer EmmyLou and a mini bernadoodle Archie. I'm looking to give back to the community and filling a need so many have. I look forward to meeting wonderful families and providing a loving and caring environment for your infants and children.

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 am 20 years old, I have worked with elementary school kids in helping with math! When I was younger I would help my mother with the little ones, feeding and changing them. I love going on walks, going to the park with little ones, and doing crafts. I am also bilingual and speak Spanish. I also have a car for transportation with a clean record!

Iam a responsible and caring babysitter who has a background in performing arts, meaning I have a strong knack for creativity as well as lots of patience for activities. It is quite easy for me to engage with kids in terms of storytelling or imaginative play. I would have course prioritize the safety of the kids, but ensure that we are still expressing ourselves in a creative manner. I have been babysitting for 5 years, and I have babysat anywhere from infant children, to children in elementary school. I have been teaching and helping children with homework since then as well. I enjoyed babysitting because eventually when I have a more professional job, I want to be a child psychologist as I love working with children and providing whatever support I can.
