Jojo $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jojo. I’m an 18-year-old high school graduate offering reliable child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been taking care of my younger sister and little cousins for many years, so I’m comfortable caring for children and keeping them safe, entertained, and engaged. While I’m new to being an official babysitter, I’m very excited to get started! I love spending time with kids, doing crafts, playing games, and coming up with fun activities. I’m also happy to help with other household needs. I can prepare simple meals, help with cleaning and organizing, care for pets, and assist with errands or appointments when transportation is appropriate. I’m responsible, caring, dependable, and willing to help wherever I can. I’d love the opportunity to make your day a little easier while providing your family with quality care!

Carmen $25 per hour for 1 child

I used to work as a certified parent educator/Facilitator for about 5 years. I work with Sacramento First Five and I raised 2 kids that speak 3 languages and excel in life. I firmly believed kids are here ro teach us and we must learn from them before we can intent teaching them. Each child is born with unique abilities and characteristics and personality traits that provide us all the information we need to help a child reach their full potential. To guide/coach a child you must know him/her first. I have experience house sitting mid size homes and large estates short and long term. I believe it’s essential for families to have peace of mind that their home will be running fine when they are away. I take care of contacting maintenance personnel if needed, manage house cleaning staff, take care of dry cleaners, make sure pantry and basic items are ready and available when the family returns. I can do airport pick up and drop off. I have work in ranch homes with horses and I make sure that runs properly as well. I love dogs and cats, have a small dog at home and I believe our pets choose us their purpose is to complete us. At 50 years old I have learn a thing or two about life, my approach to everything I do is to come from contrition and connection. I learned not to meek my purpose in life when the purpose is to live a meaningful life and create deep connections a long the journey. I am bilingual English and Spanish, the modern family dynamic nowadays is multicultural families and I can adjust and understand each family has different and specific needs.

Booked by 1 family in Mather, CA

Hi parents! I am Elena, a caring and friendly undergrad college student currently attending Sac State!🐝 I'm studying to become a mental health clinician at either elementary or middle school, so working with children is something I'm in the long-run for. I'm the eldest to three younger siblings (aged 14 months, 9, and 18) and care for several cats, dogs, and lizards in my home! I have three years of working with children under my belt as an after school program leader to first through sixth graders. I am also currently working at Village Montessori in Carmichael, caring for preschoolers from 18 months to TK. From these experiences, I am prepared to watch over children at any stage of development! I am flexible to the needs of each family, and I would love to meet yours!
