Hi my name is Sasha and I’ve been working in child or senior care for 7 years now. I started my training by teaching autistic kids how to play sports and do basic life style tasks. Later moved on to taking care of senior citizens and now currently doing a combination of both! I can provide my very own profile background check and drivers license background check. I also have more than 6 references in the Bay Area available. This is my first time using the app so I’m still trying to get the hang of it!

Booked by 1 family in Newark, CA

I came to the United States from Ukraine two and a half years ago to help my brother care for his children. At that time, the older girl was five years old and the younger had just been born. I cared for them full-time until recently, when the younger one began kindergarten. Through this experience, I discovered how much I enjoy working with children and how rewarding caregiving can be. My professional background is in healthcare — I am trained as a nurse — which has given me a strong foundation in responsibility, patience, and attentiveness to others’ needs. In addition, I have completed CPR and First Aid training here in the U.S., so families can feel confident that their children are in safe hands. Now that my niece is in school, I am looking for a new opportunity where I can bring my skills, experience, and genuine love of caregiving to support other families. I am dedicated, nurturing, and trustworthy, and I treat every child as if they were my own.

Tania is an excellent baby very kind and professional, I highly recommend her, she’s our favorite babysitter

Hi! I’m a reliable and caring babysitter with 5 years of experience working with children of different ages. I’m currently a first-year psychology student, and I genuinely love spending time with kids and supporting their growth, creativity, and well-being. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy helping with activities like homework, playtime, reading, and bedtime routines. I can also provide reference numbers from families I’ve worked with if needed. I look forward to connecting with families and creating a safe, fun environment for your children!
