Booked by 5 families in Oakdale, CA

Hi, I'm Ava! I was born and raised in the Bay Area, then moved to the East Coast with the family I was nannying for at the time. I just moved to Modesto and am looking to meet new families! I've always loved working with kids- I started babysitting when I was 12 and then at my local YMCA when I was 15. I worked summer camp, after school, and child watch programs- with children ranging from 6 months to 11 years in age. When I was 17, I started nannying. My typical duties included driving the kids to after school activities, taking them to the park, meal prep, light housework, and general care. I am very comfortable doing basic chores around the house (e. g. dishwashing, laundry, driving the kids places, and other activities) and I have my own car. While on the East Coast I babysat for multiple families and made awesome connections, I'm really excited to do that here in Modesto! :) My current availability is evenings and weekends. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Booked by 1 family in Oakdale, CA

Hi! My name is Gabriela, I’m 19 years old and originally from Mexico. I’m working on my English, I have experience caring for both children and pets. I’m a kind, friendly person with a positive personality, and I love creating a warm and comfortable environment for those around me. Child Care: Most of my experience comes from caring for younger family members like my nieces, nephews, and little cousins. I naturally connect with small children and enjoy spending time with them—playing, doing crafts, or just keeping them company. I’m patient, responsible, and always follow parents’ instructions. I can also help with simple meals or snacks. Pet Care: I truly love animals. I live with my sister, who has two fun and energetic dogs, and I play with them every day. I’ve also cared for other pets, including both big and small dogs. I feel completely comfortable walking, feeding, and giving them lots of love and attention. Pets are family, and I treat them that way. I speak basic English and I’m always working to improve. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little ones—whether they have two legs or four
