Julie 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Penryn, CA

I worked for Roseville Unified School District in the TK/kinder classroom as an Instructional aide for Math/Phonics Fulltime for 2 years. Raised a family of 5 children in Granite Bay and have lived here for 39 years. I love kids! I love to play sports of all kinds with children, crafts, and all types of art. My passion is to help a child develop their Inner strength and self confidence through educational structure and games, making it so fun they don’t even realize their growing and learning. To watch, learn, and grow with a child is the greatest of life’s gifts I could ever have.

“Julie is an exceptional nanny. Her positive attitude and calm demeanor made everything effortless, even in challenging situations. Her communication skills were impeccable. Our 7-month-old child instantly bonded with her. She is highly experienced and worth every penny. Our little one was out of routine and away from us for the first time that evening. Julie handled the situation exceptionally well. Will hire her again!”

Mary $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mary, and I have a lot of hands on experience caring for kids of all ages. I grew up with four younger siblings, so I’ve been helping take care of children my whole life. I’ve also been babysitting since I was 12, which has given me years of experience with both younger kids and older kids. I’ve worked as an aquatic camp youth instructor for 2 years now, where I was responsible for supervising children, keeping them safe, and making activities fun and engaging. I’m currently a part time nanny for a 22 month old boy, so I’m very comfortable with toddlers, routines, meals, playtime, and naps. I enjoy doing activities with kids like playing games, arts and crafts, going outside, reading, baking, cooking, and helping with homework when needed. I’m also happy to help with tutoring, basic cooking, and keeping kids on a routine. In addition to childcare, I love animals and have experience with pet sitting and house sitting. I’m comfortable caring for different pets and helping with walking, feeding, and playtime. I’m also more than willing to help around the house with cleaning, organizing, laundry, or running errands, anything that helps make your day easier! I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy helping families feel supported and at ease.

Simone $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Simone and I’m currently 22 years old. I’ve worked with kids from newborns up to school age! I have 4 years old experience working with young children and I have such a passion and love for them! I enjoy playing with them, as well as, watching them grow up and experience new things on their own. It such a beautiful moment to watch a child walk for the first time, say their first word, or even learn how to ride a bike for the first time! I can’t wait to get to know your beautiful families. :)

Hello there, my name is Savana and I recently obtained my bachelor’s degree. I have worked with kids off and on for the last 8 years. The most common age group that I have experience with ranges from 3-13 year olds. I am a super active person so I love to get kids moving and have fun doing as many activities as possible! When it comes to pets, I am good with it all from walking to feeding and playing as well. I can also clean and do household activities/services too.
