Booked by 1 family in Rio Linda, CA

Hello, I graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 2018, and recently received my masters. I am employed full time at a nonprofit organization, and looking for opportunities on the weekends and evenings. I have over 7 years of experience working with children 4-16yrs. My first experience was taking care of my younger cousins, and then professionally working at a school. I supported English-language learners achieve their reading goals. I also was an afterschool program facilitator working with kids 5-10, so I have tried every arts and craft project. I have classroom experience supporting Kindergartners with their dual immersion education & supporting them with their playground activities. I love education and enjoy supporting the development of young minds. I am bilingual and happy to assist with homework, household activities, and chores! I have always enjoyed babysitting and working with kids, which is why I have decided to join UrbanSitter.

Ashley is very friendly, reliable, and considerate of our household rules and preferences. Gets along great with our kid. As an added bonus, her Spanish skills have really helped our child's Spanish learning.

Booked by 1 family in Rio Linda, CA

Hi, I’m Mikah! I offer occasional childcare with experience caring for children from 4 weeks old through early teens. I’ve been a nanny since 2018 and was a manager at a local swim school for three years. I’m currently nannying while completing my internship to become a licensed school psychologist. Outside of work, I coach youth cheerleading and compete on a cheer team myself. My responsibilities have included driving kids to and from school, tutoring, leading arts and crafts, teaching swim lessons, and helping with homework. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping, cooking, errands, and have experience with travel nannying and overnight care. I hold a B.S. in Developmental Psychology, an M.A. in Educational Psychology, and am currently earning my Ed.S. in School Psychology. I also hold an assistant teaching certificate in Early Childhood Education and am a certified doula and newborn care specialist. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Rio Linda, CA

I have two children, 18 and 23 years old. Now that they are grown up and my time is not taken up with homework, soccer, and swimming, I am available for occasional or part-time babysitting. (Full time in summer). As a part-time teacher/stay at home mom for many years, I helped to raise a lot of children in our neighborhood.

We can’t recommend Wendi highly enough. She is consistently punctual, professional, and incredibly attentive to detail. From the start, she carefully listened as we explained our daughter’s evening routine—including dinner and bedtime—and she followed our instructions exactly. Wendi’s experience as both a teacher and a parent of two clearly shines through in her thoughtful, capable approach to childcare. Our 3.5-year-old daughter bonded with her right away, and it’s clear that she feels safe and comfortable in Wendi’s care. We trust her completely. If you’re looking for a warm, reliable, and highly skilled babysitter, Wendi is the sitter for you!
