Find a babysitter in Salinas, CA

Hello I'm Beth! I'm a current CSUMB sophomore who has worked with kids professionally for the past 4 years and have taken care of my siblings since I was 13. I am offering care for toddlers, kids, pets, and homes. For the summers of 2022 to 2024 I was a summer camp counselor for ages 6-10 and this most recent summer I was the site lead for the camp. Some of my responsibilities were to choose and lead crafts and games for groups of up to 30 kids, manage day to day activities like lunch, swimming, and reading time, and communicate with parents about any happenings in their kid's day. I have a drivers license and also have a lot of experience cleaning and organizing. I can make simple meals, run errands, lead many different games, and organize crafts. One way I like to promote learning with children is to disguise it as something fun, using competition or mysteries to entice them.

Hello my name is Laura. I have been babysitting ever since I was in middle school and through out college (19). I am an only child, so never had siblings to play on my own. I have always treated the children in my care as if they were my own family. My education background is a B.S in child development and a minor in psychology from Cal Poly SLO and a AA degree from MPC in Child Development. Personally I love taking care of children because it is so much making crafts with them and seeing how they see the world in their eyes.

Hi! My name is Olivia and I am currently a full-time graduate student at California State University, Monterey Bay, studying Speech-Language Pathology with the goal of being a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist for children with special needs. I am CPR-BLS certified and can provide you with my certificate! I have worked with children ranging from infants to teenagers for almost a decade! In the past five years, I have worked as a lead teacher for after-school group care at elementary schools throughout San Luis Obispo, and most recently as an assistant teacher at a special-needs preschool with children ages 2-5. Additionally, I have experience and a deep passion towards caring for children with special needs, including but not limited to the autism spectrum, Down syndrome, and other behavioral needs, as well as familiarity with children using augmentative and alternative communication devices (AAC). I strongly believe that every child deserves nothing less than top notch care and advocacy for their unique needs. I’m also a huge supporter of creativity and the arts! I received my bachelor’s degree in 2024 from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo in Studio Arts (painting and drawing), and have taught various art camps and classes for kids ages 3-14 including painting, ceramics, papier-mâché, and more. I’m a pet lover and have two dogs of my own! I’m happy to help with feeding, walking, playing, or just keeping them company. I understand that your children are your greatest gift, and thank you so much for trusting me with that care. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi, my name is Shawn. I'm offering child care and light housekeeping, and house assistance, like running errands etc. Also, house sitting. I am able to drive kids to and from school and other places they need to go. I have a valid driver's license and car insurance and a reliable car. I also can cook meals for the family. As far as experience goes, I am a mother of four and was a stay at home mom during the whole time they were growing up. I did child care for awhile then also. I also helped raise my granddaughter. We were the house that all the kids hung out at. I love having kids around. I'm a very fun, upbeat person, and kids really do like me. I'm very dependable and I'm sure you would be happy with bringing me on to work with your family. Thank you
