Lauren $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a dependable and engaging caregiver with extensive hands-on experience caring for young children. I’m a mom of two children, so I’m familiar with daily routines, transitions, and the needs of infants, preschool and early elementary-aged kids. I also have experience providing care for teens and tweens. I enjoy keeping kids engaged through art projects, books, imaginative play, building activities, and outdoor time, while also maintaining a calm and fun environment. I have prior babysitting experience and bring a patient and attentive approach to caregiving. I’m comfortable managing meals, playtime, and bedtime routines, and I’m also pet-friendly with many years of experience caring for cats. I’m currently seeking occasional and part-time babysitting opportunities and am happy to support families who need a reliable, caring sitter.

$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 6 families in Saratoga, CA

Hi wonderful families! My name is Sophia & I am 23 years old. I graduated with my Associates degree in Science/Health Care. I grew up as an only child for 21 years until my mom recently had a second child which is my baby brother who i adore so much and has taught me so much on how to take care of young infants/toddlers. He is my world. He’s 2 years old. I do occasional jobs on here and if the family likes me (which they usually do! Hehe) they give me a call or text whenever they need me to come back! Experience: I was a nanny to a 1 year old boy for a couple of months until the family had to move. I love being a sitter, i have always babysat my little cousins starting at 16 years old. I have also volunteered at a preschool watching infants as young as five months and as old as five years old. I am also CPR certified and can show proof of my certification. I am okay with dogs or cats in the home. Please let me know if you have any questions, I will be happy to hear back from you!

“Sophia was friendly and on time. My 2 year old had a great time with her! ”

I am a caring, responsible, and patient childcare provider who truly enjoys spending time with children of all ages, from babies to older kids. I love creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children feel comfortable, valued, and cared for. I enjoy playing with children, interacting with them, reading stories, doing age-appropriate activities, and encouraging their creativity and development. I also enjoy taking them to the park, going for walks, or simply staying home and spending quality time together.
