Maria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maria. I’ve been working with children since I was 17. I started as an assistant counselor at kids’ summer camps, then worked as an entertainer/animator at children’s parties. In 2020, I worked and volunteered at a Montessori preschool in Sacramento. I also provided consistent babysitting for a girl for six years. I’m patient, caring, and great at building trust with kids. I love keeping children engaged with games, creative activities, developmental play, music, dancing, and outdoor movement—always prioritizing safety and routines. I’m also very comfortable with pets: I love animals and have two cats of my own.

Cadence Mckenzie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Cadence! I’m a college student majoring in childhood education and I’m also a vocalist. I’ve been babysitting for about 8 years, and I really enjoy spending time with kids and helping out families who need an extra hand. I’ve worked with all ages, from toddlers to older kids, and I’m comfortable handling different routines and personalities. People usually describe me as patient, dependable, and fun to be around. I like to keep kids busy with games, crafts, and music sometimes we’ll sing together or make up little songs just for fun. I can also help with things like homework, meals, and bedtime if needed. I take safety seriously and always make sure both kids and parents feel comfortable. Babysitting has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I’d love to get to know your family! I’m looking for full time/ part time positions as well as once in a while jobs.
