Mikaylah $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mikaylah, I am currently a college student majoring in liberal studies striving to be an elementary teacher one day. I have about 4 years experience working with school aged children. I taught swim lessons to young kids ages 2-16. I have 2 years worth of instructional aide experience at a few different elementary schools. I also have lots of babysitting experience working with children ages 1-10. I love working with kids because they bring so much joy to the environment, I am more than happy to watch your kids on a date night for parents or just any occasion you have planned/need to get out of the house! I am very much an animal person, I love cats, dogs, turtles, most likely any kind of animal I love! I would more than happy to just be an occasional babysitter or something a little more serious if needed. I am just looking for some extra experience in childcare while I continue my education and I would love to look after with your kiddos :)

Alana $29 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Alana, a dependable and compassionate caregiver based in Rohnert Park. I have several years of professional experience in customer service, healthcare, and hospitality, where I’ve developed strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills. I have worked in healthcare the last 2 years and have found my passion always based in caring for others. With that I grew up with my own god mother having a day care and helping care for the kids ranging from 2-17+. I have also baby sat for several neighbors over the years and can provide reference’s ranging for children 2-17+. I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive environment for children. I’m happy to help with playtime, homework, meal preparation, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and caring for pets if needed. I understand the importance of reliability and clear communication with parents, and I always strive to make families feel comfortable and confident while they’re away. Whether you need an occasional date-night sitter or regular childcare, I’d love the opportunity to support your family.
