Riley $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Riley and I recently graduated from UC Davis with degrees in psychology and human development. I am excited to be offering childcare services to my community. I am an apprentice teacher in a daycare classroom at an NAEYC accredited early childhood education center. With over 21 ECE units and a first-aid/CPR certification, you can be confident that your child is in good hands. Outside of the classroom, I have experience providing private childcare to children from infancy through early adolescence. In addition to daily care tasks (toileting/diapering, feeding, cleaning, etc.), I am experienced in scaffolding thinking skills, social-emotional skills, and supporting healthy physical development. I love to sing songs, play outside, and explore the world from the child’s perspective. Working with children is the best part of my day! If you are looking for a caregiver who is responsive, tuned-in, and experienced, then you are in the right place. I look forward to working with your family!

Meriyah 1 review
$23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in West Sacramento, CA

Hi, my name is Meriyah! I currently attend Sacramento City College, where I’m completing my prerequisites to pursue a nursing career. I’m the oldest of five kids and have years of hands-on childcare experience caring for my siblings from infancy through their current ages 6-12, including twins. I’m nurturing, patient, dependable, and a natural leader who creates a safe, loving, and fun environment. Growing up, I learned responsibility early through helping guide my younger siblings with daily routines, play, and care. I’m also a devoted pet owner to a senior German Shepherd and a young teacup Yorkie, so I’m very comfortable caring for both children and pets while supporting busy households. Thanks so much for considering me!

“Ms Meriyah G. was very friendly, warm, and personable. She took excellent care of my little one. My child expressed desire to have her back again as a sitter. She went out of her way to make my child feel special with a personalized activity. ”
