I have worked as a babysitter, pet care, and senior care for about 10 years. All of my experiences and families I worked for were in California. I have experience with children at all ages but prefer to work with older children. I am a loving and caring person. I have great references. I can provide services such as groceries shopping and cooking. I love interacting with children and do my best to be present and help them with their development.

Jessica Elkhorn
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am a mother of an outgoing 16 year old daughter and a sweet little 10 year old boy who live out of state with their dad so I am able to help on my free time for other children. I love kids and have the personal experience to back it up as well. I am outgoing and fun but also very much keep a routine and schedule and feel it’s important for kids as well. So whatever your needs are, I’d be happy to meet the most important little ones in your world and take care of them as if they were my own. I also have dog and cat care experience as I’ve grown up around them and also have a sweet loving cat of my own now. I’m the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends as well because I love animals and welcome the opportunity to give love and attention to them but also am very responsible and make sure any particular needs are met such as giving medication on time or special food requirements or anything else our furry children may need! Bonus!! I am extremely organized and like things to be kept clean!

Hi! My name is Breanna, and I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with hands-on experience caring for both newborns and toddlers. I’ve worked in a daycare setting where I helped create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for children of various ages. I also have personal experience meeting the needs of a toddler and a newborn, so I understand how important patience, routine, and gentle care are for little ones. I’m passionate about helping children learn and grow through play, creativity, and structure. Families describe me as responsible, dependable, and caring. Whether it’s meal prep, nap routines, or playtime, I’m dedicated to providing the best care possible and making parents feel at ease knowing their children are in good hands.
