Hi! My name is Monica — I’m a warm, energetic, and caring 26-year-old who loves working with children of all ages. I have extensive experience providing nurturing, reliable childcare in a variety of settings. Experience & Responsibilities I’ve cared for children ranging from infants to pre-teens through one-on-one nannying, nanny shares, and household manager roles. My responsibilities have included: • Organizing fun and engaging activities like park outings, library story times, and creative play • Maintaining clean and tidy child areas • Managing children’s laundry and belongings • Supporting family routines and household organization As a step-mom to a wonderful 10-year-old and the older sister who helped raise my younger siblings, caring for children has always been a natural and rewarding part of my life.

Booked by 1 family in Canyon, CA

I have childcare experience caring for my three younger siblings, including children ages 0–14. as well as looking after family friends’ children. Since April 2020, I have gained experience supervising children, helping with meals and daily routines, organizing activities, and many more. I also volunteered as a Youth Program Assistant from October 2024 to May 2025, where I supervised children during after-school activities and encouraged teamwork and positive interactions. In addition to childcare, I help care for my disabled grandmother, which has helped me develop patience, compassion, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility toward others. My current job where my position is food service has further strengthened my communication, teamwork, organization, and ability to work in a fast-paced environment. I am dependable, caring, willing to learn, and committed to providing safe, respectful, and attentive care to children and individuals who need assistance.

Hi! My name is Claire and I recently graduated from the University of San Francisco with a Bachelors in communication studies. I have been babysitting since freshman year of high school and also have four years of experience coaching kids soccer both boys and girls ages 5-10. I have loved being able to share my love for soccer while coaching and really enjoy babysitting. I have grown up with dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of them as well.

Alex $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Alex, I have been working at a daycare for the past 2 years and I absolutely love working with kids of all ages. I love the one on one time with the kids the most and that is why I am looking for a change of pace. I absolutely love the great outdoors and doing creative things to help further the children’s development. I’ve been wanting to spend more one on one time with a few kids at a time so that I can really connect with them and watch them grow as little humans.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
