Hello! My name is Acacia and Iβm CPR certified! Iβm currently a college student. Iβm attending Los Medanos College in the Fall and Iβm majoring in Early Childhood Education because Iβm pursuing a career in kindergarten teaching. Iβm trying to gain experience for my future career as well as save up money for school! I love watching children, they tend to like me a lot due to my bright pink hair (haha) and since Iβm younger than most people, I can keep up with the chaotic energy of children! My responsibilities included facilitating age-appropriate activities for children between the ages of 1-10 while maintaining safety, communicating effectively with parents, and providing information on daily activities and addressing any concerns promptly. I also have experience in working with cats, I have 3 cats of my own that I take care of when Iβm not in school so I can watch cats. I have experience working with dogs, I have walked around ~7 dogs before all ranging in different sizes!
Hello! My first name is Zyla Janine and I just graduated with my Bachelorβs of Health Science at Sacramento State last year. Aside from caretaking, I am also a barista. I care for children of all ages, seniors, and pets as well! I also offer household services. I am the eldest daughter of my immigrant familyβ have been caring for my younger family for as long as I can remember. It has always been natural for me since it is a responsibility I have always had. I would bring them to school and back from it, cook for them, tutoring, and clean or run errands whilst keeping an eye on them. I have done all of the same and more with my senior family as well. Not to mention, I was a CPR/AED certified lifeguard with several years experience. Additionally, I did three sports in high school: volleyball, basketball, and track & field. I went to sectionals for shotput and discus back thenβand I am currently a 2x champion for the intramural volleyball league at the Sacramento State gym. If your child is interested in sports or education, I am glad to help! I was also a tutor at Kumon, an ELA and math extracurricular program that helped kids with their homework as well as activity problems we provided. I also helped my brother with ADHD with his homework growing up too. I have always been a high achiever in school until nowβI was on the Deanβs Honor List for every semester I have been at Sac State! I have been around small caged animals most of my life, like guinea pigs and fish, but I love cats and dogs and would be open to work with them!

I am very outgoing and sociable, and love to meet new people and make connections with them. I am excited to meet new people and create meaningful connections and relationships with them!
Iβm a responsible, patient, and attentive caregiver with hands-on experience babysitting children of different ages. I support homework, create safe routines, help with meals, light cleaning, and engage kids in positive activities. Iβm calm under pressure, dependable, and deeply committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel supported and parents feel confident.

"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!"
