Mandy $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mandy and I am a junior at UC Davis, studying Human Development. I am offering child care for children of all ages. It has been my dream since I was young to eventually work with children and babysitting might be one of the best jobs I've ever taken on! I've only recently began babysitting professionally about a year ago. So far I've only babysat children from the ages of 2 to 10, but really I've been babysitting since I became an aunt when I was 12! I aspire to become an educator. I've recently worked at a preschool for a year and a half, working with children from 18 months to 5 years of age and children with special needs (Autism, ADHD, developmental disabilities, and deaf/hard of hearing). Outside of my experience with babysitting and teaching at a preschool, I have volunteered at an annual summer with children ranging from kindergarten to the 6th grade since I was 12. Since beginning my volunteering at the summer camp, I've worked my way up from being a TA to becoming a main teacher responsible for teaching children arts and crafts!

Brenda $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Brenda, I am a current junior at UC Davis studying Human Development and Psychology, and I am hoping to be a teacher in the future. I am offering childcare, senior care, pet care, and household services. I have less than a year of experience babysitting for children, as I have occasionally babysat my niece (less than 2 years old) and my cousins (ranging from 2 to 6 years old). I enjoy pretend play with children, reading books, and I am a huge fan of arts and crafts! Tasks that I can help with include homework help and cooking. I am also available to work as a household assistant. I can cook, clean (would prefer to have the cleaning supplies at the house), do laundry, and many miscellaneous tasks. I have lots of experience with pet care, specifically dogs, as I have my own back home, who is a 5-year-old Poodle mix. I can walk your pet, feed them, and play with them. I do not have experience with cats or other small animals, but I would be happy to also care for them.

Hilary $25 per hour for 1 child

I have several years of experience caring for children, both through my family and professionally. I have cared for younger family members from a young age, and I worked for about a year with a child on the autism spectrum, assisting with meals, homework, daily routines, and stimulating activities. I have also provided after-school care for children ages 5–6, helping with homework, playing games, planning activities, and teaching Spanish. I am patient, responsible, caring, and enjoy creating a fun and comfortable environment for children. I am fluent in Spanish and currently study Human Development at UC Davis. I also enjoy swimming, hiking, and outdoor activities, and would be happy to plan walks and age-appropriate activities with the children I care for.

Booked by 24 families in El Macero, CA

Based in Sac 📍 Travel often to the Bay Area Hello there my name is Alia! I am a 30 year old communications professional. My hobbies include reading, writing, practicing my Spanish, bike riding, soccer, arts and crafts, and finding new movies to watch! I have over 4 years experience of sitting ranging from 6 months- to age 17. I have no problem coming to you. My favorite part about babysitting is getting to spend time and have fun with the amazing children. I believe every child is unique and different and it’s so fun getting to know all of them and thinking of new activities. I develop close friendships with parents and children so that we become in a way one big family. I strongly prefer cash, Zelle or Venmo. I do charge for the entire time booked, even if you arrive home earlier than the agreed end time. LATE POLICY: If you think you are going to be late or would like to stay out later, please send me a text or phone call an hour beforehand. If not notified, an overtime charge will be applied to double the time you are late. CANCELLATION POLICY: No fee for cancellation up to 48 hours notice. Under 48 hours notice will be charged a 50% cancellation fee. Under 24 hour notice will be charged full fee.

“She was great! She was great with 2 kids, and she was so helpful around the house. We’re looking forward to more opportunities to have her support us.”

Booked by 1 family in El Macero, CA

I've been my family and friend's go-to when they need someone to take care of their kids and I'm ready to do the same for you! I'm prior military and pursuing school so looking to supplement my income with babysitting/nanny duties. I love kids, and they love me too. I was the neighborhood's big brother growing up, and I enjoy taking care of them. Even out in public, I tend to make babies smile and chat with kids.

"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!"
