Sophia $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sophie, and I’m a junior at UC Davis studying English with minors in Education and Psychology. I’m an aspiring elementary school teacher and offer reliable, childcare, pet care, and household help. I have experience volunteering in both first- and third-grade classrooms, and I currently complete a 5-hour-per-week internship in a first-grade classroom at Pioneer Elementary School. I’ve taken courses in Human Growth and Development, Psychology, Language Development, and Introduction to Schools. I have a passion for working with and supporting young children. I also have experience caring for pets, including pet sitting for family members while they were away and caring for pets of my own. In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m happy to help with light household tasks, cleaning, errands, driving to appointments, and other day-to-day needs. I’m dependable and happy to tailor my help to each family’s needs!

Adira $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Adira and I'm currently a junior at UC Davis. I am majoring in psychology and minoring in education. I am offering child care. I love being a babysitter and helping out with kids extracurriculars. I also worked as a summer camp counselor where I had the opportunity to be the primary care-taker for campers ranging from 3rd to 10th grade. Through our counselor training, I have learned how to refocus attention, play engaging games, and help kids maintain routine. I also have a lot of experience settling in kids having difficulty falling asleep. I also love theater, and have volunteered for many youth shows, so getting to sing and dance with kids is my favorite! I am happy to aid with homework and study! I am also certified in Adult and Pediatric CPR/AED & First Aid.

Helen $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a patient, responsible, and caring person who genuinely loves spending time with children. I’m creative and enjoy doing arts and crafts, baking, cooking, and finding fun activities to keep kids engaged. I’m also very attentive and adaptable to each child’s individual personality, needs, and routines. Being a lifeguard and swim instructor taught me to prioritize safety and stay calm in unexpected situations, while my experience babysitting children of different ages, including children with special needs, has made me patient and understanding. I’m also the middle of three girls, so I’ve always enjoyed being around kids and understand the importance of being a supportive and dependable role model.

Dariany $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello parents! My name is Dariany, and I'm a 23 year old college student majoring in Biological Sciences. I'm a compassionate and responsible caregiver with over three years of experience working with children ranging from preschool to sixth grade. I have worked as an afterschool program leader, where I supported children academically, created engaging indoor and outdoor activities, and maintained a safe, nurturing, and emotionally supportive environment. I enjoy helping children with homework in subjects such as math, reading comprehension, and art, and I take pride in encouraging their learning and personal growth. I am BLS/CPR and AED certified and am committed to providing dependable, attentive, and caring support to every child and family I work with. * I have worked primarily with children and have the most experience caring for children ages 6 and up. * I'm interested in providing occasional care such as date nights, outings, and similar needs.

Carly $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Carly! I’m a second-year student at UC Davis, looking for babysitting, pet-sitting, or housework in the area. Most of my experience working with kids so far has been volunteer work in schools (primarily kinder and 2nd-5th grades) and camps (both daytime and overnight, mostly ages 8-14). I’m trained in CPR and first aid. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and occasionally chickens, and I have done some overnight dog/house sitting as well. I’m currently studying Human Development, hoping to become a pediatric occupational therapist and children’s novelist. I dance, juggle, play trumpet and baritone ukulele, cook/bake, garden, and knit. I love books (especially Roald Dahl), and I’m happy to read aloud. I’m patient and studious, and have plenty of experience helping with homework. I love kids of all ages and animals of all kinds, and I am always ready to learn something new.

"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!"
