Pearl $20 per hour for 1 child

I have some variety in the early childhood development locations that I have had the privilege to work in. La Petite academy and Sunshine playschool are more play based and child led, while Guidepost is a Montessori school. At La petite, we had more guidance in terms of the activities that the students were taking part in, and it was so fun to plan out. At sunshine playschool, we spent the days outside. Kaitlin and Meghan feel very strongly about a child-led program, so we were always paying attention to each child and what they were interested in learning about. We tailored the curriculum specifically to them, as well as taking their developmental processes and learning outcomes in mind. Guidepost is my first Montessori school, and I have definitely learned a lot. I really appreciate the self-sufficiency skills that the philosophy holds, and allowing the children to explore learning at their own pace. I also have experience in babysitting: Managed schedules to ensure that children stayed consistent with routines (including meals, various activities, bedtime, etc) Provided care for children ranging from ages 2-10 Quickly addressed and resolved any issues that arose Engaged children in activities to promote literacy skills, as well as other forms of development Communicated effectively with parents to provide updates and address concerns

Qianna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Quianna, and I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with a natural love for helping others. I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment for the people I care for. I have hands-on childcare experience from raising my two children and babysitting when they were younger. I am a mother of two young adult children and a proud grandmother to a 1-year-old granddaughter, so caring for children comes naturally to me. I enjoy helping with daily routines, playtime, learning activities, and making sure children feel safe and supported. I also have experience helping others with everyday tasks such as companionship, light housekeeping, meal preparation, errands, and organization. I am patient, respectful, and enjoy being helpful wherever I’m needed. I am also working toward opening my own home daycare in 2027, because caring for children is something I am truly passionate about and plan to continue long-term. Families describe me as reliable, friendly, drama-free, and easy to communicate with. I’m trustworthy, organized, and take my responsibilities seriously. I treat every home with respect and care as if it were my own. I look forward to supporting your family and providing dependable, compassionate care.

Riley $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Riley and I recently graduated from UC Davis with degrees in psychology and human development. I am excited to be offering childcare services to my community. I am an apprentice teacher in a daycare classroom at an NAEYC accredited early childhood education center. With over 21 ECE units and a first-aid/CPR certification, you can be confident that your child is in good hands. Outside of the classroom, I have experience providing private childcare to children from infancy through early adolescence. In addition to daily care tasks (toileting/diapering, feeding, cleaning, etc.), I am experienced in scaffolding thinking skills, social-emotional skills, and supporting healthy physical development. I love to sing songs, play outside, and explore the world from the child’s perspective. Working with children is the best part of my day! If you are looking for a caregiver who is responsive, tuned-in, and experienced, then you are in the right place. I look forward to working with your family!

Meriyah 1 review
$23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in El Macero, CA

Hi, my name is Meriyah! I currently attend Sacramento City College, where I’m completing my prerequisites to pursue a nursing career. I’m the oldest of five kids and have years of hands-on childcare experience caring for my siblings from infancy through their current ages 6-12, including twins. I’m nurturing, patient, dependable, and a natural leader who creates a safe, loving, and fun environment. Growing up, I learned responsibility early through helping guide my younger siblings with daily routines, play, and care. I’m also a devoted pet owner to a senior German Shepherd and a young teacup Yorkie, so I’m very comfortable caring for both children and pets while supporting busy households. Thanks so much for considering me!

“Ms Meriyah G. was very friendly, warm, and personable. She took excellent care of my little one. My child expressed desire to have her back again as a sitter. She went out of her way to make my child feel special with a personalized activity. ”

"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!"
