Hello how are you ? My name is victor!!I am a caring, responsible, patient, and positive person who genuinely enjoys working with children. I love creating fun activities, playing games, being outdoors, and finding creative ways to keep children engaged. I am dependable and attentive, and I always try to understand each child’s personality and needs. I believe children learn best when they feel safe, respected, and comfortable. My goal as a caregiver is to create a positive environment where children can have fun, learn new things, and feel supported. I also enjoy learning about different cultures and sharing my own culture, traditions, music, and games with the children I care for, also I have experience with taking care of pets, and I have more skills like a very good driver, I am trustworthy, etc
Hi parents! I am Elena, a caring and friendly undergrad college student currently attending Sac State!🐝 I'm studying to become a mental health clinician at either elementary or middle school, so working with children is something I'm in the long-run for. I'm the eldest to three younger siblings (aged 14 months, 9, and 18) and care for several cats, dogs, and lizards in my home! I have three years of working with children under my belt as an after school program leader to first through sixth graders. I am also currently working at Village Montessori in Carmichael, caring for preschoolers from 18 months to TK. From these experiences, I am prepared to watch over children at any stage of development! I am flexible to the needs of each family, and I would love to meet yours!
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. ”
I am a Kindergarten teacher in the Seattle area! Through my position, I have a clear background check. I am creative when it comes to keeping kids busy and engaged! I also pride myself in keeping a clean house and classroom, so I can help with cleaning as well. Cat care available as well!
I’m a stay-at-home mom to two wonderful girls (ages 5 and 7) and have years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’m CPR certified, reliable, and responsible. My background includes previous nanny work and time in gym childcare, where I learned to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment. I love staying active, doing crafts, reading, and helping kids learn and play in meaningful ways.

"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!"
