“Abbey was great with our 10 month old. She connected with him instantly and her intuition of when to intervene or redirect to keep him in a positive state was spot on. We’ve already booked her as much as possible for the next few months. ”
* I am currently only taking occasional babysitting opportunities. Hi! My name is Maria and I seriously love hanging out with children. They are so full of amazing energy and such a joy to be around. I am passionate about children because you can learn a lot from them, like how to enjoy the simple things in life. I have been working with children for over 8 years as a babysitter for friends and family. I am a former Registered Behavior Technician. I learned and gained a lot of experience working with children diagnosed with autism. I have worked with all ages from newborn to 16 years old. I love working with children and getting to know them and their individual personalities. I enjoy drawing, coloring, doing arts & crafts. I can bake cookies 🍪 and take them to the park, museum, zoo or any other fun places too. Kids are simply my favorite to be around. They are full of imagination. I also speak Spanish :) I look forward to meeting many families and building relationships with them so when they need part-time babysitting or occasional date nights, I can help take care of their lil ones. 💕
“Maria did a wonderful job. She was on time, patient, and thoughtful. The kids can’t wait to have her back. ”
Hi! I’m Sholeh, a caring and dependable nanny with over 5 years of experience. Growing up with 4 siblings taught me to be responsible, patient, and adaptable. I love engaging kids in sports and active play, and I’m just as happy cooking healthy meals as I am helping with homework or story time. Families know me as reliable, loving, and committed to creating a safe, fun environment for children to grow.
Hi! My name is Sophia. I am a Criminal Intelligence Analyst and UC Davis graduate (BA in International Relations, double minor in Human Rights & Communications) with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for, mentoring, and teaching youth of all ages. My background in intelligence analysis means safety, attention to detail, clear communication, and quick, practical thinking are second nature to me. Parents can rest easy knowing their kids are in attentive, responsible, and capable hands. Experience & Background I have worked in childcare since age 12, caring for children ages 1 to 17: -10+ Years Babysitting & Nannying: Experienced with all routines, including healthy meal prep, bath time, transport, engaging play, and bedtime. -STEM Program Coordinator & After-School Instructor: Managed energetic classrooms, keeping kids engaged through hands-on learning, teamwork, and patience. -Camp Counselor (6 Years): Led active daily programs for kids ages 4–12. -Youth Mentor & Tutor (3 Years): Provided academic support and mentorship to refugee youth ages 8–17 in Sacramento. -Pet-Friendly: Raised dogs my whole life and spent years as a shelter canine handler, so I love helping with furry family members! Personality & Style I bring a vibrant, bubbly energy alongside a calm, patient temperament. Whether we’re tackling homework, working on a creative project, or enjoying active outdoor fun, I love supporting children’s personal and academic growth. My approach pairs warm encouragement with clear, respectful boundaries so kids feel safe, happy, and well-behaved. Key Skills -Academic Support: K–12 homework help, reading, and STEM tutoring -Languages: Native English speaker with full professional proficiency in Spanish -Household Help: Nutritious meal prep, light cleanup, and pet care I view caring for kids as a privilege and bring reliability, warmth, and peace of mind to every home. I look forward to meeting your family!
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.
