Lucia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lucía, I am 26 years old and I consider myself a patient, responsible, and committed person in everything I do. I study Psychology and have taken courses related to child development and behavior, which allows me to better understand children’s emotions and needs according to their age. In the future, I would love to work in therapy with children, which is why learning from them is very important to me. I also love pets, I have a dog myself who’s very anxious so I know how to deal with pers that are a little more shy or don’t trust enough at first.

Booked by 29 families in Floriston, CA

Hi, my name is Amanda. I’ve been a professional nanny over 10 years. I have taken many early childhood education courses, including the child psychology, health safety and nutrition, practices and principles of teaching young children, child and adolescent growth and development, child family and community, introduction to curriculum, and teaching in a diverse society. I started baby sitting when I was 16, and have always loved working with children. I am very patient, and have experience with developmentally appropriate activities and positive child guidance. If you choose, I can bring crafts and other activities such as story time with felt boards depending on your child's interest. I am also a great date night sitter. I live in Reno, but I’m open to travel up to South lake I do charge a flat rate travel fee to cover gas. Thank you for taking the time to consider me.

“Amanda took excellent care of our 8 month old son. We were visiting Reno and gone for the evening for a wedding. Amanda brought some children books to read, and communicated with us promptly when our baby was refusing his bottle of breastmilk. She managed to get him to drink some formula, and easily put him to sleep when it was bedtime. Highly recommend Amanda!”

Booked by 4 families in Floriston, CA

Hello, I am Hailey, I have been babysitting 3 boys (age 2, 4, and 4) and 4 girls (3, 4, 8, and 10). I began caring for my first family at the age of 14 when she was 3. I cared for her for 7 years, adding on her 3 siblings (girls) over the years as they have been born. My second family was a single grandmother with 2 grandchildren (boys 2 and 4). I cared for her grandchildren for her while she is at work. I also help care for her mother who is in hospice, however she moved out of state early last year. My third family has custody of her grandchild with her husband. I cared for their grandchild while grandma was at work while her husband was sleeping for his job. She retired and no longer needs care for her grandchild (boy 4). I worked with a 9 year old and a 6 year old for a few hours in the morning before taking them to school for almost 3 years. Occasionally I babysat for a family with a toddler and an 11 year old for about 2 years. I have done pick up and drop off, cleaning, laundry, errands, arts and crafts (jewelry, painting, coloring, dioramas, ect.), music (trumpet, guitar, drums, euphonium, baritone, tuba, French horn), help with homework, cooking and baking, bedtime routine, school routine, sports (football, baseball, and basketball), and more. I have done a few semesters at Skyline Community College in San Bruno.

“Hailey was amazing - she communicated, showed up on time and did the required assignments with no problem. Definitely a gold star!”

"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!"
