Elena Arden-Arcade
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! I am Elena, an outgoing 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 10 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 CPR/AED certified. 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 Sarah, I’m 24 years old and currently serving in the U.S. Army. I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages — especially babies and toddlers — and a true passion for helping families. I’m also currently working on my A.S. in Criminal Justice, which has made me even more focused on safety, responsibility, and integrity. 👶 Experience: • 2 years as an Au Pair (2[removed]) with the same family, caring for 3 children (2 months, 1.5 years, and 2.5 years old). • Worked with multiple families, caring for children from newborn to 6 years old. • Assisted with household tasks: laundry, cooking, light cleaning, and driving children to activities. • Excellent references available upon request. 🎨 About Me: • Calm, responsible, punctual, and proactive. • Energetic — love arts & crafts, painting, drawing, and outdoor activities. • Fluent in two languages and currently learning a third. • Very organized and always create a safe, clean, and positive environment. • Always eager to help and learn new things. • Have my own reliable car and safe driving record. • Love kids and truly enjoy building meaningful connections with them. 🐾 A Little More About Me: • Animal lover — I have two dogs of my own (a Siberian Husky and a German Shepherd). • Grew up on a farm and love all animals. • Experience caring for elderly family members, having grown up helping and looking after my grandparents. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, loving, hardworking nanny who will care for your children as if they were my own (and maybe even love your pets too!), send me a message. I’d love to connect and see if we’re the right fit! 💛

Franchesca Sacramento
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi every one my name is Franchesca, I am a sophomore in college. I grew up by the beach my whole life so I love anything revolving nature and outdoors. I am a very understanding individual when it comes to children, I love teaching my nieces new things such as cooking treats or painting. During the summer I often watch kids with my grandma as she has her own care taking company with age ranges from 2-8. I’m open to care taking for pets as well. If that’s taking them for walks feeding them growing I’m up for the challenge. As well as helping around the house as needed rather that be dishes or picking up laundry for the family I’m always open to discussing any and all help needed. I was in cheer all throughout highschool so I can understand life gets busy and if you need your child to be taken to school or sports related events I am available for taking them to that as well.
