Hi, I'm Ava! I was born and raised in the Bay Area, then moved to the East Coast with the family I was nannying for at the time. I just moved to Modesto and am looking to meet new families! I've always loved working with kids- I started babysitting when I was 12 and then at my local YMCA when I was 15. I worked summer camp, after school, and child watch programs- with children ranging from 6 months to 11 years in age. When I was 17, I started nannying. My typical duties included driving the kids to after school activities, taking them to the park, meal prep, light housework, and general care. I am very comfortable doing basic chores around the house (e. g. dishwashing, laundry, driving the kids places, and other activities) and I have my own car. While on the East Coast I babysat for multiple families and made awesome connections, I'm really excited to do that here in Modesto! :) My current availability is evenings and weekends. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi! My name is Mia. I’ve always loved caring for children, and it brings me so much joy to make kids feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m naturally sweet, nurturing, and patient, and I truly enjoy connecting with little ones and creating an environment where they feel comfortable and supported. I’m creative and energetic, and I love being outdoors, exploring, and doing fun, educational activities that help kids learn in playful, hands-on ways. I’ve also spent time volunteering at my church daycare, which gave me wonderful experience working with children of different ages and personalities. At home, I care for my dog Bambi, who has taught me a lot about responsibility and routine. I also help take care of my grandmother, who has dementia. Supporting her has given me a deeper compassion for others, especially those who need extra patience, love, and understanding — and I bring that same level of care to every family I work with. I’m reliable, gentle, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure your child feels safe, cared for, and truly valued. Their comfort and well-being will always be my top priority. I’m available on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursday evenings, and Saturdays, and I’d love the chance to get to know your family.

HII! My name is Ebany. I am 19 years old and currently a nursing student. I am open and available for a babysitting job. I gained experience working with younger and older children by working with my mom since I was 7 years old in her home daycare and from my most recent job working with a care provider company where I have been babysitting kids. I’m very gentle, patient, kind, and hardworking. I’m willing to care for any children of age. I would be more than happy to set up an interview so that way you can get to know me better , I look forward to caring for your young ones! Thank you!

"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!"
