Marylisa $32 per hour for 1 child

I’m excited to be a part of this family, not only as I a nanny, I also have years of experience as a home manager and family assistant. I have a strong background in household management, time management, crisis control and the ability to adapt to any situation I really enjoy the unpredictable role of nanny/house manager. Through my years I have developed excellent organizational and multitasking skills, allowing me to effectively manage household operations, coordinate schedules, run errands and provide administrative and personal support whenever and wherever needed. I take pride in anticipating and planning for the unexpected while solving problems proactively and creating an organized, welcoming environment for your family. Raise in a home in what is now referred to as “Farm to Table” I enjoy using fresh produce, local if possible, in all my meals. Love for cooking became my hobby when our 5 children were small. All my meals can be adapted to dietary concerns and/or those fussy eaters. Based on your needs I could budget/plan, prep or have meals ready to just reheat when you arrive. Just let me know if your needs. Additionally, I worked in the local elementary, Junior High and Sierra College therefore any student concerns I’m sure I can address and have skills to adapt to most academic levels and disciplinary concerns. I also know ASL, a little rusty however with more practice I’m sure that skill will come back quickly. Time management is key and not only will the household tasks and errands be completed in a timely manner., I’m an old school mom, I craft, sew, iron and capable of most household fixes. Understanding the dread of walking into a home where there is a list of tasks and errands awaiting and children to feed, I welcome the opportunity to bring my dedication, strong work ethic and commitment to exceptional service to your family

Cadence Mckenzie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Cadence! I’m a college student majoring in childhood education and I’m also a vocalist. I’ve been babysitting for about 8 years, and I really enjoy spending time with kids and helping out families who need an extra hand. I’ve worked with all ages, from toddlers to older kids, and I’m comfortable handling different routines and personalities. People usually describe me as patient, dependable, and fun to be around. I like to keep kids busy with games, crafts, and music sometimes we’ll sing together or make up little songs just for fun. I can also help with things like homework, meals, and bedtime if needed. I take safety seriously and always make sure both kids and parents feel comfortable. Babysitting has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I’d love to get to know your family! I’m looking for full time/ part time positions as well as once in a while jobs.

"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!"
