Booked by 1 family in Rancho Cordova, CA

Hello, I graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 2018, and recently received my masters. I am employed full time at a nonprofit organization, and looking for opportunities on the weekends and evenings. I have over 7 years of experience working with children 4-16yrs. My first experience was taking care of my younger cousins, and then professionally working at a school. I supported English-language learners achieve their reading goals. I also was an afterschool program facilitator working with kids 5-10, so I have tried every arts and craft project. I have classroom experience supporting Kindergartners with their dual immersion education & supporting them with their playground activities. I love education and enjoy supporting the development of young minds. I am bilingual and happy to assist with homework, household activities, and chores! I have always enjoyed babysitting and working with kids, which is why I have decided to join UrbanSitter.

“Ashley is very friendly, reliable, and considerate of our household rules and preferences. Gets along great with our kid. As an added bonus, her Spanish skills have really helped our child's Spanish learning.”

Franchesca $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.

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

"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!"
