Mackenzie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! We’re Mackenzie & Max, incoming college sophomores with 5+ years of babysitting experience each. We’re currently looking for babysitting opportunities as a team due to transportation needs, and families would still only pay one rate, not double. We have the means to travel anywhere within 10 minutes of the 95842 zipcode. Mackenzie is majoring in Psychology with an emphasis in child psychology, and Max is majoring in English. Between us, we’re certified in CPR/First Aid/AED, Advanced Childcare, Child Development, and Family & Human Services. We love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids, and our backgrounds in music and visual arts help us bring lots of creativity into the time we spend with them. We’re reliable, patient, and passionate about working with children, and we’d love the opportunity to support your family. Feel free to message us with any questions, we look forward to connecting with you!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 23 families in Rio Linda, CA

Based in Sac 📍 Travel often to the Bay Area Hello there my name is Alia! I am a 29 year old communications professional. My hobbies include reading, writing, practicing my Spanish, bike riding, soccer, arts and crafts, and finding new movies to watch! I have over 4 years experience of sitting ranging from 6 months- to age 17. I have no problem coming to you. My favorite part about babysitting is getting to spend time and have fun with the amazing children. I believe every child is unique and different and it’s so fun getting to know all of them and thinking of new activities. I develop close friendships with parents and children so that we become in a way one big family. I strongly prefer cash, Zelle or Venmo. I do charge for the entire time booked, even if you arrive home earlier than the agreed end time. LATE POLICY: If you think you are going to be late or would like to stay out later, please send me a text or phone call an hour beforehand. If not notified, an overtime charge will be applied to double the time you are late. CANCELLATION POLICY: No fee for cancellation up to 48 hours notice. Under 48 hours notice will be charged a 50% cancellation fee. Under 24 hour notice will be charged full fee.

She was great! She was great with 2 kids, and she was so helpful around the house. We’re looking forward to more opportunities to have her support us.
