Hi! I’m Sholeh, a caring and dependable nanny with over 5 years of experience. Growing up with 4 siblings taught me to be responsible, patient, and adaptable. I love engaging kids in sports and active play, and I’m just as happy cooking healthy meals as I am helping with homework or story time. Families know me as reliable, loving, and committed to creating a safe, fun environment for children to grow.

Booked by 1 family in Rio Linda, CA

I've been my family and friend's go-to when they need someone to take care of their kids and I'm ready to do the same for you! I'm prior military and pursuing school so looking to supplement my income with babysitting/nanny duties. I love kids, and they love me too. I was the neighborhood's big brother growing up, and I enjoy taking care of them. Even out in public, I tend to make babies smile and chat with kids.

Riley $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Riley and I recently graduated from UC Davis with degrees in psychology and human development. I am excited to be offering childcare services to my community. I am an apprentice teacher in a daycare classroom at an NAEYC accredited early childhood education center. With over 21 ECE units and a first-aid/CPR certification, you can be confident that your child is in good hands. Outside of the classroom, I have experience providing private childcare to children from infancy through early adolescence. In addition to daily care tasks (toileting/diapering, feeding, cleaning, etc.), I am experienced in scaffolding thinking skills, social-emotional skills, and supporting healthy physical development. I love to sing songs, play outside, and explore the world from the child’s perspective. Working with children is the best part of my day! If you are looking for a caregiver who is responsive, tuned-in, and experienced, then you are in the right place. I look forward to working with 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!"
