Hi my name is Gabriela, I’m currently in school and in my third year at Sacramento State! I'm studying Communication Sciences and Disorders to hopefully become a Pediatric Speech Therapist/Audiologist. I have always loved working with kids! My mom has been a babysitter for 15+ years and I've gained everything I know from her as she is the best babysitter ever! I've worked in a couple places with kids such as helping with date nights, working consistently with families, and at the daycare at the Sac State Campus. There I would work with all different age groups such as 8-month-olds all the way to 4-year-olds. I would mostly spend my time in the classroom with the 8mo-2-year-olds and I loved it so much! I got to create engaging activities for the kids to expand their mental capabilities and I also free d them and changed their diapers. I am a very quick learner and am very open minded. My schedule is very flexible on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at the moment due to school but I'd be willing to help any family in need of a babysitter!
I babysat sisters and nieces throughout the years. I’m good at my job and I love to care and help others. I have 4yrs experience in Senior Elderly Care. Also looked after their pets(cats) while on duty. I’m well educated and did HR/Finance work for the past 15 years.
Hi parents! I am Elena, a caring and friendly undergrad college student currently attending Sac State!🐝 I'm studying to become a mental health clinician at either elementary or middle school, so working with children is something I'm in the long-run for. I'm the eldest to three younger siblings (aged 14 months, 9, and 18) and care for several cats, dogs, and lizards in my home! I have three years of working with children under my belt as an after school program leader to first through sixth graders. I am also currently working at Village Montessori in Carmichael, caring for preschoolers from 18 months to TK. From these experiences, I am prepared to watch over children at any stage of development! I am flexible to the needs of each family, and I would love to meet yours!
I’m a stay-at-home mom to two wonderful girls (ages 5 and 7) and have years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’m CPR certified, reliable, and responsible. My background includes previous nanny work and time in gym childcare, where I learned to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment. I love staying active, doing crafts, reading, and helping kids learn and play in meaningful ways.
I am a Kindergarten teacher in the Seattle area! Through my position, I have a clear background check. I am creative when it comes to keeping kids busy and engaged! I also pride myself in keeping a clean house and classroom, so I can help with cleaning as well. Cat care available as well!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
