Dear interested families, Hello, my name is Margaret AKA Maggie, I would be a good choice to assist your family with infant, child, elder and or pet care because of my extensive experience and education. I really enjoy working with children, seniors, and pets of all ages and abilities. I have 43 years of experience as a caregiver. This includes giving tube feeds, incontinence care, medications, seizure management, and activities. I have 14 units of early childhood education. In addition, I was trained in the Montessori method of preschool teaching. I have a BA in Organizational Leadership and an AA in Human Growth and Development. I have been a nanny for three different doctors. One with three children, one with a 12 month old and another with an 18 month old. I have been an In home caregiver for 4 different agencies. I was an Activities Director for a 53-bed Alzheimers Facility. I was a Vocational Counselor for Learning Disabled Young Adults. I raised four children of my own, the oldest severely challenged. I am an artist and musician and enjoy giving guitar lessons to students. I have experience with dogs and cats also. I used to have my own cleaning business. I would like three consecutive days of work. Tues-Thurs and I can do a 1 time per week evening shift 6-10. Thank-you! I look forward to meeting with you and discussing your needs. Sincerely, Maggie
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.
Hi! My name is Hyewon, and I’m currently studying psychology at UC Davis. I’m passionate about child development and am pursuing a career as an adolescent psychologist, focusing on supporting individuals with developmental disabilities. I have 2 years of experience working with children ages 3–7 as an assistant teacher and 2 years of experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) providing ABA therapy to children with autism aged 4–12. I’m patient, creative, and love engaging children through play, art, reading, and hands-on learning activities. I can also help with homework, light meal prep, cleaning, pet care, and transportation to and from school or activities. I have a cat myself and absolutely love animals!
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!
Hi families! My name is Clariss! I graduated from UC Davis in 2024 and have taken numerous courses focused on child development. I am currently taking a gap year while applying to Speech-Language Pathology programs, and I’m looking to connect with families who need part-time childcare or occasional babysitting. Also, I am based in Sacramento and the Bay Area! I’m passionate about working with infants and young children, and my long-term goal is to become a pediatric speech-language pathologist. I have experience working as a babysitter, nanny, and preschool teacher assistant, primarily with children between 4 months and 5 years old. I love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where children can explore their creativity, develop their language and communication skills, and learn through play! I am also CPR and First Aid certified. Thank you for taking the time to read about me! I look forward to connecting 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!"
