Hi there! I’m Cheyenne and I’m 23 years old. I have many years of hands-on experience working with all ages. Im deeply passionate of creating safe, nurturing, neuro-affirming spaces where every child can feel understood, valued, and free to be themselves. I love meeting them at their level and just having a fun time! I take a gentle but accountable approach that emotionally attunes to your child’s needs. I am interested into going into the field of child development and currently in part-time school. I’ve worked for private families, a daycare, nursing homes, church daycare, and even volunteered at hospitals. I have certifications in (infant/child) CPR, First Aid, OSHA, Food Handlers, and Water Safety. I am currently on call for other families but i’m looking to pick up more hours. I hope you consider me as a candidate to be apart of your child(ren)’s life. Thank you!

Hello, my name is Reilly. I am a 22 year-old student at California Polytechnic State University who is looking to make new connections within my town and have some income while being a full time student. I am very organized and reliable, as well as flexible with scheduling. I do have a car so if transportation is something that maybe needed we can work something out there. I have many years of experience caring for both children and pets. I have 11 years experience in 4-H and 4 years experience in FFA, so I am extremely comfortable around all animals large and small. I am also a quick learner if the an animal needs extra or special attention. As for caring for children and seniors, I am both CPR and First Aid certified for all ages. I also participated and passed the American Red Cross Babysitting course years ago when I first became a care giver. I have experience with children of all ages including infants, toddlers, middle aged, and teenaged, as well as seniors. I also have experience caring for sets of twins and caring for multiple children at one time. As for household services, either while being a care giver or not, I like to leave the house cleaner than when I arrived. This would include sweeping, putting toys away, or basic house tiding tasks. I am very flexible and easy to communicate with and I am excited to be a helpful hand to those in my new community.

• Adult & Pediatric CPR / First Aid / AED certified • 18+ years of childcare experience • Creating experiences kids will remember • Non-smoker Hi! I’m Veronica. Caring for kids has always come naturally to me, and I’ve had years of hands-on experience with children of all ages. My nieces and nephews call me the “fun auntie” because they know that when they’re with me, we’re going to have a good time—even simple things turn into something fun. We might do arts and crafts, have glow stick dance time, or just find little ways to keep things fun and engaging. Sometimes they even put together a little “art show” to show off what they made. I also enjoy helping kids learn and grow. I’ve helped with things like riding a bike by being patient and supportive, and I’ve helped with potty training by keeping it fun with sticker charts and little celebrations. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family.

$16 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m an 18-year-old high school senior, and I’ve had a lot of experience taking care of kids because I’ve helped raise my younger siblings since I was little. I’ve taken care of them through every stage, from babies to toddlers to school age, so I’m comfortable with pretty much any age. I’m very patient, understanding, and I like to make things fun for kids by playing games, doing simple crafts, or whatever they enjoy doing. I can help with homework, prepare simple meals, change diapers, follow bedtime routines, and keep things clean around the house. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in Spanish and English, and I have good leadership skills from school and taking care of my family. I don’t drive yet, but I’m reliable and always follow instructions. I’m also good with pets and can help with feeding, playing, walking, and basic care. I don’t mind whether big or small, I am comfortable with all pet sizes. In terms of household tasks, I can help tidy up, wash dishes, organize small areas, or help with simple chores if needed. I enjoy being around kids, and babysitting lets me earn extra money while doing something I’m actually good at. I’m available on weekends and I’m always open to learning a family’s routines or doing small tasks around the home.

Hi, I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver who truly enjoys helping families feel supported. I have two years of babysitting experience with a family caring for two young children, ages 2 and 4, and I’ve also helped care for babies and younger family members from time to time. I’m comfortable with toddlers and young children, and I enjoy keeping kids safe, entertained, and engaged through activities like playing outside, arts and crafts, reading, games, and helping with simple routines. I’m also happy to help with homework, light cooking, snacks, basic cleaning, organizing, laundry, and other household tasks as needed. Along with childcare, I have house-sat many times and have a strong background caring for animals. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets, including animals that shed and larger pets. Families can count on me to be responsible, attentive, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and comfortable environment for children, pets, and the home.
