Hi! I’m offering part time childcare, senior care, home care and pet care as services. I’ve been a Lake Tahoe Westshore resident for the past 11 years. My husband and I moved here from Eagle, CO just in time for our daughter to start 1st grade. She’s now a senior at North Tahoe High School. She’s been involved with the cheer and tennis programs but loves the snowboarding winter program the most. We also have two beautiful sisters we are currently a Resource Family for ages 17 & 11. I come from a large family of 7 siblings whom all have children of their own. I’ve taken care of plenty of children from newborn to teenagers. We have an 8 year old German shepherd who absolutely loves the winter but hates bikes and bears. :) My 82 year old Father in law is widowed and retired so we moved him in with us 6 years ago. My nephew also resides with us as we’ve helped raise him since infancy. I was a Communications and Theatre major in College. I’m currently a licensed Real Estate agent in CA and NV. I absolutely love children of all ages. I love to cook and I’m good with everyday housework and have plenty of experience in all aspects of home care. I love everything outdoors to biking, walking, swimming, paddle boarding or just time playing at the beach or on the mountain. I am a current licensed Placer County Resource Parent (Foster Family ) which includes CPR/AED:Adult,Children,Infant + First Aid (BLS) Certification.

Hi, my name is Amanda. I’m a nanny and I have some openings. I’ve been a professional nanny for the last 6 years. I have taken many early childhood education courses, including the child psychology, health safety and nutrition, practices and principles of teaching young children, child and adolescent growth and development, child family and community, introduction to curriculum, and teaching in a diverse society. I started baby sitting when I was 16, and have always loved working with children. I am very patient, and have experience with developmentally appropriate activities and positive child guidance. If you choose, I can bring crafts and other activities such as story time with felt boards depending on your child's interest. I am also a great date night sitter. I go between South Lake Tahoe, sparks and can go pretty much anywhere in between. Thank you for taking the time to consider me.

My name is Juliana and I am from Argentina. I am 30 years old. As I have studied English as a Second Language I have experience working at primary schools and at kindergarten level. I have experience as a sitter for four years now in Lake Tahoe area. During these years I have taken good care of children from babies newly born to kids 7 years old. I like dynamism, and being creative has helped me to add variety to my everyday routines making kids have fun and enjoy while playing. I am very responsable and I do understand that taking care of children and even infants may be difficult and challenging. Thus, I believe I have the tools and carisma to make things work.

Juli was great with my girls ( 1 & 4 yo). She brought toys and was super helpful. Despite of my younger one going through stranger danger period she did her best to make her feel comfortable and safe, played, distracted her and offered help with tasks like cooking, feeding, putting to bed, etc. My older one loved Bluey books and other toys Juli brought to keep her busy. I recommend Juli

Booked by 2 families in Tahoma, CA

Hi, my name is Gig. I enjoy helping children grow, learn, and have fun in a safe environment. With over 6 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to school-age kids, I’ve enjoyed working as a full-time nanny, part-time nanny, and an au pair. I’m passionate about outdoor activities and love spending time in nature. Whether going for walks, playing outside, or organizing fun activities in the fresh air, I believe in keeping children active and engaged. I’m also an avid skier with a love for the mountains, and I enjoy sharing my excitement for the outdoors with kids.

Tassanee came through for us in a last minute pinch. I cannot thank her enough. I booked her literally 1 hour before I needed help. She was a great communicator, professional and kept me updated. I would book her again.
