Booked by 1 family in Walnut Grove, CA

Hello! My name is Acacia and I’m CPR certified! I’m currently a college student. I’m attending Los Medanos College in the Fall and I’m majoring in Early Childhood Education because I’m pursuing a career in kindergarten teaching. I’m trying to gain experience for my future career as well as save up money for school! I love watching children, they tend to like me a lot due to my bright pink hair (haha) and since I’m younger than most people, I can keep up with the chaotic energy of children! My responsibilities included facilitating age-appropriate activities for children between the ages of 1-10 while maintaining safety, communicating effectively with parents, and providing information on daily activities and addressing any concerns promptly. I also have experience in working with cats, I have 3 cats of my own that I take care of when I’m not in school so I can watch cats. I have experience working with dogs, I have walked around ~7 dogs before all ranging in different sizes!

Booked by 1 family in Walnut Grove, CA

Hello, I graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 2018, and recently received my masters. I am employed full time at a nonprofit organization, and looking for opportunities on the weekends and evenings. I have over 7 years of experience working with children 4-16yrs. My first experience was taking care of my younger cousins, and then professionally working at a school. I supported English-language learners achieve their reading goals. I also was an afterschool program facilitator working with kids 5-10, so I have tried every arts and craft project. I have classroom experience supporting Kindergartners with their dual immersion education & supporting them with their playground activities. I love education and enjoy supporting the development of young minds. I am bilingual and happy to assist with homework, household activities, and chores! I have always enjoyed babysitting and working with kids, which is why I have decided to join UrbanSitter.

Ashley is very friendly, reliable, and considerate of our household rules and preferences. Gets along great with our kid. As an added bonus, her Spanish skills have really helped our child's Spanish learning.

Booked by 4 families in Walnut Grove, CA

Hi! I’m an experienced part-time babysitter with many years of working with children of all ages. I genuinely enjoy engaging kids through crafts, board games, movies, or even just a walk to the park. I believe in creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids can be themselves. I’m also a huge animal lover…. I have three dogs of my own that I adore, so I’m more than happy to care for any furry family members too!

Doris was a great caretaker for my daughters (10 & 12 y o). They loved hanging out with her and had fun playing board games. We appreciate Doris warm personality and her professionalism. We will definitely be hiring her again!
