I've been my family and friend's go-to when they need someone to take care of their kids and I'm ready to do the same for you! I'm prior military and pursuing school so looking to supplement my income with babysitting/nanny duties. I love kids, and they love me too. I was the neighborhood's big brother growing up, and I enjoy taking care of them. Even out in public, I tend to make babies smile and chat with kids.

Virginia $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a passionate and fun mom and grandma. I have cared for my grandchildren (now 11, 8, and 3) since they were born. I have a Master's in Social Work and have had a long career in child welfare (foster care and adoption), helping nurture children's physical, emotional and psychological needs. I also worked in an elementary school providing health care back-up, office assistance, and classroom help. I have always been an animal lover. I have had dogs and cats and have provided care for pets, both occasionally and for long periods when their owners were on vacation. I am comfortable feeding, playing, walking, and administering meds. I would also love to provide companionship for seniors and am genuinely interested in their stories and unique points of view. I have a car and can provide reliable and safe transportation.

Hi, my name is Meriyah! I currently attend Sacramento City College, where I’m completing my prerequisites to pursue a nursing career. I’m the oldest of five kids and have years of hands-on childcare experience caring for my siblings from infancy through their current ages 6-12, including twins. I’m nurturing, patient, dependable, and a natural leader who creates a safe, loving, and fun environment. Growing up, I learned responsibility early through helping guide my younger siblings with daily routines, play, and care. I’m also a devoted pet owner to a senior German Shepherd and a young teacup Yorkie, so I’m very comfortable caring for both children and pets while supporting busy households. Thanks so much for considering me!

Ms Meriyah G. was very friendly, warm, and personable. She took excellent care of my little one. My child expressed desire to have her back again as a sitter. She went out of her way to make my child feel special with a personalized activity.

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!"
