Hello! My name is Skylar Kennedy and I have always known that I love working with kids. I am the oldest of 7 children and started looking after the little ones very early on. Then in my teens and early 20s I started coaching Pop Warner cheer, working in children's theatre groups, and babysitting as much as possible. I started being a nanny at 19years old and just kept up the momentum. I now have worked with over 100 kiddos ranging in age from 3weeks to 15 years old. I also have extensive experience with children on the spectrum, kids with verbal or developmental delays, deaf or non verbal, ADHD, and Anxiety disorders. I am currently finishing up my bachelor's degree in child development and have my first aid/CPR certification. My approach with kids is just meeting them where they are and understanding that children learn and communicate through play. There's so much value in making a mess and/or playing outside as much as possible. Everything can be a learning experience without it even feeling like we have taught a child anything because we just had so much fun getting dirty and cleaning up together. For jobs 3 days or less per week and one time bookings, I do have a late cancellation policy. Cancellations with less than 24hrs notice will result in a 1/2 payment. Ex: if my projected pay was 100$ for the day, the late payment would be 50$. For full time families, I require guaranteed hours per week, paid on the books through a payroll service at 30-40$ per hour depending on responsibilities and number of children. I also prefer to negotiate for holiday/sick days (typically 2 weeks vacation and 1 weeks work of sick time but again we can negotiate a bit!) I also teach acting and baking lessons as well as holding mini craft workshops. If interested, please reach out for details and rates!

Hello ! ! ! Graduated from the University of Alabama in 2019. I work for a real estate tech start up during the week. I have always enjoyed babysitting and love picking up a babysitting gig here and there. It has always been a fun thing for me and a great way to meet families! I began my babysitting career in middle school and since then I have worked as a mothers help, date night sitter, summer break nanny, and weekend overnight sitter. For 3 years of high school I worked at a local yoga studio in childcare, and spent three summers as a camp counselor. I have a wide range of experience with all ages throughout the past 12+ years of working for a wide range of families!
Hello! My name is Pri! I am an early childhood educator for years, worked in preschool as a teacher and baby sitting in the bay area. I provide baby sitting, house sitting & pet sitting. I am really patient with children and have experiences with children with special needs. I have teaching credentials in infants, toddlers and preschoolers. I can help with household tasks, drive & pick up kids from activities. I am also a nature lover who enjoy hiking, whales (especially!). Also, I am a certified yoga instructor.
Hello Parents My name is Melisah. I started babysitting when I was in 7th grade (2004). I am a middle school PE teacher. I have been a middle school PE teacher for the past 5 years and worked as an elementary PE teacher 3 years prior to that. I enjoy working with kids of all ages, including newborn babies. I am certified in adult, child and baby CPR/First-Aid/AED.
Hi! My name is Allison and I'm currently a Junior in college, starting nursing school this fall! I have worked with kids for the past 8 years, volunteering in the nursery (infant-1) and preschool (2-5) at my church, frequent babysitting jobs, as well as nannying for two children aged 2 and 6 for 3 years. I helped the family I nannied for with cleaning up, cooking, pickups/dropoffs, homework help, bedtime routines, and morning routines! I am very energetic and love to play games/engage with kids. I have my CNA license and am CPR and First Aid certified! I am very patient, caring, and more than happy to go the extra mile for your family!
“Allison was absolutely wonderful! She was available on very short notice and was even flexible enough to stay an extra hour when we needed her. My son absolutely loved her! They spent so much time playing together, and she was incredibly patient, attentive, and engaged. I especially appreciated that she gave him her full attention and wasn’t on her phone at all. She’s dependable, caring, and genuinely great with kids. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to other families!”
