Mariah $30 per hour for 1 child

I began babysitting in high school for a 10 month old and a 6 year old which laid a strong foundation for childcare. In college, I babysat for several school aged children and most recently worked as a chauffeur for two middle school boys, handling school drop-off and pick-up. I also help care for my nephew & younger cousins who are 6-9 years old. I have over 10 years of experience house sitting and dog sitting, which I currently do most often. Additionally, I assist an elderly woman with dementia by transporting her from her memory care home to medical appointments. I am a full time medical student at Bastyr University and am reliable, communicative, trustworthy, and personable. I love working with kids and enjoy supporting families while building community!

Hello Parents, I’m Lisa, a high energy responsible and mature woman with a clean background check. I am drug, Alcohol & smoke free. I have a truck, car and 2 car seats. I have a clean driver’s license and full insurance. I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old which gives me 34 years of experience. I also pet sit & elder sit so if you are out of town I can watch your furry baby's too. Last week I watched twin 2 1/2 year old girls while their parents flew away on vacation for 7 days. Other experience; premature babies, 4 days old babies, ALOT of twins, 3 year old triplets, autism, ADHD, Asperger, Down syndrome, asthma and following a special diet such as gluten-free & dairy free. 2019 I cared for twin 4 months old girls until they were a year old, 2 full days a week. -7/2011 - 7/2017 I was watching Kai from 13 months old till 7. Kai has Autism along with delayed walking & speech, many food allergies and some behavioral issues. I watched Kai for an occasional date night & then every Sunday. On Sunday's I picked him up at 8 am at his house. I then drove him to a soccer class followed by breakfast at a local restaurant. Afterwards we would go to a local park/library/zoo/sea world/movie during the middle of the day. At 3pm I would drive him to his 3:30 therapy horseback riding where his parents pick him up at 4. Kai would also sleepover at my home 1 night every couple of months so his parents can have a night away. Kai is gluten free & dairy free so I can follow a stick food program. I also house sit & dog sat when they went out of town. Sadly after watching Kai for 6 years he has moved out of state on July 2016 to be closer to his grandparents. 2- 2[removed] Samantha age 13 & Stephanie is 10 years old. I watched the girls since they were 3 years old and 4 months old. I saw this family about once a month. 3- 2015-current ; I had been watching Sam since he was 4 months old and he is now 10 years old . I see this family every other month. 4- 2012-2018 I started watching Nick when he was 21 months until he 7 years old. Nick became a big brother when he was 3 years and I started watching his sister Addison when she was 2 weeks old. I used to see this family twice a month but they had a 3rd child in 2014 they hired a live in nanny and I was no longer needed. This is a VERY small example of my history and If you have any other questions feel free to ask me. Thank you very much for considering me, Lisa

Hey there parents, my name is Ashley. I graduated from San Diego State University with my BA in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences. My degree is highly focused on childrens’ language development and because of this, I really enjoy spending time with children. I have two years experience an a Behavioral Therapist for children on the Autism Spectrum and 8 years experience as a nanny for infants and toddlers primarily. CPR and First Aid certified for all ages. I’m very passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can grow, explore, and develop. I have extensive experience managing daily routines such as feedings, naps, developmental play, and age-appropriate activities. If you are seeking a trustworthy, experienced, and loving caregiver look no further. I’ve maintained long-term relationships with many families I’ve worked with. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to see how I can assist your family :) ***Note: I have a 4 hour minimum for all bookings and if a job is at a hotel you are responsible for parking fees. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice must be paid in full. I budget based on bookings and when a booking is cancelled without prior notice it directly affects my budget. Please be understanding as this is my livelihood.***

“Ashley was amazing with our two boys. She kept me in the loop of how they were doing and got our kids to sleep earlier than usual, and they both slept in the next day! She made me feel like we had family watching our kids so we will definitely be hiring her again. ”

Booked by 3 families in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

Bonjour, My name is Sylviane. I am a native of Switzerland and have been living in California now for the last 24 years. I have had the opportunity to be a stay at home mom while homeschooling my two children. My children are my best resume as they are kind, confident and considerate human beings. I am proud of them...as you can see :-) Here is a quick summary of my child care/education experience: French is my mother tongue and I have taught beginning and conversational French to students age 4-17, in small private group settings and in private tutoring. Also, for 4 years, I participated and taught in a neighborhood preschool with a group of 3-6 children. We mainly focused on values like creativity, kindness, cooperation, uniqueness and joy. In the last 3 years I have been a nanny for a family with a 9 month old and a 3 years old. That was the children's ages when I started. I can provide reference info. Feedbacks I have received describe me as a calm, loving, fun and creative person. I enjoy reinforcing children's interests through hands-on activities, reading and outdoor exploration. My approach focuses on nurturing and encouraging their natural curiosity and imagination, offering guidance when needed for problem solving, respectful communication and self regulation of emotions. Now that my children are grown and independent I am available and thrilled to offer my assistance and experience to your family. I look forward to meeting you and your child/ren. Please, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need more information. Sylviane

“Sylviane was an absolute delight - kind, thoughtful, experienced, organized, responsive, punctual. She went above and beyond to immediately connect with our four-year-old and make her feel at ease. We were visiting San Diego from out of town, and Sylviane brought a bag full of books and crafts that they could play with. As a mom who was anxious about our daughter staying with someone new in a new city, Sylviane put us completely at ease. I cannot recommend her highly enough - I only wish she lived in Dallas!”

Booked by 11 families in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

Hi parents! I work as a nanny for a family already but would love to talk about occasional opportunities when I’m available! I have experience with working with kids as a babysitter, nanny, respite worker and behavior therapist working with children anywhere from four months old to eighteen years old. I have around 3 years of experience working with kids with developmental disabilities including nonverbal kids with AAC or PECS devices. I’m very outgoing and love going to farmers markets, a park, Legoland (have a yearly membership since I go with my niece so much) or anywhere really! I also love to be at home sometimes to relax and read, build lego sets or participate in creative hobbies! I love doing puzzles, magnet tiles, building forts and basically anything the kids love to play. I have two large dogs and a cat so I’m experienced with taking care of animals and always willing to learn for any other animal to help take care of them! I’d be happy to help with pick ups/drop offs, taking kids to the park or elsewhere and getting to know your kids hobbies so I can make sure to have fun stuff for us to do and talk about while I babysit. I would be open to discussing how I can help you with daily life while babysitting as well! Please feel free to reach out with occasional opportunities!

“Kiara was incredible with our baby. Very attentive to his needs and made us as parents feel very comfortable. ”
