Hi! My name is Megan, and I am currently looking for occasional/ part time babysitting or petsitting jobs while I take some gap years before graduate school. I've been babysitting for about 10 years now, but as the oldest sister I've been helping out with my siblings since I was young. I graduated from UCLA in 2023 with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Anthropology. I enjoy learning about health and medicine in the contexts of development and society. Some of my hobbies include drawing, yoga, and eating good food :) I’ve worked with children of different ages, ranging from babies to teenagers, though I have the most experience with babies and kids ages 2 - 5. I find caregiving to be a fun and rewarding job. While kids learn a lot from us, I find that we learn a lot from them as well. I value patience and respect, and these are qualities I show to the kids I work with. I look forward to working with you!

Hello, I look forward to meeting your family and pets. I have experience with giving care for 1-9 year olds. I have 2 nieces ages 2 and 5 years old, so I have changed many diaper, planned outdoor activities, and made their day with less screen time. I have personal experience with raising, training, and caring for dogs. I am a masters of nursing student so my time may be limited due to school, but I would love to spend any free time I have babysitting for any family members.

“Tina helped keep an eye on our little one during a family party at the park. It was a unique situation but Tina was game for the challenge. Very communicative, sweet, and flexible!”

Booked by 6 families in American Canyon, CA

Hi! My name is Andrea & I’m presently looking to work with new families. I provided care for 2 children consistently for 6 years however, those children are now in full time school so I’m caring for them just occasionally for parents’ date night. I also enjoy providing senior care, as I took care of 3 grandparents in their golden years. I am full of patience & kindness for the little ones & am creative & imaginative. I have energy & endurance for newborns up to teenagers. I have a good understanding of social & emotional needs of both children & seniors. I really love working in environments that require organizational skills as i’m detail oriented. I am highly adaptable to most situations & cool under pressure which i think is a must when caring for little ones & elders. I have no problem with homework guidance. I like meal planning & prepping - love feeding people a healthy but delicious meal. If you’re looking for a highly experienced nanny please reach out. I have 3 adult children so newborns are one of my favorite ages to be with. I love children & connect & bond with them easily. Little ones & our seniors need expert care & i enjoy providing that to families. Thank you.

“Andrea is wonderful - she is highly recommended from long term families she has helped. We are lucky to have her !”
