$15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in American Canyon, CA

My name is Michele, I'm 39 years old and I live in Napa. I am looking to babysit for date nights, up coming parties, special events, families that are traveling through or I can sometimes be available for one time care (sick days) or mother's helper. I have over 15 years of experience with children, ages 2 months to 5 years old. I love reading, dancing and singing songs with kids! Most importantly, I will teach your child skills at their level including motor & cognitive, "baby" sign language, reading and writing. I can prepare meals if needed, do some light housekeeping and get your child ready for bed time. I have a current TB clearance. I look forward to hearing from you!

“Michele was very sweet and helped us out with our infant so we could have a nice dinner out on our vacation. ”

Jayla $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Jayla and I’m looking to help families out with watching their kids and or pets. I have two younger brothers that I still take care of— same with 3 of my grandmas dogs since two of them were mine as well. I’d like to use my ability to help others since I do have the experience. I currently have a lot of free time since I’m a part time college student so I want to use that time to put it towards providing care and fun. I’m reliable, responsible, patient, and I’d love to be apart of children’s and pet’s happiness since that also makes me happy.

Amanda $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amanda, and I currently live in Benicia, California. I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering and will be pursuing my Master's over the next year. In the meantime, I'm looking to nanny and would love to support a great family! I have very flexible hours and am certified in both First Aid and CPR. I have over eight years of experience working with children of all ages and truly love what I do. I have previously worked as an Assistant Daycare Teacher, where I focused on creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while working closely with parents to support each child's individual needs. I have also spent my summers working at a baseball camp for toddlers, so I'm very comfortable keeping kids active, engaged, and entertained. I always aim to make kids feel happy, safe, and and cared for. I'd love the opportunity to help out your family!
