Jojo $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jojo. I’m an 18-year-old high school graduate offering reliable child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been taking care of my younger sister and little cousins for many years, so I’m comfortable caring for children and keeping them safe, entertained, and engaged. While I’m new to being an official babysitter, I’m very excited to get started! I love spending time with kids, doing crafts, playing games, and coming up with fun activities. I’m also happy to help with other household needs. I can prepare simple meals, help with cleaning and organizing, care for pets, and assist with errands or appointments when transportation is appropriate. I’m responsible, caring, dependable, and willing to help wherever I can. I’d love the opportunity to make your day a little easier while providing your family with quality care!

Maria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maria. I’ve been working with children since I was 17. I started as an assistant counselor at kids’ summer camps, then worked as an entertainer/animator at children’s parties. In 2020, I worked and volunteered at a Montessori preschool in Sacramento. I also provided consistent babysitting for a girl for six years. I’m patient, caring, and great at building trust with kids. I love keeping children engaged with games, creative activities, developmental play, music, dancing, and outdoor movement—always prioritizing safety and routines. I’m also very comfortable with pets: I love animals and have two cats of my own.

Gabriela $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Gabriela, I’m currently in school and in my third year at Sacramento State! I'm studying Communication Sciences and Disorders to hopefully become a Pediatric Speech Therapist/Audiologist. I have always loved working with kids! My mom has been a babysitter for 15+ years and I've gained everything I know from her as she is the best babysitter ever! I've worked in a couple places with kids such as helping with date nights, working consistently with families, and at the daycare at the Sac State Campus. There I would work with all different age groups such as 8-month-olds all the way to 4-year-olds. I would mostly spend my time in the classroom with the 8mo-2-year-olds and I loved it so much! I got to create engaging activities for the kids to expand their mental capabilities and I also free d them and changed their diapers. I am a very quick learner and am very open minded. My schedule is very flexible on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at the moment due to school but I'd be willing to help any family in need of a babysitter!

Cadence Mckenzie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Cadence! I’m a college student majoring in childhood education and I’m also a vocalist. I’ve been babysitting for about 8 years, and I really enjoy spending time with kids and helping out families who need an extra hand. I’ve worked with all ages, from toddlers to older kids, and I’m comfortable handling different routines and personalities. People usually describe me as patient, dependable, and fun to be around. I like to keep kids busy with games, crafts, and music sometimes we’ll sing together or make up little songs just for fun. I can also help with things like homework, meals, and bedtime if needed. I take safety seriously and always make sure both kids and parents feel comfortable. Babysitting has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I’d love to get to know your family! I’m looking for full time/ part time positions as well as once in a while jobs.
