Carmen $25 per hour for 1 child

I used to work as a certified parent educator/Facilitator for about 5 years. I work with Sacramento First Five and I raised 2 kids that speak 3 languages and excel in life. I firmly believed kids are here ro teach us and we must learn from them before we can intent teaching them. Each child is born with unique abilities and characteristics and personality traits that provide us all the information we need to help a child reach their full potential. To guide/coach a child you must know him/her first. I have experience house sitting mid size homes and large estates short and long term. I believe it’s essential for families to have peace of mind that their home will be running fine when they are away. I take care of contacting maintenance personnel if needed, manage house cleaning staff, take care of dry cleaners, make sure pantry and basic items are ready and available when the family returns. I can do airport pick up and drop off. I have work in ranch homes with horses and I make sure that runs properly as well. I love dogs and cats, have a small dog at home and I believe our pets choose us their purpose is to complete us. At 50 years old I have learn a thing or two about life, my approach to everything I do is to come from contrition and connection. I learned not to meek my purpose in life when the purpose is to live a meaningful life and create deep connections a long the journey. I am bilingual English and Spanish, the modern family dynamic nowadays is multicultural families and I can adjust and understand each family has different and specific needs.

Daejon $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! We're a babysitting couple dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children. We offer more than just supervision—we create a structured, daycare-inspired experience right in your home. Our activities may include: 🎨 Arts and crafts 📚 Story and reading time 🧩 Educational games and learning activities 🎵 Music and movement 🧸 Free play and imaginative play 😴 Nap and quiet time routines 🍎 Snack and meal assistance 🌳 Outdoor play (with parent permission) We believe children learn best through play, creativity, and positive interaction. With two caregivers present, your child receives extra attention, engagement, and supervision throughout the day. Our goal is to help children feel comfortable, happy, and excited while giving parents peace of mind. We look forward to caring for your little ones and creating a fun, enriching experience for every child! Please send your child with any preferred snacks, drinks, meals, diapers, wipes, formula, or comfort items they may need during their stay. We may occasionally provide simple snacks and treats, but parents are responsible for supplying their child's primary food and drink items. This helps us accommodate allergies, dietary restrictions, and personal preferences while ensuring every child has what they need throughout the day. 📸 Parent Updates We love keeping parents involved throughout the day! With parent permission, we take photos and videos of activities, crafts, learning time, outdoor play, and special moments to send directly to parents. This allows you to see what your child is doing, celebrate their accomplishments, and stay connected while you're away. Your child's safety and privacy are important to us. Photos and videos are shared only with the child's parent or guardian unless additional permission is given. We're a babysitting team with 5+ years of childcare experience and previous daycare assistant experience. We provide a safe, fun, and structured environment for children with crafts, story time, learning activities, music, free play, outdoor time, and naps. We believe in strong communication and keep parents updated throughout the day with photos and activity updates (with permission). Parents should provide snacks, meals, drinks, diapers, wipes, and any personal items their child may need. Our goal is to give every child a fun, caring, daycare-style experience with personalized attention from two dedicated caregivers.

Mandy $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mandy and I am a junior at UC Davis, studying Human Development. I am offering child care for children of all ages. It has been my dream since I was young to eventually work with children and babysitting might be one of the best jobs I've ever taken on! I've only recently began babysitting professionally about a year ago. So far I've only babysat children from the ages of 2 to 10, but really I've been babysitting since I became an aunt when I was 12! I aspire to become an educator. I've recently worked at a preschool for a year and a half, working with children from 18 months to 5 years of age and children with special needs (Autism, ADHD, developmental disabilities, and deaf/hard of hearing). Outside of my experience with babysitting and teaching at a preschool, I have volunteered at an annual summer with children ranging from kindergarten to the 6th grade since I was 12. Since beginning my volunteering at the summer camp, I've worked my way up from being a TA to becoming a main teacher responsible for teaching children arts and crafts!
