I am 20 years old, I have worked with elementary school kids in helping with math! When I was younger I would help my mother with the little ones, feeding and changing them. I love going on walks, going to the park with little ones, and doing crafts. I am also bilingual and speak Spanish. I also have a car for transportation with a clean record!

I am a responsible and caring pre-medical student with years of experience working with children, seniors, and patients through volunteering in hospitals and hospice. I bring patience, empathy, and strong communication skills to every family I work with. I enjoy helping kids with homework, creating fun activities, and providing safe, reliable care.

Iam a responsible and caring babysitter who has a background in performing arts, meaning I have a strong knack for creativity as well as lots of patience for activities. It is quite easy for me to engage with kids in terms of storytelling or imaginative play. I would have course prioritize the safety of the kids, but ensure that we are still expressing ourselves in a creative manner. I have been babysitting for 5 years, and I have babysat anywhere from infant children, to children in elementary school. I have been teaching and helping children with homework since then as well. I enjoyed babysitting because eventually when I have a more professional job, I want to be a child psychologist as I love working with children and providing whatever support I can.

Hello, I'm Blanca. With 25 years of experience in preschool and public school settings, I'm excited to join this app. My background includes working with infants to 12-year-old children. I've earned a Bachelor's degree in Child Development and am currently working towards my Master's degree in Child and Adolescent Development at Sacramento State. I also provide pet-sitting services and sensory play activities, such as creating Play-Doh and slime. Ensuring the safety of your pets and children is my utmost priority. Best regards, Blanca.

Blanca was great! She sent me photos to keep me updated, and deleted them on her end. She made the kids dinner, got them showered and kept them on schedule during a busy work night. Blanca was very professional and easy to communicate with. She’s also very friendly and flexible. I highly recommend her!

I am a passionate and fun mom and grandma. I have cared for my grandchildren (now 11, 8, and 3) since they were born. I have a Master's in Social Work and have had a long career in child welfare (foster care and adoption), helping nurture children's physical, emotional and psychological needs. I also worked in an elementary school providing health care back-up, office assistance, and classroom help. I have always been an animal lover. I have had dogs and cats and have provided care for pets, both occasionally and for long periods when their owners were on vacation. I am comfortable feeding, playing, walking, and administering meds. I would also love to provide companionship for seniors and am genuinely interested in their stories and unique points of view. I have a car and can provide reliable and safe transportation.
