Zandreeta 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Del Rey, CA

My name is Zandreeta, call me Zandy for short. I am married and have three kids of my own. I am from the country of Belize and I speak only English. I presently have an associates degree in Business Administration. I have over 17 plus years of experience working with kids, which are from infant age to all ages that come at me. I am very passionate about the work I do. All the children I cared for and I still care for are very special to me, because I treat them as if they are my own. As a mom and a nanny with over 17 years plus experience I have gained every bit of skill and training that I need to know to work with kids. I am patient, understanding, trustworthy, hard working, honest and loyal. Your child's safety comes first at all times. I enjoy doing projects, teaching, having circle time, read, dance, sing, going for walks and so much more. It is very Important to me that I am able to communicate with the parents on a daily basis. As a mom I know how important it is to know what your child has been doing and how they are doing. I am the kind of nanny that will report everything to you at the end of the day. I am willing to work with a parent that works from home, for I have worked with families that the mom or both parents worked from home. I have experience working with special needs kids, familiar with the Kosher laws. Since, I work for Fresno School District as a sub/temp paraprofessional my summers are more open and I have a flexible schedule. Once, I have advance notice I can definitely pencil in working here and there for families. So, I am interested in occassional, date nights and weekend sitting jobs, since I will be able to make it work with my school schedule. I will be honest from the start and say that I do not drive, but I am not a person that needs a car to entertain a kid. I am creator of fun for kids right at home, in the back yard, at the playground and so much more. You can reach me at[removed] or [removed]. Hope to meet new families very soon!

Booked by 5 families in Del Rey, CA

Hi there! I’m Cheyenne and I’m 23 years old. I have many years of hands-on experience working with all ages. Im deeply passionate of creating safe, nurturing, neuro-affirming spaces where every child can feel understood, valued, and free to be themselves. I love meeting them at their level and just having a fun time! I take a gentle but accountable approach that emotionally attunes to your child’s needs. I am interested into going into the field of child development and currently in part-time school. I’ve worked for private families, a daycare, nursing homes, church daycare, and even volunteered at hospitals. I have certifications in (infant/child) CPR, First Aid, OSHA, Food Handlers, and Water Safety. I am currently on call for other families but i’m looking to pick up more hours. I hope you consider me as a candidate to be apart of your child(ren)’s life. Thank you!

“Cheyenne was great with our 10 month old, very caring and nurturing.”

Tanya $16 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m an 18-year-old high school senior, and I’ve had a lot of experience taking care of kids because I’ve helped raise my younger siblings since I was little. I’ve taken care of them through every stage, from babies to toddlers to school age, so I’m comfortable with pretty much any age. I’m very patient, understanding, and I like to make things fun for kids by playing games, doing simple crafts, or whatever they enjoy doing. I can help with homework, prepare simple meals, change diapers, follow bedtime routines, and keep things clean around the house. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in Spanish and English, and I have good leadership skills from school and taking care of my family. I don’t drive yet, but I’m reliable and always follow instructions. I’m also good with pets and can help with feeding, playing, walking, and basic care. I don’t mind whether big or small, I am comfortable with all pet sizes. In terms of household tasks, I can help tidy up, wash dishes, organize small areas, or help with simple chores if needed. I enjoy being around kids, and babysitting lets me earn extra money while doing something I’m actually good at. I’m available on weekends and I’m always open to learning a family’s routines or doing small tasks around the home.

Dahlia $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Dahlia, I have my high school diploma and my AA in Early Childhood Education with a transfer to SCI.I have worked with children since I was in high school, doing babysitting jobs for families or friends. Currently, I work in the ABA field.I have fun art activities for children such as painting or scrapbooking, or drawing.I have 4 cats and 1 dog. Please note I’m scared of small dogs, but if you introduce the dog to me while you are there for a short bit, I’ll be ok. I'm a very outgoing and goofy person who loves to find different things to do. I also knit and draw as a hobby.The reason I’ll be a great babysitter for your kids is due to the education I have and my current job as a RBT for 2 years! I’m also just very playful and have fun activities.I played badminton for college and high school. I can clean and cook while also making sure your kids are safe and well!

Campbell $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver who truly enjoys helping families feel supported. I have two years of babysitting experience with a family caring for two young children, ages 2 and 4, and I’ve also helped care for babies and younger family members from time to time. I’m comfortable with toddlers and young children, and I enjoy keeping kids safe, entertained, and engaged through activities like playing outside, arts and crafts, reading, games, and helping with simple routines. I’m also happy to help with homework, light cooking, snacks, basic cleaning, organizing, laundry, and other household tasks as needed. Along with childcare, I have house-sat many times and have a strong background caring for animals. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets, including animals that shed and larger pets. Families can count on me to be responsible, attentive, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and comfortable environment for children, pets, and the home.
