Skyler 2 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Diablo, CA

Hi! My name is Skyler, and I’m currently a student at the University of Oklahoma pursuing a degree in Speech Language Pathology with an interest in working with children. Before starting college, I took a gap year where I worked extensively with families as a nanny and pet sitter. During that time, I cared for children of many ages, helped with daily routines, supervised activities, assisted with homework, prepared meals and snacks, and provided dependable support to busy families. My gap year gave me valuable hands on experience, strengthened my communication skills, and confirmed my passion for working with children. In addition to childcare experience, I have worked as a camp counselor and have experience creating engaging, age appropriate activities that help children learn, grow, and have fun. I enjoy arts and crafts, outdoor activities, reading, animals and finding creative ways to keep kids engaged. My goal is always to provide a safe, positive, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident their children are in good hands!

“Skyler was great with our kids and really wonderful with communication! I would definitely hire Skyler again!”

Hi, my name is Ellen. I'm retired and have been pet sitting for over six years. I am reliable, responsible, caring and attentive. I pride myself on keeping your pets' routine as consistent as possible including their usual feeding times, walks, medications and plenty of attention and cuddle time. I understand how important good communication is when you're away from your pets. I'm happy to send photos and updates and stay in touch as much or as little as you'd like. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you are away. References available

“I honestly can’t recommend her enough! She is absolutely amazing with dogs and treats every pet like they’re her own. She is incredibly loving, attentive, and reliable, and I never have to worry for a second when my dog is with her. She takes her on walks, gives her tons of attention, and somehow manages to spoil her even more than I do! My dog absolutely loves her and is always so excited to see her, which says everything. She’s also the kind of person who genuinely loves animals, so this isn’t just a job for her. She really cares about them and makes sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I would trust her with my dog anytime and recommend her 100% to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets.”

Jessica $22 per hour for 1 child

I served as a nanny throughout my college years and am also a mother to three children, who are now in high school, middle school, and third grade. While I have experience across all ages, I find the toddler stage particularly rewarding as they begin to explore the world around them. I also find the infant stage to be a truly precious time. To ensure I can provide my undivided attention and the highest quality of care, I am primarily looking to work with a single family rather than participating in a nanny share. I would love to discuss how my experience and approach to childcare might align with your family's needs.
