Laura $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Laura, and I am a proud mom of two grown children and a joyful young grandma with lots of energy and an active lifestyle. With a lifetime of hands-on experience raising children, I’m excited to share my love, care, and dedication with other families as a dependable and nurturing sitter. I bring warmth, patience, and genuine attentiveness to every child I care for. I’m kind, compassionate, and committed to creating a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children can thrive. Reliability is one of my strongest qualities—I’m never late and always arrive early to ensure a smooth transition for both you and your child. In addition, if drop-off or pick-up is needed, I have reliable transportation with a clean driving record, so you can rest assured that your child will be transported safely and on time. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind, knowing your child is in capable, caring hands. Taking care of children is not only my passion but also my true calling in life! *Fun Facts about Me* "I have run four half marathons in my lifetime." "Growing up I was a Girl Scout from 1st grade through my High School years." "Now that my children are grown, I have three spoiled fur babies at home."

Booked by 2 families in El Dorado, CA

Hello there, my name is Savana and I recently obtained my bachelor’s degree. I have worked with kids off and on for the last 8 years. The most common age group that I have experience with ranges from 3-13 year olds. I am a super active person so I love to get kids moving and have fun doing as many activities as possible! When it comes to pets, I am good with it all from walking to feeding and playing as well. I can also clean and do household activities/services too.

Julie 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in El Dorado, CA

I worked for Roseville Unified School District in the TK/kinder classroom as an Instructional aide for Math/Phonics Fulltime for 2 years. Raised a family of 5 children in Granite Bay and have lived here for 39 years. I love kids! I love to play sports of all kinds with children, crafts, and all types of art. My passion is to help a child develop their Inner strength and self confidence through educational structure and games, making it so fun they don’t even realize their growing and learning. To watch, learn, and grow with a child is the greatest of life’s gifts I could ever have.

“Julie is an exceptional nanny. Her positive attitude and calm demeanor made everything effortless, even in challenging situations. Her communication skills were impeccable. Our 7-month-old child instantly bonded with her. She is highly experienced and worth every penny. Our little one was out of routine and away from us for the first time that evening. Julie handled the situation exceptionally well. Will hire her again!”

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.

Hi, I’m Mikah! I offer occasional childcare with experience caring for children from 4 weeks old through early teens. I’ve been a nanny since 2018 and was a manager at a local swim school for three years. I’m currently nannying while completing my internship to become a licensed school psychologist. Outside of work, I coach youth cheerleading and compete on a cheer team myself. My responsibilities have included driving kids to and from school, tutoring, leading arts and crafts, teaching swim lessons, and helping with homework. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping, cooking, errands, and have experience with travel nannying and overnight care. I hold a B.S. in Developmental Psychology, an M.A. in Educational Psychology, and am currently earning my Ed.S. in School Psychology. I also hold an assistant teaching certificate in Early Childhood Education and am a certified doula and newborn care specialist. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
