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!

Based in Sac 📍 Travel often to the Bay Area Hello there my name is Alia! I am a 29 year old communications professional. My hobbies include reading, writing, practicing my Spanish, bike riding, soccer, arts and crafts, and finding new movies to watch! I have over 4 years experience of sitting ranging from 6 months- to age 17. I have no problem coming to you. My favorite part about babysitting is getting to spend time and have fun with the amazing children. I believe every child is unique and different and it’s so fun getting to know all of them and thinking of new activities. I develop close friendships with parents and children so that we become in a way one big family. I strongly prefer cash, Zelle or Venmo. I do charge for the entire time booked, even if you arrive home earlier than the agreed end time. LATE POLICY: If you think you are going to be late or would like to stay out later, please send me a text or phone call an hour beforehand. If not notified, an overtime charge will be applied to double the time you are late. CANCELLATION POLICY: No fee for cancellation up to 48 hours notice. Under 48 hours notice will be charged a 50% cancellation fee. Under 24 hour notice will be charged full fee.

I've been my family and friend's go-to when they need someone to take care of their kids and I'm ready to do the same for you! I'm prior military and pursuing school so looking to supplement my income with babysitting/nanny duties. I love kids, and they love me too. I was the neighborhood's big brother growing up, and I enjoy taking care of them. Even out in public, I tend to make babies smile and chat with kids.

Booked by 3 families in El Macero, CA

I have two children, 18 and 23 years old. Now that they are grown up and my time is not taken up with homework, soccer, and swimming, I am available for occasional or part-time babysitting. (Full time in summer). As a part-time teacher/stay at home mom for many years, I helped to raise a lot of children in our neighborhood.

“We can’t recommend Wendi highly enough. She is consistently punctual, professional, and incredibly attentive to detail. From the start, she carefully listened as we explained our daughter’s evening routine—including dinner and bedtime—and she followed our instructions exactly. Wendi’s experience as both a teacher and a parent of two clearly shines through in her thoughtful, capable approach to childcare. Our 3.5-year-old daughter bonded with her right away, and it’s clear that she feels safe and comfortable in Wendi’s care. We trust her completely. If you’re looking for a warm, reliable, and highly skilled babysitter, Wendi is the sitter for you!”
