Amanda 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Fairfield, CA

I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages, from infants to pre-teens. My passion for childcare comes from growing up in a big family of 6 siblings where I often looked after all my nieces and nephews. Babysitting has taught me patience, creativity, and responsibility, and I truly enjoy being part of a child’s growth and daily routines. I’m reliable, organized, and calm under pressure, but I also bring a fun and energetic side to any workplace I am in. I love planning activities like arts and crafts, reading stories, or playing games that keep kids entertained and engaged. Safety is always my top priority, and I’m confident handling bedtime routines, homework, teaching chores, and having fun while being safe. Parents describe me as dependable, kind, and someone who makes their kids feel comfortable right away. Babysitting isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I strive to create a safe, fun, and caring environment for every child I watch. I look forward to each day to go to work.

Mariana $22 per hour for 1 child

With 3+ years of childcare experience, I am all about having fun while being safe and comfortable! For the last 2 almost 3 years I have worked as a camp counselor. I love adventures, doing crafts and even playing fun games to keep the spirits high and mind learning. I am First Aid and CPR certified, as safety is my #1. I can offer light cleaning, running errands, homework help and love pets. I have my own car so rides are always available. Feel free to reach out if you need any additional information!

Amanda $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amanda, and I currently live in Benicia, California. I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering and will be pursuing my Master's over the next year. In the meantime, I'm looking to nanny and would love to support a great family! I have very flexible hours and am certified in both First Aid and CPR. I have over eight years of experience working with children of all ages and truly love what I do. I have previously worked as an Assistant Daycare Teacher, where I focused on creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while working closely with parents to support each child's individual needs. I have also spent my summers working at a baseball camp for toddlers, so I'm very comfortable keeping kids active, engaged, and entertained. I always aim to make kids feel happy, safe, and and cared for. I'd love the opportunity to help out your family!
