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.

Diana $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families! I’m Diana, a 20-year-old who genuinely enjoys working with kids and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them. I have 6 years of childcare experience and am CPR and First Aid certified. I would describe myself as patient, calm, creative, and easy to communicate with. As an identical twin and someone who has helped care for younger toddler siblings, I’ve developed a natural connection with children of different ages. I also have 3 years of experience working with the City of Fresno youth sports programs, where I’ve worked with kids ages 3–17. I enjoy keeping kids active and engaged through outdoor play, puzzles, crafts, and educational activities. I’m also happy to help with meal prep, light housekeeping, and daily routines while always respecting parents’ preferences and household rules. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, which helps me connect with families from different backgrounds. My goal is to help children feel safe, supported, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind. I look forward to meeting your family!

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.

Booked by 2 families in Fresno, CA

Hello! I graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work at Sacramento State in 2024 and am now pursuing my Master’s Degree! I have worked with kids as young as 6 months - teens for the past 6 years now. I have 5 nephews and 1 niece all under 8 years, that I regularly take care of. I was a cheer coach to girls in 3rd-8th grade and also worked at a teen center for kids in 6th-12th grade. I’m really outgoing and reliable and would love to be a help in any way that helps out your family! I can run errands and do basic clean up around the house. Some responsibilities I have done in the past include driving kids to/from school, lessons, and activities. I have also babysat kids for date nights and during the day time for parents who work. I do not mind occasionally checking up, walking or feeding dogs!

“Alizo drove my daughter all summer! She was reliable, excellent communicator, punctual, professional and flexible. Highly recommend!”
