Hello parents! My name is Angelina. I have had volunteer work with elementary age children since I myself was in elementary school. I have known I wanted to be a Teacher since I was young! I love working with kids. Their honesty and how they always want to have fun in many spontaneous ways are aspects I learn from every time I am working with them. For each child, I strive to discover their interests and passions and create activities based on them they would enjoy! I have 4 Associates Degrees from CRC! Due to my 4 degrees, I have had more than 40 units relating to children including many ECE course units. I have volunteered in a first grade classroom at me old elementary school since I was in 5th grade. I have immense experience with elementary school children since I have had many experiences at various schools in the Sacramento/Elk Grove region. I was a yard duty and an after school teacher at my old elementary school as well for almost a year and a paraeducator at various elementary schools. Overall working with children has been my passion since I was a young child myself. Recently I have expanded my passion for working with children and teaching to include middle and high school students as well. I have felt a passion growing these past few years for working with this age group! However I still enjoy the working with the younger elementary kids! :) for the past years, I have taught seventh graders at my church (Sunday School). I graduated CSUS this past spring with a major in Liberal Studies and a minor in History. My goal is to be a middle/high school History teacher! I am currently in the CSUS Single Subject Teaching Credential Program until May 2019. Overall, it would be a joy to work with you to provide superb babysitting experience for your children. Thank you for reading all about my background and I look forward to hearing from you! :) *Note: I am flexible with pricing! :)

$25 per hour for 1 child

I used to work as a certified parent educator/Facilitator for about 5 years. I work with Sacramento First Five and I raised 2 kids that speak 3 languages and excel in life. I firmly believed kids are here ro teach us and we must learn from them before we can intent teaching them. Each child is born with unique abilities and characteristics and personality traits that provide us all the information we need to help a child reach their full potential. To guide/coach a child you must know him/her first. I have experience house sitting mid size homes and large estates short and long term. I believe it’s essential for families to have peace of mind that their home will be running fine when they are away. I take care of contacting maintenance personnel if needed, manage house cleaning staff, take care of dry cleaners, make sure pantry and basic items are ready and available when the family returns. I can do airport pick up and drop off. I have work in ranch homes with horses and I make sure that runs properly as well. I love dogs and cats, have a small dog at home and I believe our pets choose us their purpose is to complete us. At 50 years old I have learn a thing or two about life, my approach to everything I do is to come from contrition and connection. I learned not to meek my purpose in life when the purpose is to live a meaningful life and create deep connections a long the journey. I am bilingual English and Spanish, the modern family dynamic nowadays is multicultural families and I can adjust and understand each family has different and specific needs.

Yeng Sacramento
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Yeng and I'm a teacher at a center that serves as a Preschool and daycare. I've done alot of babysitting for my family, friends, and coworkers which is why I chose to pursue an education & career in Early Childhood Development and Family Sciences. I'm an extrovert who's typically always found laughing or smiling and making new friends. I believe in providing children with nurture, empathy, and positivity to create a safe space where they can grow. I have 10+ years of experience caring for children (ages 0-12 years). Some of my hobbies include spending time with my family and friends, whether that be cooking, hiking, traveling, or exploring together. I hope to have the opportunity to meet new friends and families while making great memories together!

Alexis Elk Grove
$19 per hour for 1 child

I am 28 years old. I am married and my husband and I have a 4 month old daughter! I am a non-denominational Christian, meaning I believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and in building a relationship with God. I love people, especially children- I am very passionate about loving everyone! My husband and I are youth group leaders at our church. I am also in school to become an elementary school teacher, hoping to teach around the 3/4 grade levels but happy to teach any grade! I love to be creative, to sing, play all types of games (board games, outdoor games, etc.), to read, draw, and be outside. I grew up the oldest of my siblings and I have four brothers and a sister. I was also the oldest of all my cousins which number close to 30 in total. I was always the caretaker of my siblings at every age because our parents had to work very often and opposite schedules, so I was in charge of the kids, and I loved it so much! I was also the go-to babysitter for my family members and the neighborhood kids! I babysat up into my early adulthood, from newborn babies up to teens. Now, I am a full-time mom but I’m looking for work to help my husband out with our income. My availability is very open for evening shifts, aside from Thursday nights because of youth group. However, if I can bring my baby girl with me, that would open up my availability significantly and I can be available all day. She’s a sweet, chill little girly, and very smiley! I am also great with animals! I explored becoming a veterinary technician for a while and even worked in a vet hospital for about a year. I have two cats and a dog currently, but I grew up having many animals! I can do whatever is needed for the care of yours! As for household services, I can add that into my childhood responsibilities as the sole house cleaner. Because of that, I am great with paying attention to the fine details while cleaning and making everything look pretty! I keep a clean household at home and I find cleaning very satisfying! I hope you’ll consider me for your needed services!

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.
