Hi! We're a babysitting couple dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children. We offer more than just supervision—we create a structured, daycare-inspired experience right in your home. Our activities may include: 🎨 Arts and crafts 📚 Story and reading time 🧩 Educational games and learning activities 🎵 Music and movement 🧸 Free play and imaginative play 😴 Nap and quiet time routines 🍎 Snack and meal assistance 🌳 Outdoor play (with parent permission) We believe children learn best through play, creativity, and positive interaction. With two caregivers present, your child receives extra attention, engagement, and supervision throughout the day. Our goal is to help children feel comfortable, happy, and excited while giving parents peace of mind. We look forward to caring for your little ones and creating a fun, enriching experience for every child! Please send your child with any preferred snacks, drinks, meals, diapers, wipes, formula, or comfort items they may need during their stay. We may occasionally provide simple snacks and treats, but parents are responsible for supplying their child's primary food and drink items. This helps us accommodate allergies, dietary restrictions, and personal preferences while ensuring every child has what they need throughout the day. 📸 Parent Updates We love keeping parents involved throughout the day! With parent permission, we take photos and videos of activities, crafts, learning time, outdoor play, and special moments to send directly to parents. This allows you to see what your child is doing, celebrate their accomplishments, and stay connected while you're away. Your child's safety and privacy are important to us. Photos and videos are shared only with the child's parent or guardian unless additional permission is given. We're a babysitting team with 5+ years of childcare experience and previous daycare assistant experience. We provide a safe, fun, and structured environment for children with crafts, story time, learning activities, music, free play, outdoor time, and naps. We believe in strong communication and keep parents updated throughout the day with photos and activity updates (with permission). Parents should provide snacks, meals, drinks, diapers, wipes, and any personal items their child may need. Our goal is to give every child a fun, caring, daycare-style experience with personalized attention from two dedicated caregivers.
I am a a current Medical Assistant in training that had learned all of the basics such as checking vitals, CPR, etc! I’ve grew up taking care of children and proceeded to work in daycare at the age of 16! I have experience with children all ages with all different backgrounds. I’m willing and determined to help people in need with a strong sense of urgency.
Hi! My name is Jojo. I’m an 18-year-old high school graduate offering reliable child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been taking care of my younger sister and little cousins for many years, so I’m comfortable caring for children and keeping them safe, entertained, and engaged. While I’m new to being an official babysitter, I’m very excited to get started! I love spending time with kids, doing crafts, playing games, and coming up with fun activities. I’m also happy to help with other household needs. I can prepare simple meals, help with cleaning and organizing, care for pets, and assist with errands or appointments when transportation is appropriate. I’m responsible, caring, dependable, and willing to help wherever I can. I’d love the opportunity to make your day a little easier while providing your family with quality care!
Hi! My name is Mandy and I am a junior at UC Davis, studying Human Development. I am offering child care for children of all ages. It has been my dream since I was young to eventually work with children and babysitting might be one of the best jobs I've ever taken on! I've only recently began babysitting professionally about a year ago. So far I've only babysat children from the ages of 2 to 10, but really I've been babysitting since I became an aunt when I was 12! I aspire to become an educator. I've recently worked at a preschool for a year and a half, working with children from 18 months to 5 years of age and children with special needs (Autism, ADHD, developmental disabilities, and deaf/hard of hearing). Outside of my experience with babysitting and teaching at a preschool, I have volunteered at an annual summer with children ranging from kindergarten to the 6th grade since I was 12. Since beginning my volunteering at the summer camp, I've worked my way up from being a TA to becoming a main teacher responsible for teaching children arts and crafts!
Hi every one my name is Franchesca, I am a sophomore in college. I grew up by the beach my whole life so I love anything revolving nature and outdoors. I am a very understanding individual when it comes to children, I love teaching my nieces new things such as cooking treats or painting. During the summer I often watch kids with my grandma as she has her own care taking company with age ranges from 2-8. I’m open to care taking for pets as well. If that’s taking them for walks feeding them growing I’m up for the challenge. As well as helping around the house as needed rather that be dishes or picking up laundry for the family I’m always open to discussing any and all help needed. I was in cheer all throughout highschool so I can understand life gets busy and if you need your child to be taken to school or sports related events I am available for taking them to that as well.
