Find a last-minute babysitter in Kings Beach, CA

Hi! I'm Julia! I am available for date night and other occasional babysitting. I work at Northstar as a supervisor in the Ski & Ride School during the winter and as a mountain bike coach in the Bike Park during the summer. I love working with kids of all ages! In total, I have 20 years of experience working with children including babysitting, substitute teaching, camp counseling, outdoor education, ski instructing, and mountain bike coaching. I am also an animal lover and am happy to work with families that have pets! My top priority is safety, whether it’s on a mountain bike trail or in the comfort of home. I also enjoy story time, silly kid jokes, and exploring outside!

I raised two wonderful humans to adulthood, and have been teaching high school English for 15 years while earning numerous awards and commendations. I also come trained as a first responder through 15 years of experience with Search and Rescue which includes certification as EMR (including First Aid, CPR, and AED for infants through adults) as well as numerous awards and commendations. I volunteered for 10 years in the youth program at my church (Calvary Chapel, Reno/Sparks), worked as the lead teacher of the school-age summer program at Little Knights and Maidens, led the youth program at my local library for many years, and led my own children through myriad sports and activities (soccer, dance, 4H, Scouts, etc). As my own children are recently off to college, I find myself with more time on my hands, and I would love to serve my community while making some extra tuition money for my own kids. Tutoring of course can be included in the services listed.

I love kids! I really enjoy spending time with kids, taking care of them, attending to their needs, having fun with them mainly, as kids can really teach us so much about ourselves. I have a mechanical engineering degree from CU Boulder, and am currently a kid's ski instructor at Alpine Meadows. I also am CPR certified, have my EMT license, 200 hour yoga teaching certification, and was an ocean lifeguard for five years. I am used to being responsible for other people, adults or kids or dogs, and will make sure your kids have fun.

Hello, I am Hailey, I have been babysitting 3 boys (age 2, 4, and 4) and 4 girls (3, 4, 8, and 10). I began caring for my first family at the age of 14 when she was 3. I cared for her for 7 years, adding on her 3 siblings (girls) over the years as they have been born. My second family was a single grandmother with 2 grandchildren (boys 2 and 4). I cared for her grandchildren for her while she is at work. I also help care for her mother who is in hospice, however she moved out of state early last year. My third family has custody of her grandchild with her husband. I cared for their grandchild while grandma was at work while her husband was sleeping for his job. She retired and no longer needs care for her grandchild (boy 4). I worked with a 9 year old and a 6 year old for a few hours in the morning before taking them to school for almost 3 years. Occasionally I babysat for a family with a toddler and an 11 year old for about 2 years. I have done pick up and drop off, cleaning, laundry, errands, arts and crafts (jewelry, painting, coloring, dioramas, ect.), music (trumpet, guitar, drums, euphonium, baritone, tuba, French horn), help with homework, cooking and baking, bedtime routine, school routine, sports (football, baseball, and basketball), and more. I have done a few semesters at Skyline Community College in San Bruno.

I have several years of paid childcare experience in a variety of settings. I am currently a nanny, and love to supported children’s with their daily routines, helped with homework, prepared meals, and created a safe, engaging environment. I also currently work at Special Education school, where I assist with children’s care, supervision, and classroom activities. My experience has helped me develop strong communication, patience, and problem-solving skills, and I’m comfortable working with different ages and needs. I always aim to build positive relationships with the children and families I support.
