Hello, I'm Blanca. With 25 years of experience in preschool and public school settings, I'm excited to join this app. My background includes working with infants to 12-year-old children. I've earned a Bachelor's degree in Child Development and am currently working towards my Master's degree in Child and Adolescent Development at Sacramento State. I also provide pet-sitting services and sensory play activities, such as creating Play-Doh and slime. Ensuring the safety of your pets and children is my utmost priority. Best regards, Blanca.

Blanca was great! She sent me photos to keep me updated, and deleted them on her end. She made the kids dinner, got them showered and kept them on schedule during a busy work night. Blanca was very professional and easy to communicate with. She’s also very friendly and flexible. I highly recommend her!

Based in Sac 📍 Travel often to the Bay Area Hello there my name is Alia! I am a 29 year old communications professional. My hobbies include reading, writing, practicing my Spanish, bike riding, soccer, arts and crafts, and finding new movies to watch! I have over 4 years experience of sitting ranging from 6 months- to age 17. I have no problem coming to you. My favorite part about babysitting is getting to spend time and have fun with the amazing children. I believe every child is unique and different and it’s so fun getting to know all of them and thinking of new activities. I develop close friendships with parents and children so that we become in a way one big family. I strongly prefer cash, Zelle or Venmo. I do charge for the entire time booked, even if you arrive home earlier than the agreed end time. LATE POLICY: If you think you are going to be late or would like to stay out later, please send me a text or phone call an hour beforehand. If not notified, an overtime charge will be applied to double the time you are late. CANCELLATION POLICY: No fee for cancellation up to 48 hours notice. Under 48 hours notice will be charged a 50% cancellation fee. Under 24 hour notice will be charged full fee.

She was great! She was great with 2 kids, and she was so helpful around the house. We’re looking forward to more opportunities to have her support us.
