I’m a responsible, patient, and attentive caregiver with hands-on experience babysitting children of different ages. I support homework, create safe routines, help with meals, light cleaning, and engage kids in positive activities. I’m calm under pressure, dependable, and deeply committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel supported and parents feel confident.
HII! My name is Ebany. I am 19 years old and currently a nursing student. I am open and available for a babysitting job. I gained experience working with younger and older children by working with my mom since I was 7 years old in her home daycare and from my most recent job working with a care provider company where I have been babysitting kids. I’m very gentle, patient, kind, and hardworking. I’m willing to care for any children of age. I would be more than happy to set up an interview so that way you can get to know me better , I look forward to caring for your young ones! Thank you!
Hello! My first name is Zyla Janine and I just graduated with my Bachelor’s of Health Science at Sacramento State last year. Aside from caretaking, I am also a barista. I care for children of all ages, seniors, and pets as well! I also offer household services. I am the eldest daughter of my immigrant family— have been caring for my younger family for as long as I can remember. It has always been natural for me since it is a responsibility I have always had. I would bring them to school and back from it, cook for them, tutoring, and clean or run errands whilst keeping an eye on them. I have done all of the same and more with my senior family as well. Not to mention, I was a CPR/AED certified lifeguard with several years experience. Additionally, I did three sports in high school: volleyball, basketball, and track & field. I went to sectionals for shotput and discus back then—and I am currently a 2x champion for the intramural volleyball league at the Sacramento State gym. If your child is interested in sports or education, I am glad to help! I was also a tutor at Kumon, an ELA and math extracurricular program that helped kids with their homework as well as activity problems we provided. I also helped my brother with ADHD with his homework growing up too. I have always been a high achiever in school until now—I was on the Dean’s Honor List for every semester I have been at Sac State! I have been around small caged animals most of my life, like guinea pigs and fish, but I love cats and dogs and would be open to work with them!
“She is very punctual, and we are looking forward to having her with us for our Dad's senior care. We are very pleased with how she interacted with our dad and how knowledgeable she is. ”
