Hi! My name is Mary, and I have a lot of hands on experience caring for kids of all ages. I grew up with four younger siblings, so I’ve been helping take care of children my whole life. I’ve also been babysitting since I was 12, which has given me years of experience with both younger kids and older kids. I’ve worked as an aquatic camp youth instructor for 2 years now, where I was responsible for supervising children, keeping them safe, and making activities fun and engaging. I’m currently a part time nanny for a 22 month old boy, so I’m very comfortable with toddlers, routines, meals, playtime, and naps. I enjoy doing activities with kids like playing games, arts and crafts, going outside, reading, baking, cooking, and helping with homework when needed. I’m also happy to help with tutoring, basic cooking, and keeping kids on a routine. In addition to childcare, I love animals and have experience with pet sitting and house sitting. I’m comfortable caring for different pets and helping with walking, feeding, and playtime. I’m also more than willing to help around the house with cleaning, organizing, laundry, or running errands, anything that helps make your day easier! I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy helping families feel supported and at ease.
Hi I'm Felicia, I am offering senior care, child care, household care, small dog and cat care. I have multiple years of experience caregiving and managing households working as a home health aide specializing in senior care. I am comfortable cooking meals, distributing meds, cleaning, running errands and any of your other household needs. I have plently of experience with child care, mostly toddlers and above. I am happy to work on projects, have play time, go the park, do arts and crafts, read or work on homework with your little. Lastly I am offering cat and small dog care. I have a French bulldog myself and grew up with cats. I am comfortable changing litter boxes, taking your pets on walks feeding them and giving them any attention they may need.
I’m excited to be a part of this family, not only as I a nanny, I also have years of experience as a home manager and family assistant. I have a strong background in household management, time management, crisis control and the ability to adapt to any situation I really enjoy the unpredictable role of nanny/house manager. Through my years I have developed excellent organizational and multitasking skills, allowing me to effectively manage household operations, coordinate schedules, run errands and provide administrative and personal support whenever and wherever needed. I take pride in anticipating and planning for the unexpected while solving problems proactively and creating an organized, welcoming environment for your family. Raise in a home in what is now referred to as “Farm to Table” I enjoy using fresh produce, local if possible, in all my meals. Love for cooking became my hobby when our 5 children were small. All my meals can be adapted to dietary concerns and/or those fussy eaters. Based on your needs I could budget/plan, prep or have meals ready to just reheat when you arrive. Just let me know if your needs. Additionally, I worked in the local elementary, Junior High and Sierra College therefore any student concerns I’m sure I can address and have skills to adapt to most academic levels and disciplinary concerns. I also know ASL, a little rusty however with more practice I’m sure that skill will come back quickly. Time management is key and not only will the household tasks and errands be completed in a timely manner., I’m an old school mom, I craft, sew, iron and capable of most household fixes. Understanding the dread of walking into a home where there is a list of tasks and errands awaiting and children to feed, I welcome the opportunity to bring my dedication, strong work ethic and commitment to exceptional service to your family
Hi, I’m Cadence! I’m a college student majoring in childhood education and I’m also a vocalist. I’ve been babysitting for about 8 years, and I really enjoy spending time with kids and helping out families who need an extra hand. I’ve worked with all ages, from toddlers to older kids, and I’m comfortable handling different routines and personalities. People usually describe me as patient, dependable, and fun to be around. I like to keep kids busy with games, crafts, and music sometimes we’ll sing together or make up little songs just for fun. I can also help with things like homework, meals, and bedtime if needed. I take safety seriously and always make sure both kids and parents feel comfortable. Babysitting has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I’d love to get to know your family! I’m looking for full time/ part time positions as well as once in a while jobs.
I have worked as a teachers aid for 10 years in general ed as well as special ed classes. Ages vary from pre k to 3rd grade. I looked after my mother and father as they aged. I enjoy the company of older adults. I have had dogs and cats most of my life and adore all animals.
