"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Acacia $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lockeford, CA
Hello! My name is Acacia and I’m CPR certified! I’m currently a college student. I’m attending Los Medanos College in the Fall and I’m majoring in Early Childhood Education because I’m pursuing a career in kindergarten teaching. I’m trying to gain experience for my future career as well as save up money for school! I love watching children, they tend to like me a lot due to my bright pink hair (haha) and since I’m younger than most people, I can keep up with the chaotic energy of children! My responsibilities included facilitating age-appropriate activities for children between the ages of 1-10 while maintaining safety, communicating effectively with parents, and providing information on daily activities and addressing any concerns promptly. I also have experience in working with cats, I have 3 cats of my own that I take care of when I’m not in school so I can watch cats. I have experience working with dogs, I have walked around ~7 dogs before all ranging in different sizes!
Gianna $23 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Gianna, and I’m a student at Sac City College offering childcare and household help. I enjoy watching kids and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them. I’m patient, responsible, and always attentive to children’s needs. I also love dogs and am happy to work with families who have pets. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!
