Hi, my name is Sandra. I am a kind, loving mother of three with a warm, patient heart. I have hands-on experience caring for children, cooking, cleaning, and organizing, and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and happy home environment for families.
Hi. My name is Claudia. I am mostly available Friday nights and weekends but can do some occasional weekdays. Currently available most days during the summer! I have been working with children for 11 years. I can also provide references. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I love pets! I do not have any allergies to dogs or cats so yay! I’m comfortable walking dogs of all sizes. I have 2 small dogs and 2 big German Shepherds at home.
I am a mother of two daughters, ages 22, and 13, and my years of parenting have helped me develop excellent communication, problem-solving, organizational, and time-management skills. I am responsible, trustworthy, dependable, and attentive to individual needs. Whether caring for children, pets, or assisting families, I am committed to providing reliable support with patience, kindness, and compassion. In addition to my experience as a mother, I have volunteered and worked at an animal shelter, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their unique needs. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to connect with both people and animals, creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment. I take pride in my strong sense of responsibility and dedication to providing attentive, high-quality care. My goal is always to give families peace of mind, knowing their loved ones and pets are receiving the highest level of care, attention, and respect.
Hi there! I’m Renn, a caring and reliable sitter with 10+ years of experience working with children of all ages. I have worked in an elementary school setting for the past 5+ years, with children that have learning differences. Over the years, I have been asked by multiple parents of the students I work with to babysit, pet sit, and house sit and can provide amazing references. I love engaging kids in fun activities, whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor play, or reading stories. I’m also happy to help with homework or prepare simple meals. I am a very creative and active person. In my free time, I embroider by hand, make jewelry, rock climb, hike, and swim. I also love playing chess! With the school year approaching, I am ideally looking for a family who needs a little extra help. I have a reliable vehicle and am happy to facilitate rides if needed. Looking forward to meeting you and your little one(s)!
I am a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with over two years of professional experience working in private homes, state facilities, and hospital settings, including Kaiser Permanente. My background spans caring for children of various ages and needs, with a strong emphasis on safety, emotional support, and enrichment. Internationally, I have participated in mission and mentorship programs throughout the Philippines and Thailand, supporting underserved and at-risk children through education, structured activities, and positive guidance. I have supervised classrooms of up to seven children at a time, led mentorship programs for troubled youth, and organized community initiatives such as beach cleanups and educational surf programs that encouraged both discipline and joy. In addition to my caregiving experience, I am currently a holistic chef working with a luxury hotel, where I specialize in creating mindful, nourishing snacks and developing healthy eating habits for children, including those who are selective or hesitant eaters. I enjoy making daily routines fun, engaging, and meaningful while fostering curiosity, confidence, and healthy habits. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth in a way that feels safe, exciting, and nurturing, and I truly value opportunities where I can make a positive impact in a child’s life.
