Hi! My name is Sarah, I’m 24 years old and currently serving in the U.S. Army. I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages — especially babies and toddlers — and a true passion for helping families. I’m also currently working on my A.S. in Criminal Justice, which has made me even more focused on safety, responsibility, and integrity. 👶 Experience: • 2 years as an Au Pair (2[removed]) with the same family, caring for 3 children (2 months, 1.5 years, and 2.5 years old). • Worked with multiple families, caring for children from newborn to 6 years old. • Assisted with household tasks: laundry, cooking, light cleaning, and driving children to activities. • Excellent references available upon request. 🎨 About Me: • Calm, responsible, punctual, and proactive. • Energetic — love arts & crafts, painting, drawing, and outdoor activities. • Fluent in two languages and currently learning a third. • Very organized and always create a safe, clean, and positive environment. • Always eager to help and learn new things. • Have my own reliable car and safe driving record. • Love kids and truly enjoy building meaningful connections with them. 🐾 A Little More About Me: • Animal lover — I have two dogs of my own (a Siberian Husky and a German Shepherd). • Grew up on a farm and love all animals. • Experience caring for elderly family members, having grown up helping and looking after my grandparents. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, loving, hardworking nanny who will care for your children as if they were my own (and maybe even love your pets too!), send me a message. I’d love to connect and see if we’re the right fit! 💛
Hi, thanks for checking out my profile! I have 8+ years of nanny experience caring for little ones from newborns to early elementary age. Over the years, I've worked with multiple families long-term and some short term and have also been a traveling nanny so I've picked up plenty of tips and tricks to make life easier for both parents and kids. These days, I focus on occasional care think daytime fill-ins when your sitter calls in sick or daycare is closed, date nights, overnights, and even travel care. Really when you need an extra set of hands. Families appreciate not only the care I give to their children but also the peace of mind that comes from knowing their home and routines are in good hands too. I have a flexible schedule but like to plan ahead whenever possible. If you're looking for a reliable, experienced nanny you can count on for those in-between moments, I'd love to chat! Also I’m new to Urban Sitter but have reviews on care.com.
Hi! I’m Sholeh, a caring and dependable nanny with over 5 years of experience. Growing up with 4 siblings taught me to be responsible, patient, and adaptable. I love engaging kids in sports and active play, and I’m just as happy cooking healthy meals as I am helping with homework or story time. Families know me as reliable, loving, and committed to creating a safe, fun environment for children to grow.
Hello parents! My name is Angelina. I have had volunteer work with elementary age children since I myself was in elementary school. I have known I wanted to be a Teacher since I was young! I love working with kids. Their honesty and how they always want to have fun in many spontaneous ways are aspects I learn from every time I am working with them. For each child, I strive to discover their interests and passions and create activities based on them they would enjoy! I have 4 Associates Degrees from CRC! Due to my 4 degrees, I have had more than 40 units relating to children including many ECE course units. I have volunteered in a first grade classroom at me old elementary school since I was in 5th grade. I have immense experience with elementary school children since I have had many experiences at various schools in the Sacramento/Elk Grove region. I was a yard duty and an after school teacher at my old elementary school as well for almost a year and a paraeducator at various elementary schools. Overall working with children has been my passion since I was a young child myself. Recently I have expanded my passion for working with children and teaching to include middle and high school students as well. I have felt a passion growing these past few years for working with this age group! However I still enjoy the working with the younger elementary kids! :) for the past years, I have taught seventh graders at my church (Sunday School). I graduated CSUS this past spring with a major in Liberal Studies and a minor in History. My goal is to be a middle/high school History teacher! I am currently in the CSUS Single Subject Teaching Credential Program until May 2019. Overall, it would be a joy to work with you to provide superb babysitting experience for your children. Thank you for reading all about my background and I look forward to hearing from you! :) *Note: I am flexible with pricing! :)
Hi! My name is Sophia. I am a Criminal Intelligence Analyst and UC Davis graduate (BA in International Relations, double minor in Human Rights & Communications) with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for, mentoring, and teaching youth of all ages. My background in intelligence analysis means safety, attention to detail, clear communication, and quick, practical thinking are second nature to me. Parents can rest easy knowing their kids are in attentive, responsible, and capable hands. Experience & Background I have worked in childcare since age 12, caring for children ages 1 to 17: -10+ Years Babysitting & Nannying: Experienced with all routines, including healthy meal prep, bath time, transport, engaging play, and bedtime. -STEM Program Coordinator & After-School Instructor: Managed energetic classrooms, keeping kids engaged through hands-on learning, teamwork, and patience. -Camp Counselor (6 Years): Led active daily programs for kids ages 4–12. -Youth Mentor & Tutor (3 Years): Provided academic support and mentorship to refugee youth ages 8–17 in Sacramento. -Pet-Friendly: Raised dogs my whole life and spent years as a shelter canine handler, so I love helping with furry family members! Personality & Style I bring a vibrant, bubbly energy alongside a calm, patient temperament. Whether we’re tackling homework, working on a creative project, or enjoying active outdoor fun, I love supporting children’s personal and academic growth. My approach pairs warm encouragement with clear, respectful boundaries so kids feel safe, happy, and well-behaved. Key Skills -Academic Support: K–12 homework help, reading, and STEM tutoring -Languages: Native English speaker with full professional proficiency in Spanish -Household Help: Nutritious meal prep, light cleanup, and pet care I view caring for kids as a privilege and bring reliability, warmth, and peace of mind to every home. I look forward to meeting your family!
