Booked by 14 families in Napa, CA

Hi! My name is Megan, and I am currently looking for occasional/ part time babysitting or petsitting jobs while I take some gap years before graduate school. I've been babysitting for about 10 years now, but as the oldest sister I've been helping out with my siblings since I was young. I graduated from UCLA in 2023 with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Anthropology. I enjoy learning about health and medicine in the contexts of development and society. Some of my hobbies include drawing, yoga, and eating good food :) I’ve worked with children of different ages, ranging from babies to teenagers, though I have the most experience with babies and kids ages 2 - 5. I find caregiving to be a fun and rewarding job. While kids learn a lot from us, I find that we learn a lot from them as well. I value patience and respect, and these are qualities I show to the kids I work with. I look forward to working with you!

Hi, my name is Stephanie. I’m 18 years old and I’m about to start college. I have experience caring for children between the ages of 3–11 through helping take care of my younger siblings and occasionally babysitting for families. I enjoy spending time with kids and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and I always try to create a positive and fun environment for the children I’m looking after.

With 3+ years of childcare experience, I am all about having fun while being safe and comfortable! For the last 2 almost 3 years I have worked as a camp counselor. I love adventures, doing crafts and even playing fun games to keep the spirits high and mind learning. I am First Aid and CPR certified, as safety is my #1. I can offer light cleaning, running errands, homework help and love pets. I have my own car so rides are always available. Feel free to reach out if you need any additional information!
