Hi. my name is Jamie and I am currently looking for families that need a helping hand. I am offering childcare, senior care, dog walker or household assistance.

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Laura, and I am a proud mom of two grown children and a joyful young grandma with lots of energy and an active lifestyle. With a lifetime of hands-on experience raising children, I’m excited to share my love, care, and dedication with other families as a dependable and nurturing sitter. I bring warmth, patience, and genuine attentiveness to every child I care for. I’m kind, compassionate, and committed to creating a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children can thrive. Reliability is one of my strongest qualities—I’m never late and always arrive early to ensure a smooth transition for both you and your child. In addition, if drop-off or pick-up is needed, I have reliable transportation with a clean driving record, so you can rest assured that your child will be transported safely and on time. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind, knowing your child is in capable, caring hands. Taking care of children is not only my passion but also my true calling in life! *Fun Facts about Me* "I have run four half marathons in my lifetime."

Truckee
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 12 families in Nevada City, CA

I raised two wonderful humans to adulthood, and have been teaching high school English for 15 years while earning numerous awards and commendations. I also come trained as a first responder through 15 years of experience with Search and Rescue which includes certification as EMR (including First Aid, CPR, and AED for infants through adults) as well as numerous awards and commendations. I volunteered for 10 years in the youth program at my church (Calvary Chapel, Reno/Sparks), worked as the lead teacher of the school-age summer program at Little Knights and Maidens, led the youth program at my local library for many years, and led my own children through myriad sports and activities (soccer, dance, 4H, Scouts, etc). As my own children are recently off to college, I find myself with more time on my hands, and I would love to serve my community while making some extra tuition money for my own kids. Tutoring of course can be included in the services listed.
