Booked by 20 families in Rancho Cordova, CA

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.

Sarah Rancho Cordova
$25 per hour for 1 child

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! 💛

Elena Arden-Arcade
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! I am Elena, an outgoing and friendly undergrad college student currently attending Sac State!🐝 I'm studying to become a mental health clinician at either elementary or middle school, so working with children is something I'm in the long-run for! I'm the eldest to three younger siblings (aged 10 months, 9, and 18) and care for several cats, dogs, and lizards in my home! I have three years of working with children under my belt as an after school program leader to first through sixth graders. I am CPR/AED certified. I am also currently working at Village Montessori in Carmichael caring for preschoolers from 18 months to TK. From these experiences, I am prepared to watch over children at any stage of development! I am flexible to the needs of each family, and I would love to meet yours!

Liliya Rancho Cordova
$25 per hour for 1 child

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.
