Hey there! My name is Tori. I’ve been working with kids through youth sports programs and babysitting on and off for the last ten years. Currently I ski coach in the winter and nanny m-f 7:30-3:30 in Tahoe city. I am looking for child care opportunities for the off season and beyond. I am cpr certified and have taken courses on education and human development. I have experience with all ages I’ve had my husky the last 9 years and can handle dogs of all activity levels. What ever your pet care needs are I can handle. For your home garden, I can troubleshoot and solve any and all of your irrigation needs or issues. I can also help with whatever else your household needs.
“Tori was great! She’s friendly and warm and connected with our kids immediately. She managed dinner/play/bedtime for 4 kids between ages 4-8 from two families, and they all loved her! We’ll definitely work with her again! ”

Hello families! 😊 I’m a dedicated professional child caregiver with over 7 years of experience helping children thrive from infancy through early childhood. My approach combines an engaging, playful environment with a strong foundation in early childhood education—helping little ones build confidence, master key developmental milestones, and learn healthy emotional skills. Key Qualifications & Experience: • CPR & First Aid Certified • Multiple Early Childhood Development Certifications • Specialized in milestone tracking, screen-free learning, and positive boundaries I love keeping kids active through outdoor adventures, creative arts, storytime, and hands-on learning. I focus on creating a supportive, structured space where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to explore. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with light household management, meal prep, house sitting, and pet care. I pride myself on being reliable, punctual, and easy to communicate with. I look forward to connecting with your family!
Hi! My name is Simona; I’m from Argentina, but currently living in Tahoe on a J-1 visa. I work as a ski instructor, which has helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and clear communication especially with children. I’m a responsible, caring, and friendly babysitter who truly enjoys spending time with kids. I have experience caring for kids of different ages and always focus on creating a safe, calm, and fun environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and comfortable. I’d love the opportunity to help your family and be someone you can count on! ❤️
Hi! I'm Julia! I am available for date night and other occasional babysitting. I work at Northstar as a supervisor in the Ski & Ride School during the winter and as a mountain bike coach in the Bike Park during the summer. I love working with kids of all ages! In total, I have 20 years of experience working with children including babysitting, substitute teaching, camp counseling, outdoor education, ski instructing, and mountain bike coaching. I am also an animal lover and am happy to work with families that have pets! My top priority is safety, whether it’s on a mountain bike trail or in the comfort of home. I also enjoy story time, silly kid jokes, and exploring outside!
