Booked by 1 family in Truckee, CA

Hi, my name is Nidia. I’m offering my services as a sitter for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, dogs, and even house sitting. I have years of experience caring for children of all ages, having worked as a sitter while attending school to help pay for my education. In addition, I volunteered for several years in church for Sunday school, caring for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. I’m a mother to a 23-year-old and currently furthering my education online. For the past 19 years, I’ve worked as a medical assistant, including over eight years of experience caring for pediatric patients. My goal is to be a trustworthy resource for parents and a fun, responsible caregiver for your children, pets, and home. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m bilingual in English and Spanish.

Booked by 1 family in Truckee, CA

Hi there! :) My name is Maddie, I’m currently completing my nursing pre requisites online and am about to get my CNA license. I work part time at a coffee shop and am looking to fill my evenings during the weekdays, and I’m available all day Sundays and Mondays! I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I absolutely love working with kids, I have a younger brother who I’m inseparable with and grew up with lots of younger cousins. I’ve been babysitting on the side since I was 15 and have gained valuable experience with the 3-10y/o age range. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school or extracurriculars, tutoring, preparing meals, and arts and crafts. I also work as a household assistant and can clean, take dogs on walks, and run errands. I love all animals and would gladly housesit for a family with pets 🐾
