Booked by 3 families in Vacaville, CA

Hi my name is Cindy! I just graduated from UCSB with my bachelor’s degree in Psychological Brain Sciences. I’m currently taking a gap year before applying to grad school. I love babysitting! I’m very responsible and great at creating safe and fun environments for children. I’ve worked at Anna Kyle Elementary school as a noon duty where I supervised kids from kindergarten to fifth grade. I have also babysat for many families of infants and toddlers for since I was 15 years old. I’ve recently worked as a research assistant at an Autism center where I worked with children on the spectrum from ages 4-7 providing skills to build communication and social skills.

“Cindy was so incredibly sweet! She loved our kiddo and he loved her too! Cindy followed our instructions and did very well. We plan to use her again!”

Booked by 14 families in Vacaville, 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!

Virginia $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a passionate and fun mom and grandma. I have cared for my grandchildren (now 11, 8, and 3) since they were born. I have a Master's in Social Work and have had a long career in child welfare (foster care and adoption), helping nurture children's physical, emotional and psychological needs. I also worked in an elementary school providing health care back-up, office assistance, and classroom help. I have always been an animal lover. I have had dogs and cats and have provided care for pets, both occasionally and for long periods when their owners were on vacation. I am comfortable feeding, playing, walking, and administering meds. I would also love to provide companionship for seniors and am genuinely interested in their stories and unique points of view. I have a car and can provide reliable and safe transportation.
