Hi, my name is Meriyah! I currently attend Sacramento City College, where I’m completing my prerequisites to pursue a nursing career. I’m the oldest of five kids and have years of hands-on childcare experience caring for my siblings from infancy through their current ages 6-12, including twins. I’m nurturing, patient, dependable, and a natural leader who creates a safe, loving, and fun environment. Growing up, I learned responsibility early through helping guide my younger siblings with daily routines, play, and care. I’m also a devoted pet owner to a senior German Shepherd and a young teacup Yorkie, so I’m very comfortable caring for both children and pets while supporting busy households. Thanks so much for considering me!
“Ms Meriyah G. was very friendly, warm, and personable. She took excellent care of my little one. My child expressed desire to have her back again as a sitter. She went out of her way to make my child feel special with a personalized activity. ”
Hi, My name is Lily and I’m currently a freshman at CRC. I’m offering reliable and caring childcare and household services. I love working with children and I have several years of babysitting experience in taking care of newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I’m comfortable preparing meals, keeping children entertained, helping with routines, and making sure their space stays clean and organized. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks such as cleaning, organizing, and other everyday responsibilities. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and positive environment for your children while giving parents peace of mind.
I am a Kindergarten teacher in the Seattle area! Through my position, I have a clear background check. I am creative when it comes to keeping kids busy and engaged! I also pride myself in keeping a clean house and classroom, so I can help with cleaning as well. Cat care available as well!
Reliable and caring pet sitter who enjoys spending time with animals. Available for walks, visits, and general care to help keep routines steady.
I’m a responsible, dependable, and caring person who enjoys working with kids and helping families when they need an extra hand. I recently started babysitting more regularly and have experience caring for young and school-aged children. I’m comfortable keeping kids entertained, preparing simple meals and snacks, helping with routines, and making sure they’re safe and well cared for while their parents are away. I’m patient, attentive, and easygoing, but I also understand the importance of following the routines and expectations parents have for their children. I’m happy to help with light cleanup related to the kids and I’m also comfortable around pets. I have a dog of my own, so pets in the home are never an issue for me. I work full-time during the week, so I’m primarily looking to help families with occasional babysitting, evenings, weekends, date nights, or other times when an extra set of hands is needed. I’m reliable, communicative, and want parents to feel comfortable knowing their kids are in good hands while they’re away.
