I used to work as a certified parent educator/Facilitator for about 5 years. I work with Sacramento First Five and I raised 2 kids that speak 3 languages and excel in life. I firmly believed kids are here ro teach us and we must learn from them before we can intent teaching them. Each child is born with unique abilities and characteristics and personality traits that provide us all the information we need to help a child reach their full potential. To guide/coach a child you must know him/her first. I have experience house sitting mid size homes and large estates short and long term. I believe it’s essential for families to have peace of mind that their home will be running fine when they are away. I take care of contacting maintenance personnel if needed, manage house cleaning staff, take care of dry cleaners, make sure pantry and basic items are ready and available when the family returns. I can do airport pick up and drop off. I have work in ranch homes with horses and I make sure that runs properly as well. I love dogs and cats, have a small dog at home and I believe our pets choose us their purpose is to complete us. At 50 years old I have learn a thing or two about life, my approach to everything I do is to come from contrition and connection. I learned not to meek my purpose in life when the purpose is to live a meaningful life and create deep connections a long the journey. I am bilingual English and Spanish, the modern family dynamic nowadays is multicultural families and I can adjust and understand each family has different and specific needs.
I am a a current Medical Assistant in training that had learned all of the basics such as checking vitals, CPR, etc! I’ve grew up taking care of children and proceeded to work in daycare at the age of 16! I have experience with children all ages with all different backgrounds. I’m willing and determined to help people in need with a strong sense of urgency.
I have been babysitting for a decade, and have been working in childcare businesses for 6 years. I have been pet sitting for 5 years. I love working with children, and animals.
Hi my name is Gabriela, I’m currently in school and in my third year at Sacramento State! I'm studying Communication Sciences and Disorders to hopefully become a Pediatric Speech Therapist/Audiologist. I have always loved working with kids! My mom has been a babysitter for 15+ years and I've gained everything I know from her as she is the best babysitter ever! I've worked in a couple places with kids such as helping with date nights, working consistently with families, and at the daycare at the Sac State Campus. There I would work with all different age groups such as 8-month-olds all the way to 4-year-olds. I would mostly spend my time in the classroom with the 8mo-2-year-olds and I loved it so much! I got to create engaging activities for the kids to expand their mental capabilities and I also free d them and changed their diapers. I am a very quick learner and am very open minded. My schedule is very flexible on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at the moment due to school but I'd be willing to help any family in need of a babysitter!
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!
