Booked by 1 family in Washoe Valley, NV

Hi my name is Sheri, I love children of all ages, having raised two of my own, I also had the privilege to care for my newborn grandson until he was two years old and started preschool. I have been lovingly caring for children for many years and started as a teenager. Most recently I worked as a senior caregiver, finding it most rewarding. I also love animals having had dogs and currently two cats.

Simona $24 per hour for 1 child

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! ❤️
