I have 9 siblings, and a total of 28 niece's and nephews all of which I have cared for. I am fully covid vaccinated, including boostered. I am happy to provide proof at your request. Being that I am a full time Mom and also full time employed, I'm currently only looking for occasional jobs ( such as but not limited to: date nights, errand runs, meetings, work events, last minute sitter, weekends, after school care etc). I enjoy meeting new families and absolutely love children. I have over 30 yrs of child care experience! I'm a PTA Mom and I volunteer at my children's school whenever possible. I am comfortable with children of all ages including newborns and Preteens. I will always respect your wishes and will do my best to follow your routine. I enjoy outdoor activities, board games, building blocks/legos/puzzles, play dough, movies and arts & crafts. I consider myself a "go getter". I am very passionate about the time I spend caring for the children I babysit. Hotel Stays, Airbnb's, No problem! I will make the best out of every situation.. (I am also able provide services for group events where multiple sitters are requested as I have several sitter friends if multiple sitters needed). ** I am willing to travel up to 45 miles for an additional fee. ** I am punctual, reliable, easy going, patient, openminded and friendly. -Athena

“Athena was a delight to work with! We were in town for a wedding and needed help watching our kids at our hotel. I was a little nervous about it since it was a small hotel room but Athena was a pro! She quickly connected with my kids and put them at ease. She brought some fun toys and games that engaged the kids and they had a blast. Highly recommend!”

Booked by 1 family in Castroville, CA

I am a responsible and dependable college student at California State University, Monterey Bay, studying psychology with a strong interest in child development and education. I have experience working with children through volunteering and classroom settings, and I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where kids can learn and have fun. Families describe me as patient, caring, organized, and reliable. I am comfortable helping with homework, supervising activities, preparing simple meals, and assisting with light household tasks. In addition to childcare, I have extensive experience caring for animals. I grew up around dogs, cats, chickens, and horses, so I am comfortable with pet sitting, feeding, exercising, and providing attentive care for a variety of pets. I also love to do arts and crafts, sing, dance, watch movies, bake, and learn new hobbies with kiddos!!

Booked by 95 families in Castroville, CA

Hello my name is Laura. I have been babysitting ever since I was in middle school and through out college (19). I am an only child, so never had siblings to play on my own. I have always treated the children in my care as if they were my own family. My education background is a B.S in child development and a minor in psychology from Cal Poly SLO and a AA degree from MPC in Child Development. Personally I love taking care of children because it is so much making crafts with them and seeing how they see the world in their eyes.

Booked by 1 family in Castroville, CA

Hi! My name is Olivia and I am currently a full-time graduate student at California State University, Monterey Bay, studying Speech-Language Pathology with the goal of being a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist for children with special needs. I am CPR-BLS certified and can provide you with my certificate! I have worked with children ranging from infants to teenagers for almost a decade! In the past five years, I have worked as a lead teacher for after-school group care at elementary schools throughout San Luis Obispo, and most recently as an assistant teacher at a special-needs preschool with children ages 2-5. Currently as I’m in school, I’ve been doing several babysitting jobs on the weekends through an agency that has a partnership with hotels in the area. Additionally, I have experience and a deep passion towards caring for children with special needs, including but not limited to the autism spectrum, Down syndrome, and other behavioral needs, as well as familiarity with children using augmentative and alternative communication devices (AAC). I strongly believe that every child deserves nothing less than top notch care and advocacy for their unique needs. I’m also a huge supporter of creativity and the arts! I received my bachelor’s degree in 2024 from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo in Studio Arts (painting and drawing), and have taught various art camps and classes for kids ages 3-14 including painting, ceramics, papier-mâché, and more. I’m a pet lover and have two dogs of my own! I’m happy to help with feeding, walking, playing, or just keeping them company. I understand that your children are your greatest gift, and thank you so much for trusting me with that care. I look forward to meeting you!

“Olivia was wonderful! We were staying at Carmel valley ranch and she came over to watch two of our kids. ”
