Yesenia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My preferred name is Sam. I have been caring for children since I was 8, when my beautiful nieces and nephews were born. Growing up, I'd help my sister care for her little ones, and naturally, I loved being around them. As I got older, I started occasionally caring for kids in my neighborhood. I became a full-time nanny during the pandemic for a 5-year-old boy. And I am currently a part-time nanny for a 2-month-old baby girl. I am CPR certified. I love animals! I dog-sit when folks are out of town. I'm always happy to help meal prep and help with things around the house. And if you'd like someone to teach your little one Spanish, I'm your girl! I have a calm and warm spirit. And I love tapping into my inner child when it comes to playing with the kids. My major hobbies include songwriting, drawing, and photography. I also love to play guitar, read, and spend time with my pup on my free time. I am currently interested in families looking for a part-time, occasional, date night, or overnight sitter.

Hi! I’m Sophie. I am originally from Utah but moved here about 3 months ago. I graduated in Sociology and I am working on a Master’s Degree in school counseling. I am looking for occasional babysitting jobs and would love to find a family to babysit with on a regular basis. I have done Stop The Bleed and CPR training within about the last year and I nannied 3 children under 7 for a summer 3 days a week. I also teach a class of about six 7-8 year students olds once a week and have nieces and nephews I babysit occasionally. I have a flexible schedule in the hours outside of my normal job (a 9-5 M-TH) and I am happy to help with whatever including cleaning, cooking, laundry, prepping lunches, etc. I love doing fun activities like crafts, baking, or being outside. I grew up playing tennis and softball but am enjoying playing pickleball and doing yoga these days.

“We had a wonderful experience with Sophie. She was caring, responsible, punctual, followed instructions well, and was attentive to our 17 month old’s needs. Our son is usually slow to warm to people, but was immediately comfortable with Sophie. We would definitely recommend her to other families and would happily have her babysit again!”
