Hello, my name is Abigail Ortega. I am currently majoring in Psychology and minoring in Public Health here at UC Davis. I am aspiring to become a Health Psychologist. In terms of my babysitting experience, I grew up as the 4th eldest in a family of 11 children, so I grew up caring for my siblings. I spent a year and a half working for Child Care Careers in which I worked in preschools, daycares, and after school care as a substitute teacher. That being so, I am experienced in all age groups as well as caring for multiple children at a time. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to meeting you all!

Tiffany is every family’s dream nanny. So flexible. Most importantly, my baby was so comfortable around her. She watched my baby from 5 months to 1 year and quickly became family. The only reason I’m not working with Tiffany now is because we moved.

Hello, my name is Bri. I love being a caregiver to children simply because I adore them! I grew up with five siblings so I was always around kids. I'm very motherly and nurturing and always find joy being with children. For the last ten years, I've been professional babysitting for friends and other families. I have experience babysitting all ages - from newborn to young teen. I believe it's important to connect and engage with the children on their level, but also make it fun by doing activities they love. I enjoy going for walks, doing arts and crafts, watching movies, playing toys with them, or whatever else the child has interest in and the parent(s) allow. While I am not fluent in sign language, I know the basic signs that can be taught to a baby/toddler to help ease their frustration of not being able to talk. I've done this with the little girl I currently watch and it has been a tremendous help in knowing what she wants/needs. I am able to provide references upon request! :)

Alanna helped save the day with my last minute request for a sitter New Year’s Eve during our dinner party. She responded promptly, made herself available for a phone call same day. Interviewed very well and was open and flexible with our needs that night. She helped us care for my two children and a group of 4 kids along side our nanny. She communicated well, offered to help with anything we needed that night and stayed late. She has sense helped several days even bringing activities for my girls. She had a great attitude and overall kind and great with kids. I will be booking her to fill in for our nanny going forward. We are very fortunate to have found her so last minute.

Hi! I'm from Bakersfield and have several years of babysitting experience, along with helping care for my younger siblings as they've grown up. Working with kids has taught me how to be patient, responsible, and creative, whether we're playing games, helping with homework, making meals, or sticking to a daily routine. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and enjoy creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I take pride in being dependable and bringing a positive attitude to every family I work with, and I'd love the opportunity to support your family's needs.

Hi! my name is Kobi and I would be an amazing nanny for your child because I bring over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for children as a nanny, along with a professional background as a CNA working in the hospital with postpartum mothers and newborns. My years of nannying have given me a deep understanding of children’s developmental needs, from creating fun, educational activities to nurturing their emotional growth. My time in the hospital has strengthened my skills in newborn care, safety, and supporting families during those early, delicate stages. I’m passionate about creating a loving and secure environment, and I take pride in being dependable, patient, and attentive, ensuring your child is cared for as if she were my own! Please let me know if you still need a nanny, my hours are super flexible! :)
