Hi, my name is Riley! I am 20 years old and a nursing student at Chico State in hopes of becoming a NICU or pediatric nurse. I am seeking a part time/occasional babysitting job to save some money and gain skills working with infants/children. I am very responsible, diligent and safety is my main priority. I am certified in CPR and BLS for infants, children, and adults and I can provide reliable transportation. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children and I am committed to providing the best possible care and helping in any way I can. Some of my experience includes babysitting a client’s 9 month old baby girl for 8 months, babysitting my cousin’s 5 month old baby girl, helping care for and entertain my 6 year old cousin occasionally since she was an infant, as well as having two younger brothers I helped care for as they grew up. All of which have included diaper changes, feeding, enrichment/entertainment, nap time, some household duties, and transportation if needed. I am looking forward to connecting with families and I am open to answer any questions you may have!

Hi! 💗 I’m a college student at Chico State studying Child Development, and I’ve always loved being around kids! 📄 I have experience caring for and working with children ages 2-17, so I’m comfortable with a variety of ages and personalities! 🎨 I love playing games, spending time outside, or just finding fun ways to keep kids entertained. I’m also happy to help with homework, meals, and bedtime routines! 🌱 I’m patient, caring, and responsible, and my biggest priority is making sure your little ones feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. 🐾 I’m also a dog and cat owner, so pets in the home are no problem! 📍I’m currently looking for babysitting opportunities around Chico that work with my school schedule. Feel free to message me with any questions! I’d love to get to know your family! :)

Hi! My name is Ella, and I truly enjoy working with children and supporting families. I have several years of babysitting experience with kids of all ages and take pride in being dependable, patient, and caring. I’m currently a Pre-Physician Assistant student at California State University, Chico, and recently completed my Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) program. My healthcare education has strengthened my knowledge of safety, communication, and caring for others, which I bring into every childcare role. I previously worked at a workout studio where I helped manage the childcare area, giving me hands-on experience keeping children engaged and safe in a busy environment. I’ve also coached young children through Little Kickers, nannied, and babysat for families with children of various ages. In addition to childcare, I’m familiar with driving responsibilities and have safely transported children to and from school, activities, and appointments. I’ve also done pet sitting and am comfortable caring for animals alongside childcare responsibilities. I’m happy to help with homework, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and anything else that helps your day run more smoothly. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can help!

Hi! My name is Atlanta Beymer, and I am a first year Psychology student here at Chico State. Before moving here, I worked at a Children's Center from November 2025-August 2026. I was originally hired as the co-infant teacher, but got promoted to the lead Pre-K Teacher. Before that, I was a co-teacher at Bulldogs Play Center program available for High School Students interested in ECP for 2 years, in which I taught ages 2-5. At both these establishments, I not only focused on ensuring that each and every child's needs were met, but also that we reached our developmental and curriculum goals. I have my Adult, Child, and Infant CPR Certification, Food Safety and Handling Certification, as well as 6 ECE Credits. Some of my favorite activities to do with children include painting, dramatic play, science experiments, and teaching them about math! I have 3 family dogs, and I currently have my own guinea pig named Theodore! I love working with animals as well, and have experience with dogs, cats, turtles, and guinea pigs.

I love being a sitter because it allows me to utilize my creativity and exercise my caring nature. My experience starts with babysitting my siblings and family friends, and I was in a program in high school that allowed me to help in various classrooms for two years. From that program I worked in a preschool over the summer and recently worked at a daycare for about 5 months. I’m CPR + First Aid certified and have experience with children and infants of various ages. I’m skilled at creating a fun environment that creatively enriches children. I can also prepare meals and change diapers. I look forward to supporting your family in any way that I can!

Working with children is my passion, and nothing is more rewarding to me than fostering a safe, encouraging, and engaging environment where kids can learn and grow. Whether we are diving into a fun creative project, reading stories, or exploring active outdoor games, I love seeing children discover new interests, build confidence, and develop positive social skills. I have several years experience working with children. This summer I was a Summer Camp Director where I planned and implemented daily activity schedules for groups of children of ages 5-10, managed safety and behavior expectations, and effectively resolved conflicts. I just completed my student teaching where I taught first-grade classrooms, leading whole-group, small-group, and one-on-one activities in reading, phonics, and math and supported diverse learning needs and maintained positive, structured classroom routines. I have also worked with grades K-12 in a substituting capacity. Through service learning experiences I have completed over 130 hours of hands-on classroom service learning focused on early childhood literacy and reading comprehension. I have my Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Studies with an Elementary Teaching Credential. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I have strong skills in supporting early childhood literacy and phonics instruction, group management and conflict resolution, behavior management, curriculum support, active listening, and emotional intelligence.
