Hello! My name is Mayzin, and I’m currently applying to medical school. With plenty of free time on my hands, I’m excited to help families with their childcare needs. During my time at UC Berkeley, I gained valuable babysitting experience with families in a variety of situations—whether as part of a semi-long-term arrangement or providing occasional date-night coverage for parents. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer and tennis, exploring my artistic side through piano, and even singing along (though I’ll let the kids decide how good I am at it!). I’d love to share these experiences with your children while doing my best to make your day a little easier. I’m happy to help with tutoring, homework, or even light household tasks. Being flexible and adaptable, I’m here to provide the support you need. I look forward to meeting you and your family! I’m based in the Bay Area, but am often in the Elk Grove region as well. My schedule is flexible and accommodating.

Hello, I am Belle! I am a professional Special EducationTeacher. I have several Associate degrees and a dual BS at Grand Canyon University for Early Childhood Education and Early Childhood Special Education. I am in the midst of my MAE program through Alliant International University. I would love to find a PT position caring for and/or teaching children. I am open to being considered for backup care. I can also cook and perform light housekeeping duties for the children. I need to update my CPR, AED, and 1st Aid certification for infants, children, and adults. My vaccinations are current and I also have excellent references and reviews. Currently, I am an Education Specialist for a school district around the Sacramento area, but I do live in Idaho and go home on every school break/holiday. I am here to be close by my 93 year old grandmother. I will be staying in California indefinitely, but again I do go home on school breaks. I have over 34 years of experience taking care of (nanny/governess/babysitter), teaching, tutoring, and working with children. I have taught and/or worked with infants through high schoolers and adults with disabilities. I have experience with special needs/disabilities, special diets, multiples, and mixed ages.I started my professional career as an Early Childhood Educator in 1991. I have taught in Head Start programs, private faith-based preschool and Kindergarten programs, as well as corporate preschools, Sunday School programs, public schools, and private homes. I am available for after-school tutoring and I charge a higher fee than my babysitter/nanny rate. I give a military, single parent, and civil servant discount. I am honest, kind, loyal, loving, highly communicative, ethical, responsible, and thoughtful.I am an attachment style caregiver. I am happy to interact with your children as you wish so long as it does not violate the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct for Early Childhood Professionals. I thank you for your consideration and time in reviewing my profile. I look forward to hearing from you and wish you all the best as you try to find the right caregiver for your family. :-) *Please note that I request a five hour minimum for babysitting and last minute cancellations (less than 48hrs) are subject to the five hour minimum. Thank you. Belle

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I truly love being a sitter because I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. There’s something so special about being part of a child’s growth — whether that’s helping with homework, encouraging creativity, or simply being someone they can laugh and feel safe with. I have experience caring for children of various ages and am comfortable managing routines, preparing meals, helping with schoolwork, organizing engaging activities, and maintaining bedtime schedules. I understand how important consistency and patience are, and I always strive to support the parenting style and expectations of each family I work with. I bring strong communication skills, reliability, and a calm, attentive presence. Safety is always my top priority, and I’m organized, dependable, and able to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. My goal is to make both children and parents feel confident, supported, and at ease. I would love the opportunity to be someone your family can trust and rely on!

Hi my name is Dulce but I go by Abi, I have always been drawn to working with children, right out of high school I worked at a preschool, not knowing it was caring after special needs children, although it was a surprise and a learning experience I fell in love with it which then led me to working as a Paraprofessional at a school District for the next 4 yrs. I moved over to Sacramento 9 yrs ago and worked as an ABA for children on the spectrum after that I was fortunate to have found my family I currently nanny for, I have been with them for the past 6 yrs and care after their 3 boys( under 7). Throughout the years I have learned the importance of patience, communication, among others. I’ve been so fortunate to have such a rewarding job and truly would not change it for anything. I have Monday and Wednesdays available as well as the occasional weekends, I look forwards twords meeting your kiddos:)

Abi has been wonderful! She is very responsive and professional in communicating our weekly schedule and has never called out sick. More importantly, she is a caring and thoughtful person who truly loves spending time with our sons. She sings with them, plays, reads stories, and even taught our older one(2.5yrs) how to paint! Like all moms, I choose childcare very carefully, and I trust Abi completely with my kids. It’s clear that she genuinely enjoys being with them: she’s patient, kind, and they absolutely adore her. Our older son often asks if Abi is coming over on her days off! Abi also respects the routines I’ve established, keeping consistent with our baby's (7 months) nap and feeding schedule. When I come home, the house is always clean, which I deeply appreciate. She’s experienced, dependable, and confident with children, and I feel so lucky to have her as part of our family.

I'm a retired paramedic with a love of children and animals. I have extensive first aid and CPR experience both with children and adults. I provide age appropriate activities, age appropriate book reading, creative and outdoor play, assistance with homework, errands, senior care. I'm very comfortable with animals of all types and sizes. I have a golden retriever puppy named Hunter.I will provide safety care and companionship to your little ones, fuzzy ones until your return with frequent updates/pics if requested. Clear background check and a non-drinker/smoker. I’ve been a nanny to 4 families and babysitting since I was 12. I’m in the process of becoming a foster parent and adoptive parent. I’ve cared for multiple kids of various ages and multiples (twins). I’m very comfortable caring for infants and am able to get the toughest babies to go to sleep without letting them just scream it out. If you have a tough baby and need help I’ll be more than happy to teach you how I do it. I'm a retired paramedic with a love of children and animals.

I’m fully vaccinated and boosted. I love reading to babies and young children to turn them on to books and learning. Weather permitting we take nature walks outside either in the park or just the backyard to discover all the wonderful things that are on your child’s level. I like for kids to use all of their 5 sense. Helping me make cookies or prepare their snack and try things with parents permission. I want to be another safe person in your bubble as your child experiences and explores their surroundings. Being a paramedic I’m very safety conscious. Your child would always be my first concern.

I am pleased to share my review of our nanny, Tiffaney, who has been an essential part of our family for the past many months. From day one, she worked to connect with my toddler, ensuring that he feels safe, loved, and engaged throughout their time together. Most days, she would either take him to the park, which he absolutely loved, or run errands and spend quality time at home. I appreciated her creativity in finding new and exciting activities to keep him entertained and stimulated. Whether it was exploring the playground or reading books, she always found ways to spend meaningful time with him. Reliability and trustworthiness are two qualities that we required in our nanny, and Tiffaney consistently exceeded my expectations in both areas. I could always count on her to be prepared for whatever the day had in store and be flexible. Her background as a paramedic gave me peace of mind that she can handle whatever crisis may occur and prevent my son from being in any danger. I felt secure that my son was in such capable hands while I was unable to be with him. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a nurturing and dependable caregiver. Her dedication and love for children are evident, and I am grateful for the positive influence she has had on my son during this crucial year of his growth.

Hi there. My name is Kathy Crump, and I am 35 years old. I love children, even though I am not able to have any of my own, I love taking care of children. Although I do not have much paid experience (1 year at a Daycare / Preschool to School Age place), I know I am very good with kids. In the past, when I worked at that place, I did get CPR and First-Aid certified, but it has now expired, which I do intend to get all the certifications needed as soon as possible so I can start helping you all out with babysitting your child or children :-)
