I am a former teacher with 25+ years of experience in early childhood education in NY. After retiring, my husband and I relocated to the valley and love it here. I also did private babysitting at a 4 star hotel in the Adirondacks of NY. I have three grandsons that have been a great way to keep active and current but still have the desire to help young families with childcare needs. I would love to chat with you about my experience and see if I can assist you with your needs!

We were recently in Palm Springs for a conference and needed a sitter to watch our infant and little boy. Lisa was professional, prompt, and kind. She brought age appropriate toys for our little boy, and instantly calmed our infant. She went above and beyond as a sitter. Would use her again in the future. Thanks Lisa!

I'm a recent college graduate with a BA in Spanish Linguistics. I love hanging out with kids and enjoy helping them grow their little minds. With my Spanish major, it allows me to help children learn a new language as well. I look forward to the potential of babysitting for your family.

Hi, my name is Jasmin, I’m 27 years old and live in Palm Desert. As a nurturing mom myself, I truly understand the love, patience, and responsibility it takes to care for children and also the worry parents feel about leaving their little one with someone new. That’s why I always say, I’d rather it be me caring for your child, because I will treat them as if they were my own. I’m very communicative, active , and enjoy cooking meals. My main goal every day is to provide a safe, happy, and loving environment where your child can thrive and you can feel at ease.any questions please feel free to message me :) looking foward to meeting you and your family .

Absolutely wonderful with every age she was great with my seven-year-old, five-year-old, two year-old and even one year-old baby! Always early never had a problem with staying a few minutes late and always communicated wonderfully with me. It definitely helps that she herself is a mother, and she prides herself in her work. Can’t recommend more highly

I have gained valuable experience working in various capacities with different families and facilities, which has exposed me to a multitude of alternative and traditional practices. I have always approached my work with enthusiasm and flexibility, adapting to the needs of each child and family. My expertise lies primarily in childcare and education, but I have also worked as a receptionist, personal assistant, sales associate, and hostess. These experiences have honed my communication skills, adaptability, and ability to work efficiently and effectively in diverse environments ................................................................................................................................. I pride myself on being articulate, highly personable, and adaptable. I am a hard worker and a fast learner, always seeking opportunities for personal and professional growth. I am confident that my skills and passion for working with children would make me a valuable asset to your family. ................................................................................................................................. Here is a short list of my experience: • Private Nanny • Team member in early literacy program. • Youth Mentor • Co-lead teacher in both traditional and non-traditional preschools. • Respite care worker • Intermittent childcare provider

Sade sat for us two times --she was professional, on time, and great at relating to my elementary school-aged kids. I recommend her.

I have been working with children for 15 years. My first job with children was at a daycare, Seymour Family Childcare. Then, at Desert Recreation District. I currently work for a family Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with 2 boys ages 2 and 4. I absolutely fell in love with this line of work. I had tried hospitality, insurance and administrative. However none of those made me as happy as working with children. I have worked with ages newborn to 12 years old. Along with childcare, I also provide home cleaning, cooking, errands, pets, etc. Anything you need to run a caring/clean household I can do it. I am fluent in English and Spanish, which does come in handy quite often. I am tidy and timely. I take instruction with ease and I’m glad to take any constructive advice or tips on how to do an even better job. As for my personality, I tend to be on the silly side. Which works out perfect when working with children. I love exploring, learning new things, taking care of my family, and a huge fan of Sci-fi (so of course Star Wars included). I love being a mom however that does not pay the bills so I hope to do the next best thing, which is to be a fun, caring nanny for a lovely family ?

Alissia helped us out with our three high-energy boys during a busy and chaotic extended stay in Palm Springs. She was super proactive, looked for opportunities to support the kids (preemptively getting them fed and staying active) and keep them engaged (with games, activities, conversation). She asked good questions, worked well independently, and communicated very effectively. She was a joy to have with us.

Hi! My name is Jaeleene, and I’m currently a college student. I love working with kids and have a lot of experience caring for children of different ages. I currently work as a gymnastics coach, teaching kids ages 3–12, and I really enjoy helping them learn, have fun, and build confidence. I’ve grown up around younger siblings and cousins, so being around kids has always come naturally to me.

I’ve also cared for up to three children at once, including families with children of different ages.
