Hello ! My name is Leannah and I'm so excited to meet you! I graduated from UC Davis in 2022 and grew up in the Bay Area. My journey as a babysitter began from a young age, having to watch over my younger siblings while my parent was away at work. I have since utilized that experience to help out many families and have had awesome experiences. I find that children have always connected to my personality and my exciting spirit. Aside from babysitting, I have done all sorts of jobs from cashiering to volunteering at pet shelters to even providing care for the elderly. However because I was raised to be super family-oriented, I’ve always loved being a babysitter;it truly is the most rewarding and fulfilling job out there. Children are a delightful gift: they bring so much joy to my heart and make every day so much better. Playing outside, playing games and encouraging children to use their imagination is something that I am passionate about. The relationship that you’re able to build with a family is something you can’t really find in the work world.

Hi my name is Sharon and I’m a nanny with over 32 years of experience. I love children and am very caring and easygoing. Your child’s safety, comfort and well being would always be my top priority. I’m responsible, clean, reliable, punctual and have a great work ethic. I love caring for children and their families. I’m more than happy to do laundry and help with light housekeeping. I really like to organize and help families lives run smoothly. I have been a nanny for so many years because I truly enjoy spending time with kids. From the newborn getting used to life outside of Mommy, the infant learning to crawl, the toddler taking their first steps, and the curious preschooler, I’ve had the joy of seeing all of these milestones during my career. Each child is like a snowflake and no two are alike! My education is in Early Childhood Development and Psychology. Of course I also have on the job training by taking care of families over the past 28 years! I’ve had the opportunity of observing children I have cared for grow into productive members of soceity. I would like to add that as a mother myself, I know how important it is to find a caregiver that you can trust. As you are accomplishing your goals and dreams, it’s nice to have the peace of mind that your children are receiving the best of care. My genuine love and concern for children is apparent in everything that I do. From taking care of your child when they’re sick, to the everyday routine, I do it all with a positive attitude and a smile on my face. It’s my pleasure to help your child thrive, grow and blossom. On a personal note, I’m happily married with two grown sons. When I have free time I enjoy reading a good book, hiking with my dogs, going to the gym, and spending time with family and friends. I’m really looking forward to finding a nice and loving family to be part of. Please take a moment to look at my qualifications and reviews. If you think that I may be a fit for your family, please contact me. Thank you for reading and I hope to hear from you soon, Sincerely, Sharon

Hello! I am fully vaccinated, have reliable transportation for myself and have well over a decade of childcare experience. I’m looking for work occasionally on semi weekly or monthly basis for a family of 1-3 children (for a rate of $22-35/hr). Growing up in a large family has helped me develop a skill-set that makes me an ideal babysitter candidate. I am the eldest of 7 children and helped care for my younger siblings beginning at 11 years-old. My relevant experience caring for infants began with the birth of my youngest sister when I was thirteen. Based off of my volunteer work with elementary school children in the classroom, and my recent 6+ years of experience babysitting children ranging from ages 6-month to 11, I can confidently look after and facilitate activities for children, do basic housekeeping/cooking/mealprep tasks as needed, and assist with homework or other formative learning experiences. I have assisted kids through potty-training, and bedtime routines. Since 2021, I have been babysitting on a semi weekly / as-needed basis for families in Orange County. Activities I value: reading/storytelling, listening to music, dance/movement, creating art (ex. drawing, painting, clay sculpting, etc), building/creating with objects (ex. building track routes, block structures, lego sets, playdoh, kinetic sand, etc), learning and playing board games (or other well-known games), and imaginary play. As an enthusiastic caretaker, I have proven that I am willing to be present to the task at hand. Overall, I am an articulate and responsible individual who will be a respectful guest in any family home and will value the opportunity to form a bond with your child(ren)!
