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.

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 watched our son multiple times and is a great sitter. She is clearly experienced with kids. She came with her own car seat, followed our directions, looked after our dog well, cooked meals, took our son to his piano lesson and put our son to sleep (very tricky with our son). Abi is very communicative, warm, friendly, patient and enthusiastic.

Dafne has been caring for our infant daughter for about two months now, and she's consistently punctual, reliable, and communicative. She is sweet and patient with our daughter and always lets us know exactly what time she ate and slept, which makes the transition back to our care so much easier. I would absolutely recommend Dafne!

Hello there, my name is kaitlyn and I am 29 years old. I have lived in the sacramento region for 10 years. I originated from a town called Sonora in the mountains by Yosemite. I’m a certified phlebotomist, was previously a LEAD preschool teacher in Roseville all of 2020 through covid, have been through medical assisting school, first responder classes, & also am CPR & first aid certified. Experience wise : Most of my experience is with infants-preschool age ranging from premature up to 3-6 yrs of age but i am also very familiar with age ranges up to 15+ years even with disabilities such as autism/Down syndrome. :) I have cared for 6 sets of twins throughout my years of nannying (most were premature, being twins, one set being 64 days premature and only weighing 1 lb 14 oz and the other twin was 2lb 7.5 oz). Such little guys! I have more infant/toddler experience than anything but i love kids of all ages as they are what keeps this world going if not with amazing talents but with smiles and laughs that even a cold soul couldn't help but smile at. In addition i was raised in a law enforcement household my father retired as a coroner for the tuolumne county sheriffs department. I was raised with the upmost respect and always leave homes/places better than how i found them. I am also fingerprinted and live scanned through Roseville police department, FBI, child abuse, and sex offender index as I was a preschool teacher. :) I am looking forward to hearing from you. Best wishes! -Kaitlyn

We really liked the way she watched our 3 kids. She was very caring and our kids appreciated her kindness. I feel that when people like her are kind, the kids can feel that kindness. She took her time to really understand my children's needs and she went out of her way to keep them entertained. Thank you Kaitlyn for watching our kids. My kids miss you already. They really had a great time with you. We'll reach out to you next time we are back in Sacramento. It was a wonderful experience.

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.

Hello parents and guardians! My name is Ilsa (ill-suh). I am a full-time nursing student, and I am hoping to work with a family for the Summer, and as needed once the semester starts again in the Fall. I am certified with the AHA in basic life support for infants and adults. I have worked in acute care since 2022 at various hospitals in the Sacramento area. I have close to 5 years of paid experience with nannying and babysitting children. I have a clean driving record with no accidents or speeding tickets. I love reading and teaching children about science, art, English, basic math, and even Spanish! I don’t mind helping with household chores (dishes, laundry, vacuuming, sweeping, organizing) when needed. I enjoy working with families of all kinds, with diverse backgrounds and beliefs, and I strive to understand and, within reason, adhere to their wishes. I enjoy hiking/backpacking and being outdoors when I have the time. I have a medium-sized dog named Willow, and I absolutely adore all pets.
