Hi, my name is Deborah I am a 20 years old from Nigeria. I moved to California 10 years ago, my favorite things are outdoor activities, reading, taking walks, and baking. I also love Jesus and I’am a devoted Christian. I’am majoring in biochemistry at Sacramento State. With over 4 years of experience in the childcare field, I feel that I have gained excellent experience with children of all ages. My younger brother is autistic, so I have lots of experience taking care of kids with special needs. I simply love children and enjoy helping them learn and grow at every stage of their young lives. My strengths as a sitter are that I am a very responsible, reliable, and caring person. I am passionate about furthering my time in the field so that I can continue doing what I love and broadening my experiences. I’am CPR, AED, and first aid certified as well as fire safety trained!

Welcome parents and guardians! Located in Sacramento* (Open to occasional and one time babysitting gigs) I am excited to share a little bit about myself and my qualifications to support your family. I begin my experience with youth at Boys and Girls Club which guided me into being more open and appreciative of how unique each child is. I have worked at multiple school districts from coordinating activities for after school programs to currently, working at a non-profit as a therapist for middle and high schoolers. I have nine years of youth experience, as well as 6 years of babysitting experience from ages 2 months to 18 years old. I am CPR and First aid certified. I enjoy being silly with kids and being open to what the child would like to do. I am patient especially after working with children from different backgrounds including beautiful children on the spectrum. I am an associate therapist and a graduate of Santa Clara University that embraces every child’s individuality so if I sound like a great fit for your family, Please feel free to message me with what you’re looking for (days, times, how many children, and responsibilities) :-) Looking forward to working with your family!

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! I'm Cecilia, a dependable 33-year-old woman pursuing a degree in psychology who adores children and animals. While I’ve cared for children of all ages most of my life, since 2022 the majority of my experience has been with kids ages 1–6. I truly love each stage of development for different reasons, and don't shy away from any age group. My goal is to foster a supportive, nurturing, creative environment for kids to safely explore the world and discover themselves. My experience includes bottle feeding, diaper changing, potty training, emotional support/regulation for children, pretend play, outside play, meal prepping, dressing, homework help, maintaining a tidy play environment, transportation, housekeeping, and organizing educational games/crafts. Additionally, I have experience caring for neurodivergent children, understanding their unique needs, and assisting with emotional regulation, sensory sensitivities, and communication strategies. Beyond my professional background, I enjoy live music, hiking, crocheting, and meditation. I'm CPR/FA certified, fully vaccinated, and I have a clean background and driving record. If you believe I'd be a good fit for your family, don't hesitate to reach out!

Hi my name is Dulce but I go by Abi, I have always been drawn to working with children, once I graduated high school I applied for a summer school position 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 which was such a rewarding job as well. 8 years ago I was so fortunate to have found my family I currently nanny for, I have been with them for the past 8 yrs and care after their 3 boys( under 9). Throughout the years I have learned the importance of patience, communication, punctuality among others. I’ve been so fortunate to have such a rewarding job and truly would not change it for anything. I have Monday’s available, evenings as well as the occasional weekends, Im always looking twords making new besties :)

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.

Hello, my name is Katherina Oleynichenko. I finished Sacramento City College studying Early Childhood Education and finished Sacramento State University this past semester Spring 2025 in Child Development with a minor in Deaf studies. In my professional experience, I have babysat toddlers through kindergarten-aged children at my church on Thursday night every other week for the past two years. My goal was to make sure all the children would play nice, eat and enjoy their snacks, and leave the center with a smile on their faces. At my church, I also participated as a lead counselor and supervisor of children in a program called Vacation Bible School which occurs every summer as a day camp for children ages 4-10. Through Vacation Bible school, I not only supervised children but made sure all were happy, entertained, and fed, as we also had snacks throughout the day and you know what happens when a child does not eat, they are cranky. Another professional experience that I am currently a member of is Awana Clubs, which is ages from 4-6 and 7-12. I volunteer as the main coordinator and also a crew leader which oversees the children and their behavior. I practice Bible verses with them, participate in sports activities, and share lots of hugs. I also have experience with infants and pre-toddlers. I was the main babysitter for 4 years while my own little brother was growing up and I have learned what it means to have a crucial bedtime/daytime schedule for infants, from nap time to food breaks and how much attention infants and little babies need and crying is their main source of disagreement but should not be their main source of communication and smiling is better. Some skills that I have gained over the years are good time management and patience with children. Children want your undivided attention and unconditional affection and as an adult or babysitter, my goal is to provide that environment while also supporting their growth into future young adults. One of my greatest achievements and growth moments as a student in early childhood development and personal development is being able to think of entertaining activities fast and fun games to play if the child begins to get bored. Being creative is an amazing source of outlet to let children be who they are through painting, coloring, or doing various crafts. I also speak Russian and am proficient in American Sign Language. Looking forward to meeting you and your wonderful family. Thank you!

Katie has helped us summers and after shool as a buddy for our autistic tween. She always showed up with a smile on her face, ready to engage and play with him – sitting on the floor for hours playing LEGOs and trains. He loves to talk, and she was great at having conversations with him, keeping him safe, and helping him stick to his routine. Katie was respectful and treated our home with care. She was always cheerful and had a positive attitude.

I’ve cared for multiple kids of various ages and multiples (twins).

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.
