Hi my name is Emily! I've been nannying/pet sitting for over 7 years (ages newborn to 12) and truly love what I do. I'm BLS and CPR certified, have a Bachelor's in Health Science, and I'm currently studying to pass my exam to earn certification in intraoperative neuromonitoring. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and nurturing space where children can learn and feel loved- whether that's through crafts, outdoor play, or story time. Over the years, I've built long-lasting relationships with families I've worked for and many have become friends. I'm reliable, patient, caring, and aim to make parents feel at ease knowing their children are in good hands. I also have experience caring for pets, house sitting, being a mommy's helper, and traveling with families. I am also bilingual in Spanish. If you are still looking for help let’s schedule a call to discuss more!

Emily has been amazing with my 16 month old boy. From the initial conversation, meet and greet, to caring for my child she's been great. Emily has worked for us several times now and is always professional in her communication and prompt with responses. She was able to help us out with a last minute need which was extremely helpful. Highly recommend!

Hello!! My name is Juliette but I go by the nickname Jj as it’s easy for kids to say. I can help with sleep training, potty training, weaning off of pacifiers or breastmilk, cleaning the home, cooking, bedtime, play time, nap time, and almost anything else that I’m needed for. I enjoy working with kids and I’m becoming a baby sitter bc I wish to work in child care and hopefully work in a proper daycare/nursery one day. Unfortunately I can not yet drive but I do have reliable transportation. I have done baby sitting jobs in various neighborhoods that were within walking distance for about 5 years while I was still in school. I have since graduated and I’m looking for a proper baby sitting job. I really do love working with kids, and pets will never be a problem. I hope my dream of childcare comes true, and I hope I am your best and first choice!!

Hello! My name is Mia, and I am currently a student at Santa Fe College studying Communication Sciences and Disorders with the goal of becoming a pediatric Speech Language Pathologist. Caring for children has always been a true passion of mine. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and have served in my hometown’s children’s ministry for the past four years. Through these experiences, I have cared for children ranging from infants to 12 years old, including children with special needs. My approach to childcare is centered on patience, positivity, and, above all, keeping your children safe. I enjoy engaging kids in fun and meaningful activities such as reading, arts and crafts, playing indoors or outdoors, visiting the park or library, and helping with homework. Families I’ve worked with describe me as reliable, attentive, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is to build trust with parents, and I strive to provide dependable care that gives families peace of mind while creating a fun, supportive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for.

I have experience providing compassionate care, keeping people safe, and supporting families with their loved ones’ needs. I have a natural love for helping others and creating a comfortable, positive environment. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to details. I understand how important it is for parents and families to have someone they trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m comfortable helping with routines, meal preparation, playtime, light housekeeping, errands, and providing a safe and nurturing environment.

I love being a babysitter because I genuinely enjoy building meaningful relationships with children and being someone they feel safe, comfortable, and happy around. I have several years of experience working with children of many ages, from babysitting in my neighborhood to working at the Boys & Girls Club, where I was responsible for groups of 20 children ages 6–13. I’ve also worked as a nanny for multiple families, including caring for elementary-aged girls and supporting one child with ADHD and autism by helping with after-school routines and homework. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable to each child’s individual needs. Being a sitter doesn’t feel like “work” to me, I love creating a fun, structured, and caring environment where kids feel supported and parents feel confident leaving their children in my care
