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, my name is Tolu and I like kids. I come from a big family with lots of children at different ages and I've always loved watching them. I like watching how their mind works, especially after taking some classes that talks about the development of children in college.

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.

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 Kayla, and I truly love being a sitter because I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. There’s something so special about being part of a child’s growth — whether that’s helping with homework, encouraging creativity, or simply being someone they can laugh and feel safe with. I have experience caring for children of various ages and am comfortable managing routines, preparing meals, helping with schoolwork, organizing engaging activities, and maintaining bedtime schedules. I understand how important consistency and patience are, and I always strive to support the parenting style and expectations of each family I work with. I bring strong communication skills, reliability, and a calm, attentive presence. Safety is always my top priority, and I’m organized, dependable, and able to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. My goal is to make both children and parents feel confident, supported, and at ease. I would love the opportunity to be someone your family can trust and rely on!

For as long as I could remember, I’ve always loved working with kids. At first it started with small things like volunteering at my local library for kids events, reading to special needs children, but then I started doing small babysitting gigs, getting into more volunteer work for special needs kids and teenagers, and eventually worked at a daycare! I’ve unfortunately moved away from the city the daycare is in, but my love for taking care of children has remained! Every age has a place in my heart and patience is my #1 skill! I have plenty of activities that I could share with your children, plenty of learning, all fun! I am CPR and First Aid certified, please feel free to ask any questions, I am a very very open book! Hope we can meet soon :)

We hired Megan at the last minute to come to a hotel to watch my 4 year old while we went to dinner. She showed up right on time; I showed up without any toys or books and all the "devices" were running low on batteries! Eek! Megan was unfazed. My daughter later reported that they played "family," and Megan managed to juice up the Kindle and find a free Amazon game for my daughter to play. Brilliant! We don't expect to be in Davis again anytime soon, but if we were, we would definitely call Megan. MM
