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.

Welcome parents and guardians! Located in Sacramento* (Available until December 6th) 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 recent 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!

I love kids and have a lot of experience. I have a 21 & 15 year old daughters of my own. I am very patient, calm, nurturing and fun! Can't wait to meet you and your kid(s)! If you need help, I am available weekday evenings and on occasional weekends.

Hi! I am a part-time graduate student working as a nanny/babysitter on the side. I have over 10 years of experience working with children in a variety of settings. Please feel free to read through my experiences and let me know if you have any questions. I can provide a recent background check and references upon request. And good luck in your childcare search! Babysitting experience: I have taken care of children ages 2 months to 14 years, up to 4 children at a time. I am comfortable with overnights after getting to know a family first. Nanny experience: I have 2.5 years total experience working as a full time nanny. I spent one year in Chicago splitting my time between two families with complimentary schedules. The first had children ages 1.5 yrs and 4 yrs. The second had children ages 2, 6, and 9. I started nannying in Sacramento with a series of temporary/short-term jobs totalling 6 months of experience. Most of these families had infants or toddlers and were waiting for a spot at a daycare, or I was filling in while their regular nanny went on maternity leave or an extended vacation. Since summer 2024, I have been working for one family with a 5 year old. I am comfortable driving children to and from school or activities, providing tutoring/homework help, and completing housework while nannying. Experience with developmental differences: I consider myself highly qualified to work with children who are neurodivergent, developmentally delayed, or living with specific medical conditions that affect their childcare needs. I studied applied developmental psychology in college. Immediately after graduation, I worked for one year as an Early Interventionist-Infant Specialist with Optima Family Services in Los Angeles. In this role I provided in-home developmental therapy to young children with a variety of medical and behavioral diagnoses. More recently I spent nearly three years as a Clinical Research Coordinator at UC Davis for a study about autism and related developmental conditions in 8-22 year olds. Many of the families that I have babysat/nannied for have also had a neurodivergent child. The 5 year old I've been taking care of this past year has ASD. Additional relevant experience: I worked two summers between colleges semesters as a childcare assistant at a home daycare (ages 1 month to 5 years) and held a college internship at the UCLA Infant Development Program, a mixed ability early education classroom (ages 1 month to 3 years.)

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!

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:)

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 :)
