Hello ! My name is Leannah and I'm so excited to meet you! I graduated from UC Davis in 2022 and grew up in the Bay Area. My journey as a babysitter began from a young age, having to watch over my younger siblings while my parent was away at work. I have since utilized that experience to help out many families and have had awesome experiences. I find that children have always connected to my personality and my exciting spirit. Aside from babysitting, I have done all sorts of jobs from cashiering to volunteering at pet shelters to even providing care for the elderly. I’ve always loved being a babysitter. It is the most rewarding and fulfilling job out there. Children are a delightful gift: they bring so much joy to my heart and make every day so much better. Playing outside, playing games and encouraging children to use their imagination is something that I am passionate about. The relationship that you’re able to build with a family is something you can’t really find in the work world. Currently, I am an Elementary School Librarian, and work with kids from all ages (starting as little as 2)! I am open to work over the summer and date nights.

Nanette is the best sitter we've ever had!! She is the only person outside of my family that I have felt 100% comfortable leaving my daughter with. She always knows what to do and you can tell that she's a great mom, which is very important in my opinion! Nanette also looks after our dog when we're out of town, and every time she comes to pick her up, our dog gets overly excited. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nanette to anyone!

Great with the kiddos. Was fun and speaks right away to the kiddos. Also clear and firm with boundaries, so they know she’s the one in charge. Great at keeping them on track for the evening and guiding the course of their time together!

I'm honest and trustworthy and children seem to love me as well. My friends call me the "Baby Whisperer" and say that I have a way with kids that is rare. I've worked with children for over 25 years and its the most rewarding work for me. I am CPR/First Aid certified and have been completely vaccinated against COVID-19. I'm looking forward to working with children of all ages and backgrounds. We'll have a fun loving time and lots of smiles and giggles.

Jessica is fantastic. She’s always on time and has been available even with short notice, which we really appreciate. My daughter felt comfortable with her immediately, even though Jessica was the first person outside our family to care for her. She has such a calm, reassuring energy and a very poised personality. I would definitely work with her again.

We have been beyond blessed having Erica take care of our 19-month-old son for the last 6 weeks. She reads him book after book, she plays with blocks and cars and chases him around until they are both cracking up laughing. She handles his lunch, bath time, and nap time every day (and he is not an easy one to nap for most people). What I was really amazed with was her level of engagement with him. My husband and I work from home and we could hear her talking to him and laughing with him all day. He asks for her and talks about her constantly when she's not here and we were heartbroken when our local daycare had a spot open up for him. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their child.

Megan is great with our 1 year old son! Our son went right to her and they played the whole time she was watching him, you can tell he had fun! She is very responsive and showed great care for our son. We’re looking forward to having Megan watch him again.

Hello everyone :) . I have ECE units as well as an updated CPR and First aid training card. I have been working with kids for 20 years! My Passion for children took place while I was a teenager in high school. I worked as an intern at a day care in Long Beach and fell in love with teaching and working with kids. Many people call me the baby whisperer lol because everywhere I go, babies cling to me and love me immediately. Right now I work as a case manager at a women’s shelter part time. I love helping others ! My sweet spirit allows not only the kid to love me but the parents also. Some kids take more time but I have the patience to build the trust needed for me and that child to build a great relationship. I’ve worked in a day care setting and baby sat for many parents from the school. I am going to go back to school to get my masters degree in counseling so that I can become a children’s counselor for public schools. I am not a partier, drinker type nor do I use profanity. I dont discriminate & I pray that the same energy to presented to me. I will respect your life and your rules. I LOVE music and I love to dance. Might I also add that i am quite silly lol. Which works great when you’re dealing with toddlers or young ones . There’s so much more I can say but I’ll stop right here . Thank you for taking the time to read this ❤️ I’m open to share my resume !

She is one of the kindest , most compassionate, loving and empathetic person I’ve ever met! She is so trustworthy and people call her the baby whisperer. Her personality is reserved in nature and she is very respectful. I’d recommend anyone to encounter her no matter what race , ethnicity or background. You won’t regret it
