A seven year experience sitter/nanny/mother’s helper. Like Lumière, from Beauty and the Beast, I am here to be of service. I have been with various families of all ages as an occasional sitter and was able to build a seven year relationship with two families, from the youngest being 3 months old to now seven years old to the oldest being 5 months old who will be turning 8 in a couple of weeks. I have been able to build upon this career by making sure the children feel seen and the parents feel supported. There are no limits to the activities I bring for the children and the amount of housework needed for the parents. Being a sitter is more than a job for me, it’s my life purpose and I am excited to continue to build and to help create a healthy and thriving community.

Hello!My name is Miranda, and I have over five years of experience as a nanny. A little bit about me: I love coffee, hiking, sewing, plants, cooking, and wakeboarding. I have an espresso machine at home and enjoy making iced lattes in my downtime. I’m always exploring new creative outlets—whether it’s arts and crafts, pottery, or other hands-on projects. Since picking up wakeboarding over the summer, I’m now excited to learn how to surf!My nannying style is centered on a gentle approach. I believe discipline can be done with love—through patience, kindness, and understanding. Over the years, I’ve found that many young children simply need guidance in expressing their emotions, and with the right support, they can learn healthy ways to communicate. I love fostering a safe, fun, and encouraging environment where kids can thrive. I am CPR and First Aid certified and currently seeking stable, long-term part-time work Monday through Thursday, anytime until 6 p.m. On occasion, I’d also be happy to help on a Friday through Sunday with advanced notice.I’d love the chance to connect over FaceTime to get to know you better and see if we’re the right fit!Warmly, Miranda

Hi my name is Bella! I’m and older sister to my younger sister and brother and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. I was a swim team coach of 250 kids ages 4-18! Because of that, I am fully CPR certified through Red Cross and have even completed babysitting classes to receive a certification. I’ve had about 6 years of babysitting experience whether that be my younger siblings, family, family friends, families in the neighborhood, or families in my area while at college! I’m also able to cook clean, and tutor. :)

With 10+ years of experience and a big family full of little cousins, I've always loved nurturing children's growth. My calm, patient nature helps me connect deeply with kids, while my creativity shines through in the crafts, nature play, and games we enjoy together. I'm inspired by Montessori and Waldorf approaches, and I love incorporating cooking, gardening, and hands-on activities into our time. I'm confident caring for multiple children and happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, and swimming supervision. I'm currently attending Cabrillo College, planning to major in Speech Pathology to continue working with children professionally. I communicate clearly with families and am always respectful of household rules and routines. I aim to create a warm, supportive environment where kids feel seen, safe, and inspired. I am also CPR certified and have completed mandated reporter training

I have strong caregiving experience, especially with children, from working at Munchkin University preschool in Redding for several years. I earned my Early Childhood Education (ECE) credits at Shasta College, qualifying me to teach and care for infants to 5-year-olds. This education gave me skills to support young children's development in a nurturing way. I've babysat since I was young, gaining hands-on experience. I'm organized, clean, and attentive, ensuring a safe environment. I love teaching and nurturing kids and enjoy making others happy. I also care for pets and handle household tasks, including cooking and meal prepping. These qualities make me a compassionate, reliable caregiver.
