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!

Isabel G., Babysitter in Placentia, CA 92870 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Isabel and I have been doing caretaking as a part time job for over 5 years now. I have experience from all age ranges and multiple kiddos at a time. I genuinely love to do this every so often as a way to connect with myself. It helps me be creative and kind, I appreciate that feeling the most. I understand the needs of a family very early on and am able to connect with children almost immediately. I am trustworthy, kind spirited, and approach things from a nurturing perspective. I have CPR training and worked as a RBT, I sometimes like to implement that training when it comes to behaviors. Overall, I believe in patience and love to take care of kids!

Sharon F., Babysitter in Placentia, CA 92870 with 34 years of paid experience

Hi my name is Sharon and I’m a nanny with over 32 years of experience. I love children and am very caring and easygoing. Your child’s safety, comfort and well being would always be my top priority. I’m responsible, clean, reliable, punctual and have a great work ethic. I love caring for children and their families. I’m more than happy to do laundry and help with light housekeeping. I really like to organize and help families lives run smoothly. I have been a nanny for so many years because I truly enjoy spending time with kids. From the newborn getting used to life outside of Mommy, the infant learning to crawl, the toddler taking their first steps, and the curious preschooler, I’ve had the joy of seeing all of these milestones during my career. Each child is like a snowflake and no two are alike! My education is in Early Childhood Development and Psychology. Of course I also have on the job training by taking care of families over the past 28 years! I’ve had the opportunity of observing children I have cared for grow into productive members of soceity. I would like to add that as a mother myself, I know how important it is to find a caregiver that you can trust. As you are accomplishing your goals and dreams, it’s nice to have the peace of mind that your children are receiving the best of care. My genuine love and concern for children is apparent in everything that I do. From taking care of your child when they’re sick, to the everyday routine, I do it all with a positive attitude and a smile on my face. It’s my pleasure to help your child thrive, grow and blossom. On a personal note, I’m happily married with two grown sons. When I have free time I enjoy reading a good book, hiking with my dogs, going to the gym, and spending time with family and friends. I’m really looking forward to finding a nice and loving family to be part of. Please take a moment to look at my qualifications and reviews. If you think that I may be a fit for your family, please contact me. Thank you for reading and I hope to hear from you soon, Sincerely, Sharon

We have just hired Sharon to start with our family. From the first moment I messaged her she was very quickly responsive, kind, and accommodating. She came to meet us with a beautiful resume and exceptional letters of recommendation from past employers. She has a very calm, loving, and warm demeanor and we are so excited to start our journey with her!

Ivonne  M., Babysitter in Placentia, CA 92870 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello! I'm Ivonne, a professional nanny with about nine years of paid experience caring for children from newborns through preschool age. I've worked with families of all sizes, including caring for five children under the age of five, and I'm confident managing multiple children while providing attentive, individualized care. My priority is creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I respect each family's routines, household rules, and parenting preferences, and I strive to provide reliable, consistent care. I have reliable transportation, communicate well with both parents and children, and am comfortable administering prescribed medications when needed. My experience also includes caring for children with eczema, sensory processing disorders, allergies, and supporting sleep training. I value professionalism, dependability, and building trusting relationships with the families I work with. References are available upon request. I look forward to learning more about your family's childcare needs and seeing if we'd be a great fit. Side note I don’t travel on vacation with families.

I want to give a huge thank you to Ivonne for taking care of my baby twice a week for the past six months. She is an amazing caregiver who went above and beyond to keep my baby happy, comfortable, and engaged. Whether it was taking her to the park, drawing pictures, or reading to her, Ivonne always found ways to make my baby smile. I appreciated her reliability and knowledge of toddlers, which gave me peace of mind while I was working. I highly recommend Ivonne to any parent looking for a loving and trustworthy babysitter.

Leannah M., Babysitter in Placentia, CA 92870 with 2 years of paid experience

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.

I hired Sandy as a sitter for my chickens while we go out of town in December. Sandy was extremely responsive, professional, and flexible in our communications and willing to meet prior to our departure to review the chicken care. She demonstrated immense knowledge for caring for many types of animals, and I felt very confident that she would take great care of our chickens. However, I ended up not needing her services this time as my sister will be staying with us and will care for the chickens while we are away, but I will definitely reach out to Sandy in the future and would love to hire her when we have chicken sitter needs in the future.
