Hello! My name is Irene and I have been working with children for over 16 years. I am a very fun and energetic individual who enjoys and appreciates children and their curiosity for the world. I have been working with children of all ages for over 16 yrs. I have a Bachelors degree in early childhood, I am Montessori trained, CPR and first aide certified. I am looking for opportunities to work after my primary job. I mainly just have availability for occasional sits. I do not do any extra housework but I am happy to clean up after your child with anything they used during the time they were under my care, this includes dishes, bottles, etc. I have been fully vaccinated!

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!

Hi There! I’m interested in caring for your child/children. I’m experienced with infants/toddlers and preschool/ elementary age children. It’s not easy to trust somebody with your child, but your little one will be happy and safe with me. I provide safe childcare; my references will vouch for me: they love me! I’m attentive to the needs of the children, and can adjust based on what is age appropriate. I do enjoy reading to young children, especially toddlers and pre school age children. Ive taught a few to read before entering kindergarten. I like using flash cards to teach colors, animals, shapes, numbers and the alphabet. Walks to the park, and enjoying the outdoors/nature is also fun.(weather permitting) INFANTS: happy to prepare bottles, feed baby, change diapers, and swaddle baby. I’ll wash all baby dishes, baby laundry, and keep the nursery clean and organized. TODDLERS: prepare meals/snacks, wash toddler dishes, keep play area clean. Happy to do light housework, depending on our arrangement. I’m fully vaccinated/boosted. I’m infant/child CPR certified. Let’s chat, and see if I’m a good fit for your family! :)

We feel incredibly lucky to have found such an amazing babysitter! From day one, Monica has been reliable, caring, and genuinely great with our kids (boys age 2 and 4). Our children absolutely love spending time with her, and it’s clear how much attention and thought she puts into keeping our boys happy, engaged, and safe. Monica helps us in the morning by helping the boys get dressed, eat breakfast, and drives them to school for drop off. One thing that really stands out is how confident and responsible she is when it comes to driving. Whether it’s school drop offs, activities, or outings, we always have complete peace of mind knowing our kids are in such safe hands. She is punctual, attentive, and clearly takes safety very seriously, which means a lot to us as parents. It’s rare to find someone who is both so nurturing and so dependable in every aspect of the job. We trust Monica completely and highly recommend her to any family looking for someone exceptional!

I’m a college student studying health sciences with a genuine love for working with kids and creating a safe, positive environment for them. I have several years of babysitting experience caring for my 8 nieces and nephews, with ages ranging from toddlers to preteens, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs—whether that’s playtime, helping with homework, or keeping things on schedule. I’m CPR and First Aid trained, reliable, patient, and attentive, and I always aim to make both kids and parents feel comfortable, supported, and confident in my care. Some of my hobbies include cooking, baking, playing games, and spending time with animals, so I’m happy to help in homes with pets. I have open availability that can meet your desired needs.

Leannah M.

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.

Cynthia is THE BEST! We’ve been visiting Laguna Beach for a few weeks and she has been a godsend, caring for our five month old while we work remotely. She has been communicative and professional, and extremely sweet and attentive to our little guy. I can’t recommend her enough!

I am a 47 year old mom to a 15 year old wonderful young man. I started taking care of children when I was 13 years old. I love children and want them to have a positive healthy atmosphere and good nutrition. I think structure is important like having a consistent routine for sleep and eating. I feel that music should be on most of the time. I was born in New York to immigrant parents from Greece. I speak Greek fluently and have studied other languages including French and Spanish. I love to cook, bake, go fishing and garden. I have experience with children with special needs and understand the challenges and joys that come from them.

Our family, especially my three children, absolutely adored “Argi.” She introduced all of us to new cultural aspects and ways of life. She taught my children with passion, care, patience, humor, and she’s an amazing cook as well. She put strong emphasis on healthy choices and nutrition in every meal and does it with endless amounts of love and care. She is respectful of other cultures and traditions. She knows how to get my kids to open up and share their concerns with her. For example, my daughter who was going through some tough times with school so Argi would always make it a point to do special little things for her and constantly reminding her how strong and resilient she is, giving her confidence to overcome anything that got in her way. My son who does not like to try new food now discovers that he likes Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. She’s the biggest cheerleader and supporter to all three kids with their sports and always shows up to support them.At times when I find myself at odds with my children lol, Argi becomes the peacemaker middleman trying to help us understand each other’s perspectives. She brings a lifetime of experience rich with diversity, intellect, and human decency. Anyone who is lucky enough to have her in their homes will absolutely value her.

I currently work as a lead teacher caring for toddlers and helping them learn, grow, and build confidence through daily activities, play, and positive guidance.

I am patient, dependable, responsible, and committed to providing quality care that families can trust. I am also pursuing my Master’s degree in School Counseling, which has strengthened my understanding of child development and social-emotional growth. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, playing games, or following daily routines, I aim to make every child feel valued, happy, and cared for.

Hello, my name is Kuei Mei Chen (I go by Carol Chen). A little about me: I moved here from Taiwan in 1998, and I have five years of experience working as a nanny/caregiver, 3 of which includes experience caring for an infant. I truly enjoy caring for young children. Accompanying them as they grow, watching them from crawling to learning how to walk, to guiding them in discovering the world around them and helping them learn to communicate and speak, I deeply enjoy every part of the process.
