Find experienced babysitters in Castaic, CA

Growing up in a big family I was always around children! In addition to having a lot of younger cousins my parents had decided to have my two younger sisters. There is a 15 and 17 year age gap between me and them. As an older sister I was always willing to watch my siblings when my parents could not. When I first started babysitting I had the pleasure of nannying a family that had 5 children, the oldest being 13 and the youngest being 2 years old. Throughout my time as a nanny/babysitter I have cared for children ranging from 6 months to 13 years old. I do really enjoy taking care of these kids! Everyday is different and it is so amazing to see the world through their eyes.

Hello! My name is Catherine and I am a registered nurse, currently working night shift in a telemetry floor at the hospital. I am located in Porter Ranch! I have worked for multiple families in the past working with a variety of ages (including infants) as well as special needs.

I'd describe my personality as honest, reliable, and very attentive. I stay calm in busy or stressful situations and make sure things are handled and running smoothly. I like working with kids because how they're treated when they're young really shapes who they become. I grew up in a structured environment with strong values, and that's something I bring into how I care for others. I've worked with kids from a young age, helping care for my younger brother and later babysitting for family friends and relatives, so I'm comfortable with different ages and situations. Being a team captain for a girls' tennis team also helped me build leadership skills and confidence managing groups. In my spare time, I enjoy makeup, crafts, staying active, volunteering and being outdoors. I'm naturally energetic and enjoy bringing a fun, positive energy that kids connect with. I'm very observant and adaptable, and I enjoy creating simple, interactive activities that keep kids engaged and involved.

Hi! In the past, I have babysitting experience through family and friends and I would more than happy to help support your lifestyle by sharing my caregiving.

I previously held a full-time position working for a family from 2020 up until last year, where I gained extensive experience caring for multiple children simultaneously. This included children as young as 6 months old, up to 10 years old, allowing me to actively contribute to their developmental milestones. My responsibilities encompassed a range of activities, from dancing and going for walks to swimming and engaging in creative activities like coloring. In addition to child-focused tasks, I also handled meal preparation and performed light housekeeping duties. My passion for nannying stems from the joy I derive from watching children grow and become an integral part of their lives. I've been complimented on my nurturing energy, and I firmly believe that every child benefits from such care and attention.

Hello! My name is Bryana and I am 25 years old. I live in Porter Ranch and am currently working on getting my teaching credential at California State University Northridge. I have been a professional paid Nanny for seven years now, working with children ranging from infant to high school age. I started informally babysitting with family friends, and from that blossomed my professional career as a Nanny.

I am definitely an animal lover, as I have three cats and a dog at home. I have a clean driving record and have held numerous positions that involved driving children from past families I have worked with. I have my CPR Certification, along with being fully up to date on all of my vaccinations including the flu and the COVID vaccines. I look forward to providing a helping hand for your family!
