Ivonne  M., Babysitter in Cowan Heights, CA 92705 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.

Patricia has been an important part of our family for almost 2 years, caring for our son since he was 6 months old. Patricia has consistently demonstrated dedication, skill and compassion in her role, making her an invaluable asset to our household. She has always made our son’s safety her highest priority and her creativity and enthusiasm for crafts has brought lots of joy to our son’s life. Patricia established a reliable and consistent routine, including daily trips to the park and tending to a vegetable garden. We are so thankful for everything Patricia has done for our son and our family. It is quite difficult to say goodbye, but she has done an exceptional job preparing our son for his next adventure at school.

Lori was an absolutely amazing help to our family when we visited California for a family wedding. She took on three consecutive LONG days with two toddlers like a champ. Not only did she bring a great attitude and loving energy but she also thought ahead and brought a wagon and toys and was completely in tune with the boys’ needs. Highly recommend her for your next sitter job!!

Leannah M., Babysitter in Cowan Heights, CA 92705 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.

Auvin H., Babysitter in Cowan Heights, CA 92705 with 11 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m a caring, energetic, and dependable person who genuinely loves working with kids! I grew up taking care of children in my neighborhood, which led to years of babysitting for many wonderful families. I also have several years of experience as a summer camp counselor, where I supported children in both group activities and one-on-one care. My experience is in childcare, youth programming, and recreational supervision. I’ve helped plan and lead age-appropriate activities, managed group dynamics, ensured safety in active environments, and supported children in building confidence, creativity, and social skills. I recently graduated from school, where I developed strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills that I use in every role I take on. I also hold the following certifications: Standard First Aid, CPR-C (Child & Infant CPR), AED Certification, and Child Safety & Supervision Training. These help me provide a safe, responsible, and prepared environment for children in my care. Outside of childcare, I currently work in a fast-paced, people-facing service role, which has strengthened my responsibility, time management, adaptability, and ability to work well under pressure. I love being outdoors, staying active, doing creative activities, and making everyday moments fun! Most importantly, I want every child I care for to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and completely themselves. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone, and I always treat that responsibility with kindness, patience, and care.

Auvin is an incredible sitter! She is caring, on time and very organized. She provided me with a menu of services she provides, her full schedule and her rate based on the job I needed. She was able to help me early in the morning get the kids ready for school and get them in the car for daycare. She also was able to help with some light housekeeping I needed done as well. I’m so grateful we found her!

Dawn has been with our family full time for over 2 years. Our kids were 7 months and 2 when she started. I can't say enough great things about our time with her. She's like a true Mary Poppins. Teaching the kids, taking them on adventures, helping at home with cleaning and meal prep for the family, doing laundry and helping out in other ways. Our kids love her, always happy to see her for hugs. She brings them surprises and kept them entertained and engaged. As our kids transition into school, they are advanced in so many ways due to the care and teaching at home with Dawn. We sadly had to let her go due to our situation changing with kids in school and mom's work schedule changing. Dawn is truly a gem among nannies, and I highly recommend her. We had 4 nannies prior to her, and felt so lucky to have found her and worked with someone so experienced, nurturing, and helpful when our lives were at peak stress.

I genuinely enjoy working with children because every day brings something new whether it's building a fort out of couch cushions or helping with homework. I love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids feel supported to explore and grow. Being a sitter lets me make a positive impact on a child’s day, and that’s incredibly fulfilling to me! I’ve worked with children of all ages from infants to preteens in various settings including babysitting for families, volunteering at a children’s hospital, and mentoring through youth programs. I’m comfortable with routines like school pickups, meal prep, bedtime, and helping with homework. CPR & First Aid Certified Background checked Strong communicator with both children and parents Patient and calm under pressure Creative and educational play expert (arts & crafts, STEM games, reading time!) Reliable transportation and flexible scheduling
