Hannah F., Babysitter in Descanso, CA 91916 with 13 years of paid experience

I have been taking care of kiddos for about 20+ years. (Beginning at age 13) I had several families though my teens who I worked for nearly every weekend. In my mid twenties I took the steps to become a preschool teacher, and now have about 8 years of teaching under my belt. I enjoy what I do, and I’d love to be your child’s caregiver!

Laura T., Babysitter in Descanso, CA 91916 with 1 year of paid experience

Hello Families, My name is Laura, and I currently live in Alpine, CA with my husband Daniel and our 18-month-old daughter. For the past year, I’ve been working as a Special Education Instructional Assistant with Alpine Union School District—and it’s been such a rewarding experience. I’ve truly fallen in love with helping students grow and achieve their educational goals. I’m a caring, empathetic, and energetic mom who loves creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. While I’m new to professional nannying, my background in education and hands-on parenting has given me the skills to care for children with patience, compassion, and a sense of fun. In addition to my educational experience, I hold a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Public Administration and have worked in various customer service roles, which helped me strengthen my communication and problem-solving skills. I'm also bilingual—I speak both English and Spanish—which I believe can be a wonderful asset in helping children become comfortable with language or supporting bilingual families. I’m excited about the opportunity to support your family and care for your little ones as if they were my own! Warmly, Laura Tirado

I'm a recent UCSB graduate and currently working on becoming EMT certified. I have taken care of children my whole life. I have become so comfortable being around children and really enjoy spending time with many different personalities. The goal for my future career is to combine my love for working with children and healthcare. If you need someone to help around the house, clean, cook, laundry, or just someone to hang out with the kids, I'm able and willing.

My name is Ayanna! I’m currently a college student studying to become an elementary school teacher. I’ve always loved working with children and have years of hands-on experience caring for kids of all ages. As the oldest in a large family, I’ve naturally taken on a leadership role and learned how to keep things fun, safe, and engaging. In addition to babysitting for family, I’ve also cared for children outside of my home, which has helped me build strong communication and caregiving skills. I’m CPR certified and have a valid food handler’s card, so your child’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!
