My native language is Spanish, and I have an intermediate level of English. I have many years of experience caring for children of different ages, from newborns to 5 years old. Over the past seven years, I have been caring for my 7 year -old granddaughter, and I have also worked with a family taking care of 5-year-old twin boys.

I truly enjoy working with children and supporting their growth and development. I am responsible, reliable, and trustworthy, and I always prioritize the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I enjoy engaging children in outdoor activities such as going to the park, taking walks, and reading stories at the library. I am also happy to assist with light household tasks related to the children, including preparing snacks and meals. I am flexible with my schedule and available to start immediately. I would be happy to share more details about my experience and provide references. If you would like to know more about me, please feel free to contact me at 949-685-2451.

Bresnia was a wonderful caregiver to our daughter between the ages of 2 and 3. She is very kind, loving and playful and cared for our daughter with true tenderness. Bresnia was so imaginative, energetic and playful and we could see that our daughter was always laughing and having so much fun with her. She was very conscientious and always made sure to check with us to ensure she was following our schedule and our preferences. We highly recommend her as a caregiver.

And you will have a report of all the activities we will do during the day. Thank you for your attention and time! I see forward to meeting you! (Really like pets).

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.

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.

Joanne was great! She did a wonderful job taking care of our girls, having a fun evening together, and they were fast asleep when we got home from a much needed evening out. She was exactly who we needed to take care of our little girls for the evening!

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 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.

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!

Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I have over three years of experience working with children in a preschool setting. 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. Working with children is something I truly enjoy because I love watching them reach new milestones and develop their unique personalities. I strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to explore the world around them. 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.
