Liana R., Babysitter in Placentia, CA 92870 with 9 years of paid experience

Hii! I’m Liana I’ve been working with kids since I was 13 through church daycare, live-in nannying and babysitting, and I truly love it. I have experience with all age groups, including preemie infants, and have also worked with children with special needs. I’m patient, responsible, and comfortable caring for multiple children at once while keeping a safe, fun, and structured environment. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping and meal prep to make your day easier, and I aim to be someone both kids and parents can rely on. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family—hope to talk soon!

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!

Leannah M., Babysitter in Placentia, CA 92870 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.

Babysitting brings me so much joy because it allows me to connect with children in a unique way. I love watching their imaginations come to life as we play games, read stories, and explore new activities together. It's rewarding to be a positive influence in their lives, helping them learn and grow while creating a safe and fun environment. The laughter and joy that fill the room when I'm with them remind me of the simple pleasures in life, and I cherish those moments of pure happiness.

Fai A.

has been absolutely wonderful. She follows every guideline we provide for our baby with great care and consistency, and it gives us real peace of mind knowing our instructions are respected. She always puts in her best effort, is cheerful and kind, and creates such a positive environment. Most importantly, our baby genuinely loves spending time with her, which says so much about the care and comfort she provides. She is trustworthy, dependable, and truly amazing overall. We feel very fortunate to have found someone who cares for our child with such patience, warmth, and dedication.

Zoe W., Babysitter in Placentia, CA 92870 with 15 years of paid experience

Hello! I have well over a decade of childcare experience and reliable transportation for myself. I am available for work occasionally on semi weekly or monthly basis for a family of 1-3 children (for a rate of $22-35/hr). Growing up in a large family has helped me develop a skill-set that makes me an ideal babysitter candidate. I am the eldest of 7 children and helped care for my younger siblings beginning at 11 years-old. My relevant experience caring for infants began with the birth of my youngest sister when I was thirteen. Based off of my volunteer work with elementary school children in the classroom, and my recent 6+ years of experience babysitting children ranging from ages 6-month to 11, I can confidently look after and facilitate activities for children, do basic housekeeping/cooking/mealprep tasks as needed, and assist with homework or other formative learning experiences. I have assisted kids through potty-training, and bedtime routines. Since 2021, I have been babysitting on a semi weekly / as-needed basis for families in Orange County. Activities I value: reading/storytelling, listening to music, dance/movement, creating art (ex. drawing, painting, clay sculpting, etc), building/creating with objects (ex. building track routes, block structures, lego sets, playdoh, kinetic sand, etc), learning and playing board games (or other well-known games), and imaginary play. As an enthusiastic caretaker, I have proven that I am willing to be present to the task at hand. Overall, I am an articulate and responsible individual who will be a respectful guest in any family home and will value the opportunity to form a bond with your child(ren)!

Ivonne  M., Babysitter in Placentia, CA 92870 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.

I currently work as a head teacher at a Spanish private program, and have experience working in a Montessori school. This allowed me to obtain experience working with all group ages. I am a fluent Spanish speaker and I graduated at CSUN with BA in Deaf Studies, with the goal to in the future become an ASL interpreter. My job has allowed me to experience working with students of different age groups, giving me the experience to handle different kinds of situations.

Argeroula V., Babysitter in Placentia, CA 92870 with 21 years of paid experience

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.
