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!

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.

Giang was extremely responsive and dependable throughout the process. She connected wonderfully with my 3‑year‑old son, who truly enjoyed spending time with her. I felt confident in her care and highly recommend her services to other families.

Hello! My name is Ivonne Marquez and I live in Anaheim. I am 25 years old and I have around 4 years of paid experience. I have had the most wonderful experiences with the families I’ve worked with and it has been so rewarding seeing their little ones grow up. I have experience mostly with 1-3 year olds but have also have experience with older kids. I also have been a designated homeschool teacher for a whole school year, so homework help and tutoring is not a problem. I am comfortable with small children the youngest I cared for has been 9 months and my goal is always for them to be entertained, be taken care of,and to be safe. I gladly stick to any rules parents set with their children and understand when a parent trusts me with their kids it’s a huge deal so I take care of them like if they were my own. I am CPR/ First AID / AED certified, fluent in Spanish, have my own transportation and am really easy to get along both with parents and their children. I respect any precautions that may be needed coming into your home . I can provide negative Covid-19 test results and vaccine record if needed. Also references can be provided upon request. I don’t travel with families on vacations

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.

(Check down below) ⬇️ For availability dates I’m a sincerely 31 female year old individual. I’m looking to help mothers watching / caring as a responsible caregiver. I have experienced care taking of infants-toddlers as well also (special needs) and teenagers from family member and also friends. I engaged with learning activities, playtime, arts/crafts, help with naps, snacks/meals, diapers change, bottles, etc. If you have any small house cleaning, I don’t mind helping out as well or fold laundry.

( Need referrals, feel free to ask) . :) So if you have any house ground rules, please provide them or general information. I have CPR certification and First Aid certification upon request.** I understand meeting in person would answer many more questions, so contact me so we can set an appointment. I will respond in quick timely matter. Thank you for your time! 😊 So please contact me for any future dates and confirm your day, thanks!

Cristin is an amazing sitter. She always goes above and beyond what is asked. She has the patience and understanding that is required in working with kids. She has always been very attentive and kind and that’s why my son loves her so much. She has watched him while we’ve worked, gone on vacation and she’s vacationed with us as well. Shes super dependable, trustworthy and communicative. Shes watched my son for over 2 years, although the need isn’t as much now that’s he’s in school he still asks for her and gets super happy the times she’s needed.

Hi! My name is Isabel and I have been doing caretaking as a part time job for over 5 years now. I have experience from all age ranges and multiple kiddos at a time. I genuinely love to do this every so often as a way to connect with myself. It helps me be creative and kind, I appreciate that feeling the most. I understand the needs of a family very early on and am able to connect with children almost immediately. I am trustworthy, kind spirited, and approach things from a nurturing perspective. I have CPR training and worked as a RBT, I sometimes like to implement that training when it comes to behaviors. Overall, I believe in patience and love to take care of kids!

Joseph took care of my two year old son full time for 5 months and then occasionally thereafter once my son transitioned to Pre-K. I can't say enough positive things about Joseph. Joseph took the time to model empathy and patience for my son and he understands how to deal with challenging behaviors in a gentle way. My son felt very comfortable around Joseph and always looked forward to when he could see him next. Joseph kept my son engaged in educational activities with a play-based learning style. His knowledge and expertise from his education as an Early Childhood Education specialist shows in the care he provided for my son. Joseph was very flexible with pick up/drop off times and he was always open to taking my son on excursions to the museum or park. Highly recommend Joseph for your childcare needs!

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!
