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.

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!

Ivonne  M., Babysitter in Whittier, CA 90604 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.

Maritza V., Babysitter in Whittier, CA 90604 with 1 year of paid experience

I’m a college student studying health sciences with a genuine love for working with kids and creating a safe, positive environment for them. I have several years of babysitting experience caring for my 8 nieces and nephews, with ages ranging from toddlers to preteens, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs—whether that’s playtime, helping with homework, or keeping things on schedule. I’m CPR and First Aid trained, reliable, patient, and attentive, and I always aim to make both kids and parents feel comfortable, supported, and confident in my care. Some of my hobbies include cooking, baking, playing games, and spending time with animals, so I’m happy to help in homes with pets. I have open availability that can meet your desired needs.

Maritza is part of our family now. We will be using her for as long as she decides to work alongside our family. She was very welcoming in our initial interview and even though we have only just started with her. My wife, Mother in law and sister in law who have meet her all say the same thing, she brings an an energy of positivity and trust.

My name is Iayana and I'm a 21 year old High School graduate and Dental assistant. I'm a reliable and caring babysitter with experience caring for children of all ages because I've taken care of siblings, cousins and family friends. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment through activities like games, crafts, and reading, while also helping with routines such as meals, homework, and bedtime. Safety, patience, and responsibility are always my top priorities. I can update parents throughout the day on what the kids are doing and send pictures if wanted. I'm also very strict with whatever parents say the rules are.

Nanette is the best sitter we've ever had!! She is the only person outside of my family that I have felt 100% comfortable leaving my daughter with. She always knows what to do and you can tell that she's a great mom, which is very important in my opinion! Nanette also looks after our dog when we're out of town, and every time she comes to pick her up, our dog gets overly excited. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nanette to anyone!

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!

Argeroula V., Babysitter in Whittier, CA 90604 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.

Hello, my name is Kuei Mei Chen (I go by Carol Chen).
