Leannah M.
- 2 years 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.

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!

I love working with children and I look forward to working with yours! I am currently looking to provide care for a family, either part time or full time. I love caring for children and watching them as they grow and develop, teaching them and allowing them to teach themselves about life and the world they live in. I have many years of experience with all ages as the eldest of four and the chosen sitter for many of my younger cousins. Newborn to three years old are my favorite and specialty but I am experienced with all ages up to 16 years old. I love playing and I am a firm believer that the best learning happens through play. When I am caring for children we dance, cook (depending on age and ability), read, paint or color, sing, and do lots of talking-regardless of age!!! I believe effective, respectful communication is needed when dealing with people of all ages, but especially children. It is important to me that a child have high self-esteem and I do what I can to foster an environment that promotes it whenever I care for children. My friends lovingly call me Cinderella because I like to clean. I am happy helping out around your house with cleaning. I can also help with homework up to and including high school level. I am open to all types of work, whether it be a regular 4+ hour shift, an occasional "Mommy and/or Daddy need(s) a couple hours alone", or a last minute "Oh my goodness! Please come save us!!!" emergency job. I am available to work in both San Gabriel Valley, Orange County, San Bernardino County and Riverside County. Looking forward to hearing how I can help your family! *Although I am "comfortable with pets", I am allergic to cats.*

We were so lucky to find Ruby! She blew us away with her interview and proved to be a great help to our family. She took excellent care of our 2 young boys while managing to still help out with our 2 older children. She cooks, cleans, provides great entertainment for our kids. The best thing about Ruby is her patience and concern for our children. She loves to keep them active and provided us with a great satisfaction. We were never worried when she was around. She was an excellent nanny with great organzational skills. We would highly recommend her to others. Whoever employs her will get 100% satisfaction!! Ruby was a blessing to our family.

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!

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 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 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.

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!
