Find experienced child care providers in Castaic, CA

Growing up in a big family I was always around children! In addition to having a lot of younger cousins my parents had decided to have my two younger sisters. There is a 15 and 17 year age gap between me and them. As an older sister I was always willing to watch my siblings when my parents could not. When I first started babysitting I had the pleasure of nannying a family that had 5 children, the oldest being 13 and the youngest being 2 years old. Throughout my time as a nanny/babysitter I have cared for children ranging from 6 months to 13 years old. I do really enjoy taking care of these kids! Everyday is different and it is so amazing to see the world through their eyes.

Hi there! Welcome to my profile! :) my name is Michelle and I am currently living in Santa Clarita. I just moved back in January from being in North Carolina for the past 2 and 1/2 years. While out there, I was a nanny for a few families (had to leave a family due to moving too far away) and also babysat for a few other families as well. I worked with kids, aged 4 months to 10 years old. Before moving out there, I was a nanny here and I was also working at an after school center. Some of the tasks from nannying and my other jobs included (but were not limited to) light cleaning, cooking, organizing, helping the kids with their homework and putting them to bed. I have worked for families that own pets (cats/ dogs/ fish) and absolutely love it so I can help out with little tasks for pets if you need the extra help! I sometimes worked late nights, after the kids were asleep, if needed so the parent(s) could go out or pick up an extra shift at work. I’d love to work with a family that I can become a part of and plan to work long term with (at least 6 months+). I am also available for date nights/ late nights as I love to help out in any way possible! If I seem like a good fit for your family, I’d love to get in contact with you. Hope to hear from you in the near future!

Hi everyone! My name is Lucia and I am Argentinian 🇦🇷 I have over 10 years of experience with babysitting children of different ages, including toddlers and newborns. I have worked as a home manager and assisted with pick-ups, housekeeping, cooking & laundry. 🫧 I also have some pet sitting and tutoring experience.

I'd describe my personality as honest, reliable, and very attentive. I stay calm in busy or stressful situations and make sure things are handled and running smoothly. I like working with kids because how they're treated when they're young really shapes who they become. I grew up in a structured environment with strong values, and that's something I bring into how I care for others. I've worked with kids from a young age, helping care for my younger brother and later babysitting for family friends and relatives, so I'm comfortable with different ages and situations. Being a team captain for a girls' tennis team also helped me build leadership skills and confidence managing groups. In my spare time, I enjoy makeup, crafts, staying active, volunteering and being outdoors. I'm naturally energetic and enjoy bringing a fun, positive energy that kids connect with. I'm very observant and adaptable, and I enjoy creating simple, interactive activities that keep kids engaged and involved.

Hi my name is Heather. I am a stay at home mom of four kids, a wife of 26 years, and a dog mom to a labradoodle named Tinkerbell. My kids are 19, 17, 14 and 11. Prior to being a mom I loved working at a Child Care center called Sunshine for 6 years and then I worked at a local private school called Legacy Private Academy as a 2nd and 4th grade Assistant Teacher. At both Legacy and Sunshine I learned to get down on a child’s level, using positive reinforcement to mold and shape kids with love and positivity. I am careful to give clear expectations and to anticipate potential behavioral issues and catch them before they start. (An example of this would be giving a five minute warning if our play is coming to an end, to avoid a transition meltdown, when playing playdoh setting expectations before playing as far and how to use the playdoh appropriately etc. I love kids and enjoy playing with them and learning together. I l appreciate going to the park and helping children with their homework, and reading books or playing games. My kids are getting older and I now have time to work again. You name it I have done it all from rocking colicky babies, potty training , to teaching four kids their alphabet, sight words and how to read. I have focused on character development with my kids molding them with self control, honesty, patience, kindness etc. I also model that same character, being someone who shows patience, compassion and being reliable in my life. I’m looking forward to soaking in some sweet kids from newborn and up. Please let me know your routine and guidelines, I will be happy to honor your wishes and follow them. I am mature and dependable, I will be careful to not be distracted by my phone as my attention will be on your little one. I am very safety conscious. I am CPR certified and live scanned happy to do a background check and references available. I look forward to hearing from you!
