Hello, my name is Debbie. I’m 28 years old. I was born and raised in Santa Ana and I come from a big family. I’ve had experience babysitting children since I was a teenager. From cousins, to my siblings, to now my nieces and nephews. I enjoy being active with kids and helping them learn about life. Im a full time student at Cal State Fullerton University and my plan is to eventually teach elementary students. I currently work as an Instructional Provider in Santa Ana Unified School District where I work with elementary students kinder through 5th grade. I spend my afternoon mentoring them, helping them with homework, tutoring them but most importantly supporting them through their life. I enjoy it and I get to create bonds with these kids that help shape them into good kids and eventually great disciplined people. With up to 15 years of experience with kids please consider me for your next babysitting job. I’ve also been with sittercity for 5 years now and I understand how difficult I can be to choose a babysitter you can trust. I’ve gotten to know so many beautiful families and kids. And they’ve said I’m very trustworthy and helpful. I charge between $20-21 an hour depending on the families situation. Thank you for your time In learning about me and have a super awesome day! -Debbie

I have been babysitting for over 10 years, beginning with a job as a mother's helper. I have since then babysat for over 40 families, with children of ages ranging from newborn to 15. I recently graduated with a BA in Psychology, and much of my coursework was focused on child development. I am now going back for my Masters, and love to babysit for some extra cash while putting myself through school.

My name is Megan! I'm an eighteen year old girl who graduated from high school and taking a gap year for college in August and seeking for a part-time job. I love kids, enjoy playing with them, helping out with homework, and getting kids to bed on time. I have worked at two preschools for experience and work a summer camp two summers in a row as well. I'm different than other sitters by doing activities with the kids and getting outside to enjoy the sun instead of just on being on electronics the whole day or night.
