I have been working as a care giver since I was 13 years old, so about 13 years ago. I began babysitting as a favor for family friends and started to love what I was doing. I love the experience I get for my own future and the happiness it can bring families. Most recently, I was a full time nanny for 4 years for 4 children. I am CPR, AED, and first aid certified.

Orelle was very professional and on time. She was great with my high needs baby. Her voice calmed him right away. I plan to hire Orelle again. Thank you so much Orelle!

Hello Parents, I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) sitter with over 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers, including those with special needs. In addition to babysitting, I also work as a Household Manager, Nanny, Pet Sitter, and House Sitter, offering well-rounded support for busy families. My approach is simple: a balance of engaging play and calm structure. I prioritize safety above all, while following your household routines to provide consistency and stability. Most importantly, I focus on creating a positive, nurturing environment so children feel happy, comfortable, and secure while you’re away. I enjoy activities like reading, crafts, outdoor play, and creative projects, and I’m always happy to support homework and learning. I can also assist with meal prep, light housekeeping, school pick-ups/drop-offs, swimming supervision, and travel if needed. I have over 60 excellent reviews and references from families I’ve worked with. I am CPR and First Aid certified, a non-smoker, non-drinker, and I have reliable transportation. I truly love what I do—I enjoy connecting with children, telling stories, singing, and making everyday moments fun and meaningful. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and support your daily routine. Flavia “Let me make your life easier”

Flavia was amazing and surpassed expectations. She pivoted smoothly when my daughter didn't nap. She was engaging to my child. I was confident and comfortable when I left. Great with the dog, too. Highly recommended for her communication, kind heart, and flexibility.

Hi! My name is Eva, and I'm a 20-year-old nursing student who genuinely loves working with children. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable while giving parents peace of mind. I have over two years of paid babysitting experience with families outside of my own, along with several years of caring for children of family and friends. I've worked with children ranging from 10 months old through high school and am comfortable caring for multiple children at once. Whether it's helping with homework, playing games, preparing simple meals, sticking to bedtime routines, or keeping little ones entertained, I'm happy to adapt to each family's needs. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and CPR certified, and my nursing education has given me valuable knowledge in child safety, communication, and responding calmly in unexpected situations. I'm dependable, patient, organized, and committed to providing reliable, compassionate care that families can trust.

Eva was the first non-family member to babysit our 1 year old. Finding someone we trusted was scary, but she came recommended from a friend and we loved her. I felt comfortable with her right off the bat. Her knowledge and experience working with babies is amazing. She just "gets" what she needs to do without any hesitation or worry. She was so confident (but not in a cocky way) which eased any uncertainty, and the fact that she is in school to be a nurse was a HUGE bonus. We would trust her with our baby girl over and over again. I highly (highly, highly, highly...) recommend!!
