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.

Isabel G., Nanny in Placentia, CA 92870 with 5 years of paid experience

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!

Babysitting brings me so much joy because it allows me to connect with children in a unique way. I love watching their imaginations come to life as we play games, read stories, and explore new activities together. It's rewarding to be a positive influence in their lives, helping them learn and grow while creating a safe and fun environment. The laughter and joy that fill the room when I'm with them remind me of the simple pleasures in life, and I cherish those moments of pure happiness.

Fai A.

has been absolutely wonderful. She follows every guideline we provide for our baby with great care and consistency, and it gives us real peace of mind knowing our instructions are respected. She always puts in her best effort, is cheerful and kind, and creates such a positive environment. Most importantly, our baby genuinely loves spending time with her, which says so much about the care and comfort she provides. She is trustworthy, dependable, and truly amazing overall. We feel very fortunate to have found someone who cares for our child with such patience, warmth, and dedication.

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!

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.

I currently work as a head teacher at a Spanish private program, and have experience working in a Montessori school. This allowed me to obtain experience working with all group ages. I am a fluent Spanish speaker and I graduated at CSUN with BA in Deaf Studies, with the goal to in the future become an ASL interpreter. My job has allowed me to experience working with students of different age groups, giving me the experience to handle different kinds of situations.

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.

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!
