Florencia was my part-time nanny/sitter for almost a year. She stayed with my 2 kids during overnight while I worked the night shift. She is caring, trustworthy, punctual, reliable, and great with kids. She would also walk and care for my dogs on occasion (without me asking). I trusted her to drop my kids/pick them up from school, and she also took them to do fun activities. My kids love her and I never worried about them when she was with them. My eldest has ADHD and can be challenging, and Florencia did well with her setting boundaries and being kind but firm. 100% recommend!

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.

Lori was an absolutely amazing help to our family when we visited California for a family wedding. She took on three consecutive LONG days with two toddlers like a champ. Not only did she bring a great attitude and loving energy but she also thought ahead and brought a wagon and toys and was completely in tune with the boys’ needs. Highly recommend her for your next sitter job!!

Patricia has been an important part of our family for almost 2 years, caring for our son since he was 6 months old. Patricia has consistently demonstrated dedication, skill and compassion in her role, making her an invaluable asset to our household. She has always made our son’s safety her highest priority and her creativity and enthusiasm for crafts has brought lots of joy to our son’s life. Patricia established a reliable and consistent routine, including daily trips to the park and tending to a vegetable garden. We are so thankful for everything Patricia has done for our son and our family. It is quite difficult to say goodbye, but she has done an exceptional job preparing our son for his next adventure at school.

Bresnia was a wonderful caregiver to our daughter between the ages of 2 and 3. She is very kind, loving and playful and cared for our daughter with true tenderness. Bresnia was so imaginative, energetic and playful and we could see that our daughter was always laughing and having so much fun with her. She was very conscientious and always made sure to check with us to ensure she was following our schedule and our preferences. We highly recommend her as a caregiver.

Auvin H., Nanny in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688 with 11 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m a caring, energetic, and dependable person who genuinely loves working with kids! I grew up taking care of children in my neighborhood, which led to years of babysitting for many wonderful families. I also have several years of experience as a summer camp counselor, where I supported children in both group activities and one-on-one care. My experience is in childcare, youth programming, and recreational supervision. I’ve helped plan and lead age-appropriate activities, managed group dynamics, ensured safety in active environments, and supported children in building confidence, creativity, and social skills. I recently graduated from school, where I developed strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills that I use in every role I take on. I also hold the following certifications: Standard First Aid, CPR-C (Child & Infant CPR), AED Certification, and Child Safety & Supervision Training. These help me provide a safe, responsible, and prepared environment for children in my care. Outside of childcare, I currently work in a fast-paced, people-facing service role, which has strengthened my responsibility, time management, adaptability, and ability to work well under pressure. I love being outdoors, staying active, doing creative activities, and making everyday moments fun! Most importantly, I want every child I care for to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and completely themselves. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone, and I always treat that responsibility with kindness, patience, and care.

Auvin is an incredible sitter! She is caring, on time and very organized. She provided me with a menu of services she provides, her full schedule and her rate based on the job I needed. She was able to help me early in the morning get the kids ready for school and get them in the car for daycare. She also was able to help with some light housekeeping I needed done as well. I’m so grateful we found her!

Dawn has been with our family full time for over 2 years. Our kids were 7 months and 2 when she started. I can't say enough great things about our time with her. She's like a true Mary Poppins. Teaching the kids, taking them on adventures, helping at home with cleaning and meal prep for the family, doing laundry and helping out in other ways. Our kids love her, always happy to see her for hugs. She brings them surprises and kept them entertained and engaged. As our kids transition into school, they are advanced in so many ways due to the care and teaching at home with Dawn. We sadly had to let her go due to our situation changing with kids in school and mom's work schedule changing. Dawn is truly a gem among nannies, and I highly recommend her. We had 4 nannies prior to her, and felt so lucky to have found her and worked with someone so experienced, nurturing, and helpful when our lives were at peak stress.
