Hello, I'm Ariana, and I am a a college student! Looking for some fun families that need help with their little ones. I am a kid at heart and love to watch Disney movies and explore the outside world. I am enthusiastic, caring, and love able. I have worked with other families in the past and all ended with some tears in the eyes when their little ones are grown and ready for school. I am CPR certified! Fully vaccinated! And have experience with all different types of children and each with their own personality! ;)

Hii! I’m Liana I’ve been working with kids since I was 13 through church daycare, live-in nannying and babysitting, and I truly love it. I have experience with all age groups, including preemie infants, and have also worked with children with special needs. I’m patient, responsible, and comfortable caring for multiple children at once while keeping a safe, fun, and structured environment. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping and meal prep to make your day easier, and I aim to be someone both kids and parents can rely on. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family—hope to talk soon!

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! My name is Ivonne Marquez and I live in Anaheim. I am 25 years old and I have around 4 years of paid experience. I have had the most wonderful experiences with the families I’ve worked with and it has been so rewarding seeing their little ones grow up. I have experience mostly with 1-3 year olds but have also have experience with older kids. I also have been a designated homeschool teacher for a whole school year, so homework help and tutoring is not a problem. I am comfortable with small children the youngest I cared for has been 9 months and my goal is always for them to be entertained, be taken care of,and to be safe. I gladly stick to any rules parents set with their children and understand when a parent trusts me with their kids it’s a huge deal so I take care of them like if they were my own. I am CPR/ First AID / AED certified, fluent in Spanish, have my own transportation and am really easy to get along both with parents and their children. I respect any precautions that may be needed coming into your home . I can provide negative Covid-19 test results and vaccine record if needed. Also references can be provided upon request. I don’t travel with families on vacations

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.

Hi my name is Ashley! I have 16+ years experience with children of all Ages. I have my CPR/AED& FIRST AIDE CERTIFICATE. I started out as a babysitter at 14 and got a job at TLC, an after school daycare program and was working there at the age of 16. We would take the children during the summer to amusement parks like wild rivers, Knottsberry farm, Sea world, Disneyland, movie theaters and etc... so it was a lot of patience and responsibility to make sure they were safe and having fun at the same time. I absolutely loved it . After working at TLC I was offered a nanny job by one of the parents. I watched the children for a while and then they grew up like all children do hehehe I then went on to nanny after that for a three and six-year-old and just kept being a nanny. I eventually started working at Us Too Gymnasitcs for a couple of years. It is a non-profit Organization working with children that have special needs and children without any special needs.. the ages range from1& a half all the ways to 23 years old. We worked on behavior, taking turns, helping children that are non-verbal speak and we do a lot there and the parents instead of calling it an actual gym they call it a gem... so sweet. I also work as Respite care taker for special needs but the hours are on my terms. I am looking mostly for a Full-time position as a nanny or also it could be maybe 2 part-time jobs. I adore working with children. I have great references and can start immediately ....also I LOVE animals if you have any!! I am nurturing, kind, respectful, VERY patient, fun, reliable, clean, honest, creative and just a very down to earth happy person that enjoys to live life. I love the outdoors, taking children to their favorite parks, listening to music, doing arts and crafts, sports, and help with reading/homework, encouraging them and whatever the children are interested in..I'm up for it!!..Pretty much having fun happens while I'm with the kids!!! I always want to put smiles on their faces the whole time I'm with them and hopefully after I leave too hehe.. I am very flexible and like I said, I could start today or tomorrow. I am open to anything. Thank you for your time and I look forward to meeting you!! ~Ashley

Ashley was our part time nanny and I am so impressed with her knowledge of how to care for our baby. She is caring, king, enthusiastic, and capable. We learned a lot from her and recommend her to any family looking for a nanny/ house manager/ caregiver.
Isabel G.
- 5 years 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!

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.

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!
