Meet college nannies and sitters from California State University - Fullerton

Hi! My name is Ryan. I am 22 years old and I am currently an undergraduate student at Cal State Fullerton for my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I am offering child care and pet care! I am a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT) with over two years of experience working with children with autism and other developmental disabilities. I use ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy techniques to help kids build new skills, reach their goals, and improve daily behaviors in a clinic or home setting. This work has taught me patience, empathy, and how to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. Before becoming an RBT, I spent years as a competitive dancer since age 3 and later worked as an assistant dance teacher for children ages 4–12. I love bringing creativity, movement, and play into my time with kids to keep things fun and engaging. I grew up in Palm Springs but now live in Orange County, and I occasionally visit my hometown, so I’m open to jobs in both areas. I’m also happy to provide pet care! My family has a beagle, and I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, and playtime (cats included!). I’m comfortable caring for large animals too. Outside of work, I love music, dancing, festivals, concerts, fashion, shopping, arts and crafts, reading, movies, and anything creative. I’d describe myself as outgoing and adventurous, with a genuine passion for helping others and learning new things.

I have a history of caring for people throughout my entire life. I started babysitting and doing art projects with my neighbor's children at the age of 13. I was the kid who taught all the other kids to draw, waterski, and help with chores. I was a traveling nanny for five children, moving around with the family during the summers for their vacations and working at home with them for one full year. I cooked for them, took them to events, and entertained them; I drove them all over for sightseeing outings and managed all their needs. It was a big job and I was only 18. I went on to house-sit and provide child care for many friends and neighbors over the years. I also house-sit and pet-sit for many clients. I started my own pet-sitting service while working at a pet store when I was 19. I became a gallery salesperson at the age of 19 and soon began attending community college, where I completed my general ed towards my BFA. I then moved to Paris, France, for a year to further my studies. After graduating with my BFA, I pursued a career as an art center director, curator, and exhibitions coordinator. I raised two sons, one from birth and the second I adopted when he was 15. I was the carpool parent, the extra special event parent, the yummy snack parent, and the art and museum experience parent. I also directed an art center for 11 years, during which I created an after-school arts and academic education program serving elementary through high school at-risk youth. I went on to direct non-profit museum spaces, work as a college professor with community college students, and freelance as an exhibition coordinator and curator for a U.S. exhibition touring, serving a world-renowned artist. I continued to help elderly friends in need, care for children, and house- and pet-sit. I am the friend most people call on for choices, errands, childcare, help when someone is sick, rides, fun, adventure, hikes, house repairs, or care, and help in general. I enjoy helping people, and I am very good at it. I am 57 years young and have spent my life caring for people, as my career and life have blossomed.

Hi, I’m Shay. I’m a dependable, patient, and attentive childcare provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience working as a date night sitter, occasional sitter, and live-in nanny, as well as in school settings, summer camps, and after-school programs. Over the years, I’ve supported more than 100 families, come highly recommended, and can provide strong references upon request. I have experience working with children across a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and abilities, including children with disabilities and diverse support needs. I adapt easily to each child’s individual personality, learning style, and routine, and I bring patience, structure, and flexibility to every role. I approach childcare as a partnership with families, valuing clear communication, consistency, and mutual respect. I actively engage with children through play, activities, and daily routines rather than simply supervising, and I remain calm and attentive in all situations. I’m flexible with scheduling, dependable with time, and safety-focused at all times. I’m trained in first aid and emergency preparedness, and I stay present, responsive, and engaged throughout the day. My goal is to provide reliable, thoughtful care that gives parents peace of mind and gives children a safe, supportive, and positive environment!

Hello! I just graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a major in Child and Adolescent Studies! I am starting my teaching credential and master's program next semester. I am currently working within a school district in the IE, substitute teaching all the way from preschool to 12th grade. I love art, pets, music, playing outdoors, and so much more! I am on summer break right now and have a lot of availability, but once the school year starts up, I won't have as much. I would love to support your children as well as you!

Hi! My name is Victoria, I’m 29 years old, and I’m a graduate of California State University, Fullerton with a degree in History. My background is in secondary education, and I’ve always had a deep passion for working with children. I have four years of nannying experience with kids ranging in age from 4 to 18, and I find so much joy in supporting both their academic and creative development. I believe childhood enrichment is incredibly important, and I love incorporating fun and educational activities into daily routines. As an artist who enjoys drawing and painting, I’m always excited to share those skills with children and encourage their creativity. I’m also available to tutor in a wide range of school subjects, including help with homework, projects, and essay writing. In addition to childcare, I’m a huge animal lover! I have two cats and one dog of my own, all of whom I’ve raised since they were young. I’d be happy to help care for family pets as part of my role. My goal as a nanny is simple: to make your life easier. Whether that means running errands, assisting with pet care, helping with older family members, or creating a safe, structured, and engaging environment for your children—I’m here to support your family however I can.

I bring over a year of experience in babysitting, complemented by a degree in Sociology. For the past six years, I’ve worked as an after-school teacher, where I specialized in providing homework support, maintaining a well-managed classroom environment, and—most importantly—building strong, positive relationships with children. Currently, I am in my second year of nursing school, which has further strengthened my sense of responsibility, patience, and ability to remain calm and attentive in different situations. I truly enjoy working with children and would love the opportunity to bring my experience, reliability, and caring personality to your family. I would be happy to provide references and answer any questions you may have. Thank you for considering me!
