Meet college nannies and sitters from Orange Coast College

Hello! I’m Taylaquay (Tay or Tayla) I’m currently a part time student majoring in Political Science! I have about 6 years of experience working with children! I’m experienced with infants and toddlers, really anywhere from newborns to 16 years. I enjoy volunteering my time back to the youth by coaching my local basketball and baseball little leagues. I’m very productive, a good communicator, and very dependable. My availability is flexible and I’m readily available when needed (emergencies, last minute date nights, etc) and I’m able to come earlier or stay longer than the times provided. I don’t mind doing house chores, running errands, or doing laundry. I’m fully vaccinated and can show proof of vaccination. I’m Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED-BL certified and I can also provide references *upon request* 😊

Hi! My name is Michelle. I have over 15 years of experience working with children, from newborns to 12 years old. My background includes 10 years in daycare and preschool settings, along with 5 years as a professional nanny. Most of my nanny experience has been with infants under 12 months old, but I truly enjoy working with toddlers and older children as well — engaging them in fun, developmentally appropriate, and enriching activities tailored to their age and personality. I am currently working full-time with a family and am looking to pick up additional hours on weekends or for date nights. I’m happy to provide reliable, consistent care for families who need occasional support. I also offer pet-sitting services if needed. My childcare style is gentle yet firm — calm, patient, and attentive, while still being playful and engaging. I value creating a nurturing, structured environment where children feel safe, respected, and encouraged to explore and grow at their own pace. Certifications & Background: • Bilingual in Korean and English • Background in Early Childhood Education • Completed coursework in Child Development • CPR certified • TrustLine registered I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little one. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! Warm regards, Michelle

My name is Brooklyn; I moved to Texas from out of state. I am currently an accounting manager for a nonprofit. I am available for after-work and weekend childcare. While living in San Diego, CA, I babysat for several families. I did after-school pickup and drop off at sports for two siblings for one family, and then I did weekend babysitting for another family with two siblings. In addition to babysitting, I assisted in teaching summer dance and cheer programs for three years, I took a couple of child development classes in high school and college, volunteered to help a preschool class a few times a year at the preschool my mother worked at, and nannied a 1-year-old for a year. I also help my sister with her 6 year old twins. I have extensive knowledge of everything Disney does, know a bit about sports, and am up-to-date on kids' shows. I'm fun and energetic and love to be active and engaging. *For pet owners, please inform me if you have a cat. I am deathly allergic.*

I have been helping out with children of all ages for as long as I can remember, and still genuinely enjoy it! My experience includes nannying for over twenty years (newborns to teenagers, including multiples and siblings), household management, extensive babysitting, tutoring students from kindergarten to high school, teaching small classes, camp counseling, organizing and chaperoning birthday parties, traveling with families to help out during work trips and vacations, various volunteer work in between, plus the incomparable experience of being the oldest sister, and I became a foster parent in 2023. Having worked one-on-one with kids and managed parties of up to 30 has been great exposure to the million-and-one sides of a child, helping me better handle any situation thrown my way. I love to get down on the floor and play, but also know when to step back or step in as the adult—it’s that fine balance between play, patience, and positive direction. I am adept at figuring out which development and engagement styles work best for each individual child, with some of my personal favorite activities including outside time and walks, scavenger hunts, all kinds of crafting, puzzles, games, music, singing, mini dance parties, and reading together as much as possible. My most recent family experiences were focused on infants and toddlers, so I have an especially strong grasp of development appropriate activities for little ones. An important side note: I am vaccine conscientious and stay up-to-date on all recommended inoculations. I am certified to foster medically fragile babies and children, so prefer to work with families who are fully vaccinated (for applicable ages). If you've made it this far and think we'd mesh well, please feel free to reach out about availability and let's chat.

Hi my name is Azul and I am a full time student at Orange Coast College. I am offering child care. I love babysitting and have been since was about 13.

Hello, My name is Sadie, I am 19 years old and am currently studying early childhood education at Orange Coast College. I live in Newport Beach, across from the Back Bay and graduated from Newport Harbor High School. I worked for 5+ years as a childcare provider for a local family of three boys (ranging in ages from 4-9), assisting with light house cleaning, meal preparation, and transporting to activities. I also have interned at the Environmental Nature Center as an assistant for the early childhood program (Little Naturalists and Mini Naturalists) and summer camp. I have two rescue dogs and can assist with meal preparation, walks, and medication for family pets. I am not familiar with caring for cats but am open to learning and love all animals. In my spare time I enjoy doing art, sewing, crocheting, etc. I enjoy creating activities for children and encourage outdoor time. I look forward to meeting you and your families!

Please note: I have over 10 reviews (all 5-stars) on another platform which I can share. (I’m new to this platform.) My goal for the children I care for is that they are excited to see me and know that I have a genuine interest in getting to know them. As someone who studied Early Childhood Development and has 20 years experience, I deeply understand respect must be given to children to receive it back and trust is earned. I make sure every family I work for has peace of mind when their children are in my care. I am punctual and committed to keeping my promises to maintain a smooth flow for everyone. And, I like to have fun with kids; playing games, art, dancing, laughing, etc. Any child I provide long term care for, I attempt to build a relationship with them that positively influences their lives.
