Meet college nannies and sitters from University of California Irvine

Hello! My name is Mila and I'm a recent college graduate living with my cat, Blanca. I love art, cooking and fashion. My hobby at the moment is doing nail art, so sometimes you'll see me with funky nails on; red is my favorite color, but I love blue as well! I love being a babysitter, and have been babysitting since I was 18 (at times 16 and younger!). I've had a lot of experience with all ages, but I find I'm my best with toddlers and young teens. I've also been working at a babysitter company for around 4 years on and off. Throughout my time as a babysitter, I've learned what it means to be patient, resilient, and kind, especially to the most misunderstood. As a passionate artist myself, I love the words "creativity" and "color." When kids want to dive into a creative atmosphere and get their hands messy, I'm sure to help them imagine it. But that's not all– when it comes to tutoring, reading sessions, daytime walks to the park or around the neighborhood, I'm happy to socialize and keep them moving along. With over two years of experience for children with autism (both verbal and non-verbal), I am prepared to take on any challenges associated with babysitting. Kids deserve to have their voices heard, and I want to make sure that they are able to express how they feel with a helping hand. I'm learning how to drive at the moment, so I'll handle driving in the future hopefully! Thank you for reading!

Hello, my name is Audrey and I have been a nanny for the past 10+ years. I received my bachelor's degree in Psychology and Social Behavior and I enjoy working with children ages 1+ year(s) and like providing children independence in what they do.

Hi! My name is Skylar, and I’m a recent UC Irvine graduate. I have several years of babysitting experience and have cared for children ranging from infants as young as 6 months to teens up to 17 years old. I enjoy adapting to each child’s needs, whether that’s playing, reading, helping with homework, or being a supportive and fun companion. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housework, meal prep, and keeping things organized. I also have experience working at a dog adoption center and caring for pets of all sizes, plus I grew up with dogs myself. I love playing games of all kinds, board games, outdoor games, and even video games, and I especially enjoy making learning fun, particularly with math. Families often tell me they appreciate that I’m responsible, caring, and always ready to keep kids engaged and happy in a safe environment.

Dual-Service Childcare & Household Professional! My name is Carly, and I’m equally passionate about caring for children as I am about creating a well-run, tidy home. I’m a Bay Area native and a single mother by choice to a wonderful 4-year-old daughter. After many years working in tech, I’ve returned to my roots in hands-on care, with previous experience as both a nanny and lifeguard. Supporting families in their homes is where I truly thrive. As a parent, I understand firsthand the mental load that comes with keeping a household running; meals, laundry, groceries, activities, organization, errands, and making sure the kids are happy and engaged. My goal is to step in, anticipate needs, and take meaningful tasks off your plate so your home and family life can run a little more smoothly. I approach my work from a safety-first angle, while also being dependable, proactive, and organized. I have sound judgment and value transparent communication. I bring warmth and attentiveness to childcare, along with a practical, thoughtful approach to household support. I’m currently accepting childcare-only roles, household support roles, or a combination of both, depending on the child(s) schedule. I have limited availability for recurring commitments, with greater flexibility for ad-hoc or occasional support. I’m happy to share my rates, résumé, and references. I look forward to connecting with families who could use an extra set of capable, caring hands!

Hello, my name is Rana! I’m 24 years old and I recently graduated from pharmacy school. I hope to keep up with babysitting as I prepare for my board exams and navigate my main career. I have prior experience babysitting for kids ages 3-13. I love spending time with kids and I’m very extroverted, so I know how to keep them entertained! I’m dedicated to making sure they have a fun, safe, and healthy time. I can assist with their studies, arts/ crafts, cleaning, playtime, light cooking, and preparing for bedtime. I also have two 2 cats and prior cat-sitting experience as well. My schedule is flexible so I’m mostly available anytime throughout the week with prior notice. I’m also CPR certified, can administer injections/ help with giving medications if needed, and am mental health first aid certified as well!

Hi! I’m Jocelyn, a student at UC Irvine with experience working with children in a variety of settings. As a former swim instructor, I’ve worked with kids of all ages, helping them build confidence while always putting safety first. Through that role, I received CPR training and was previously CPR certified, giving me a strong foundation in emergency response. I’ve also volunteered at an elementary school, where I supervised and supported children in a positive and encouraging environment, and participated in youth programs that strengthened my leadership and communication skills. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, reading stories, or spending time outdoors, I strive to create a fun, safe, and caring environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I understand how important trust is when choosing a caregiver, and I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and someone families can count on. I look forward to meeting your family and providing a fun, safe, and positive experience for your children!

Hi! I am a 2025 graduate from UC Irvine, hoping to find a family I can babysit/nanny for on consistent basis during my gap year before law school. I am 23- years old and have 8 years of babysitting and nannying experience for younger children aged 6 months-13 years old, with experience nannying up to 3 children under my care at a time. I was a certified lifeguard at Sequoia Country Club for two years and worked at the child care center there during that time where I was responsible for the needs and safety of up to 15 children at a time. I also have over 500 hours of community service as a reading tutor for elementary school kids through the programs Reading Buddies and Reading Partners. I have also worked with children with disabilities as a respite care professional while in college. I love kids and would be happy to do school/ summer camp pickup and drop off, do fun crafts and games, and take them to the park. I have a 2020 model Tiguan Volkswagen with three rows of seats that will make it easy for me to go to and from your house. I also have my CPR and First Aid qualifications.

Hello my name is Hai and I am 50 years young. I come from a family of immigrants who came to the U. S. in 1975 after the Vietnam war. At that time there were 11 members in my family which included my parents and 8 siblings. I was the second youngest child. In 2008 my baby sister passed away from colon cancer when she was only 32. She was a second grade teacher at Lampson Elementary in the Orange Unified School District and loved her students. She won teacher of the year around 2005. She also loved all of our 12 nieces and nephews. We both shared a deep affection for kids. I became an uncle when I was only 10 after my first and oldest niece was born. She is now 40, and has a 2 year young son and a newborn boy. I remember holding her when she was a newborn and she fell asleep in my arms. That was the start of my love and journey with kids. Because of having so many older siblings I have a total of 12 nieces and nephews. I took care of and played with all of them when they were little, so I have many years of experience watching kids. I’m kind, patient, and nurturing. For the past 11 years I’ve been a volunteer with a nonprofit organization called Linc, where I am a mentor at an after school program for kids between kindergarten and 7th grade. I serve them snacks, help them with their homework, and play fun activities with them, including reading, art projects, and games. I won volunteer of the year in 2015. My supervisor at the program loves me and is one of my closest friends. If you need a reference or letter of recommendation from her I would be happy to oblige. I am a kind and responsible individual that you can trust to take care of your loved ones.
