Meet college nannies and sitters from University of California Irvine

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. I love helping children develop healthy coping skills as well as the freedom to fully express themselves. In my free time, I like to meditate, read, knit and make art. Please reach out to me with any questions you might have, I look forward to working with you and your young ones :)

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!

Hi parents! 👋 My name is Anna, I'm 26 years old, Swiss-American 🇨🇭🇺🇸, and I live in NOPA, San Francisco. I began working in childcare in 2018.

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.

Hello! My name is Rana! I’m 24 years old and I recently graduated from pharmacy school. I’m hoping to keep up with babysitting as I study for board exams and navigate my main career. I have experience babysitting toddlers/ kids among family & friends as well child-care volunteering for community events. I love spending time with kids and I’m very extroverted, so I know how to keep kids 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, and light cooking (I’m not a pro though sadly). I also have two 2 cats and prior cat-sitting experience through this app. I’m also available anytime throughout the week! I’m also CPR certified, can administer injections/ help with giving medications if needed, and am mental health first aid certified as well!

Former nanny turned mom! I’m a mom to a four-year-old daughter, and after more than a decade working in tech, I’m excited to return to a hands-on, human-centered role that feels meaningful to me. I worked as a nanny during and shortly after college, an experience that paired naturally with my degree in Psychology and Social Behavior from UC Irvine. I’m familiar with a variety of parenting approaches and believe in tailoring my care to each family’s preferences, values, and routines. I prioritize safety (emotional & physical), open communication, and sound judgment, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your children. Having been on both sides—as a nanny and as a parent who has employed a nanny—I appreciate the responsibility and trust that come with this relationship. I’m currently re-certifying in CPR (planned completion date September 22, 2026) along with the Sage Haus House Manager Certification (planned completion September 25, 2026). Outside of parenting, I love swimming, singing, art, and finding a great cup of coffee. I’d love to learn more about your family and see if we might be a good fit!

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.
