I am a warm, reliable pediatric occupational therapy professional, child development specialist and mom to a 15 month old girl dedicated to creating a safe, engaging, and enriching environment for every child in my care. I specialize in newborns and understand firsthand how vulnerable it can feel to leave your baby with someone new. I have experience caring for children from as young as 10 days old through the preteen years and that’s before I had my daughter. ☺️ My background in pediatric occupational therapy allows me to thoughtfully support developmental milestones through age-appropriate play, sensory activities, and individualized care. I am skilled in assisting with travel, sleep routines, parent education, and overnight care. During weekday daytime hours (Monday–Friday), I am seeking positions where I am able to bring my young child along. This arrangement can provide opportunities for social development, modeling, and interactive play in a small, nurturing environment while I continue to prioritize safety, structure, and each child’s unique needs. I’m open to part or full time for the right fit. I am also available for evening, weekend, overnight, and travel care without my child present, if preferred. Thank you — I look forward to connecting with your family!

Hello!! My name is Sarah and I am a sophomore at OCC. I love to learn, try new food, and to be active. I am very patient and kind. I have 1-3 years of experience working with kids of all ages, from infants to preteens, and I love engaging them in creative spaces, outdoor activities, and educational assistance. My passion is to always create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for children. Beyond babysitting, I have experience caring for pets dogs or cats. I grew up with a bunch of animals and I am always happy to be around animals of all sorts. I am very responsible and can help with household needs and assistance like cooking, light-cleaning, and bedtime routines.

I am experienced in caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I know how to feed infants, sterilize bottles, and always hold the baby after feeding. At the same time, I can take care of light household tasks, such as washing the baby’s clothes, transferring them to the dryer, and doing small cleanups like washing dishes. I am able to create a daily schedule for your child’s comfort, helping to establish a routine that also supports parents in the long term. I know many educational songs, play musical instruments, and teach children basic manners and etiquette. I can put children to sleep and gently help them transition toward independent sleep. I also know how to bathe and wash children. In addition, I can help at night when a child has colic or if parents need proper rest. I am available for additional hours with some advance notice and will always show up when needed. I am comfortable working long periods without days off, such as up to three weeks, both day and night. I strictly follow all rules and instructions provided and take my work very seriously.

Hello! I’m Sany! I recently moved back [temporarily] to Irvine to sit for the February California Bar Exam, and during this transition, I’m grateful for the opportunity to support families in my community as I look to supplement my income during this time. Childcare has been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. As one of six children and one of eighteen cousins on my father’s side alone, I grew up surrounded by kids of all ages. I helped raise or regularly babysit many of my younger siblings and cousins, which shaped my comfort, patience, and natural connection with children. I worked extensively with youth. I served as a Youth Services Staffer supporting students in 6th–8th grade, and later became a Teen Youth Coordinator working with ages 13–19. In those roles, I supported academic and personal development, planned programming, supervised groups, and created safe, positive, and inclusive spaces for learning and play. My most recent caregiving experience comes from working with multiple families throughout Chicago as I prepared to transition back to California. During that period, I cared for children ranging from 6 months to 4 years old, supporting everything from infant routines and early developmental play to toddler activities, social-emotional learning, and structured daily schedules. In addition to childcare, I have coached youth soccer and softball, which reflects my love of active play, teamwork, and encouragement. Whether a child prefers sports, reading time, crafts, video games, board games, or imaginative play, I adapt easily and meet them where they are. I love being silly, creative, and fully engaged, and I am equally comfortable providing structure and calm when needed. I hold a Juris Doctor, and my legal training developed strong communication skills, responsibility, judgment, and crisis-management ability - traits that parents value deeply when choosing a caregiver. Preparing for bar admission requires discipline, reliability, and attentiveness, all of which I bring into my work with children. Above all, I love caregiving because it allows me to build genuine, meaningful connections. I aim to create safe, joyful, and memorable experiences for every child I care for. I am known in my family as the favorite “fun-tie” — the aunt who brings imagination, warmth, and laughter into the room, and I would be honored to bring that same energy to your family.
