Profile Image: features me and my nephew whose parents have given permission for the use of this photo. ——————— I don’t am a passionate childcare professional (taught K-8 Art and 7/8 History) who fosters nurturing, engaging, and inclusive environments where children can thrive. With a background in teaching and curriculum development for young learners, I prioritize hands-on, creative experiences that meet the unique needs of every child. My expertise includes crafting individualized lesson plans, using trauma-informed approaches, and promoting social-emotional learning through art and play. I value strong communication with families and collaboration to create a supportive community for children. In my free time, I enjoy rock climbing, hiking, painting in the park, crafting, and visiting museums—activities that reflect my love for creativity, exploration, and making meaningful connections with the world around me. I am also currently a full-time student at SFSU, getting my M.A. in History. Fluent in English and Spanish, I bring a multicultural approach to childcare that supports diverse and inclusive experiences (by exposing a child to a new language, you open neural pathways that aid in speech, cognitive ability, and overall communication).

Hi! My name is Sheyda, and I’m based in Orange County. I offer reliable and caring babysitting services, and I truly enjoy working with children of all ages. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’m patient, responsible, and love creating a fun and safe environment—whether that’s helping with homework, doing crafts, playing games, or keeping a consistent routine. I always try to make sure kids feel comfortable and happy while in my care. I can also help with light household tasks such as meal prep, tidying up, and organizing. If needed, I’m happy to assist with school pick-ups, activities, or errands. I take safety very seriously and always make sure children are supervised and well cared for. I’m dependable, easy to communicate with, and flexible with scheduling. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide a positive, trustworthy babysitting experience!

Hi, I’m Marta. I first came to Orange County from Europe (Poland) as an au pair, and caring for kids has remained part of my life ever since, from family and friends’ children to working with kids, teenagers and students in Los Angeles. I genuinely enjoy young people. I’m curious about what interests them, love encouraging their creativity and confidence, and I’m equally comfortable being playful or providing structure when they need it. I recently moved back to Orange County and would love to connect with a few local families who want someone mature, dependable, warm and actually engaged with their kids. I also happen to be a great cook, love art, culture and exploring the world, and speak both English and Polish. Most importantly, I want kids to feel safe, comfortable and happy being themselves around me.

I am very caring and loving. I also have some experience with special needs kids. I love to be outside and go for walks and I will be a mommy helper if need too. I will have a screen free approach unless parents say otherwise. I do work at a preschool so I have experience working with multiple kids at a time. I am also CPR & First Aid certified. Interview wise I am happy with in person, FaceTime or call. If you have anymore questions don’t hesitate to ask I will be happy to answer. I hope you consider me!! :)

Hi, I’m Rachelle! I offer dependable, engaging childcare and pet care with a strong mix of personal and professional experience. I’ve cared for children of all ages, including hands-on experience with my 11 nieces and nephews (ages 1–15). I currently provide ongoing care for a 13-year-old, including overnight stays when needed, so I’m comfortable with both daytime routines and nighttime responsibilities. My background includes a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and a Master’s in Criminal Justice focused on juvenile development, along with 14 years of service in the U.S. Navy. This has shaped my reliability, structure, and ability to connect with and mentor kids of all ages. I also have training through therapy school, which helps me communicate effectively with children and adolescents. I love incorporating creativity, sports, and music into my time with kids. I grew up playing trumpet, baseball, and softball, and enjoy keeping children active and engaged. In addition to childcare, I have over 25 years of experience caring for pets, including administering medication and supporting animals with special needs. I’m happy to help with occasional or part-time care, including overnights, and always aim to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment for your family.
