Kaya $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Kaya! I am currently a student-athlete at Pacific Lutheran University. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have extensive experience in caregiving and providing support to others. I have worked at children’s camps through SCATS Gymnastics and the Huntington Beach Parks and Recreation summer program, where I supervised and cared for kids in a safe and positive environment. I have also babysat, driven children to and from activities, cared for pets, and house-sat while family and friends are away. As a collegiate student-athlete and nursing student, I have developed strong time management, discipline, and organizational skills. Being part of a team has taught me to be dependable, hardworking, and responsible. I am passionate about caring for others and enjoy creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment. My experience with children, pets, and household responsibilities, combined with my dedication and compassionate nature, make me a reliable and enthusiastic caregiver.

Danielle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Danielle, a mom of three with both personal and professional experience working with children of different ages, personalities, and needs. I have an Associate degree and have worked in a school setting as a Special Education Instructional Assistant. Both professionally and as a parent, I have experience supporting children with a variety of needs, including anxiety, ADHD, autism, and other developmental or behavioral differences. I understand that every child is different and may need a little extra patience, structure, encouragement, flexibility, or support with transitions. I also have training in Non-Violent Crisis Intervention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and getting to know their individual personalities. I’m happy being active and playing outside, doing crafts or creative activities, playing games, helping with homework, or simply providing a calm and dependable presence. As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to have someone caring for your children who is responsible, communicative, patient, and respectful of your family’s routines. I’m primarily interested in flexible and occasional childcare, including date nights, evenings, weekends, and other short-term needs. I’m also open to discussing homework help, transportation, and other family support when it’s a good fit. I look forward to meeting some great local families!

Priscilla $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m Priscilla, a fellow mom just looking to support another family with night care/date nights, occasional care, or short-term babysitting. The little one I was caring for recently started daycare, so I’m hoping to connect with a new family who needs someone loving, patient, and reliable. Additionally, they still contact me asking to care for baby if needed. As a nursing student, my schedule can be a little unique, but I’m usually up studying until 2–3 AM anyway, so evenings and nights work beautifully for me! (My school schedule is completely online until April 12th) A little about me 😊 • I’m 20 and a mama to my sweet, adventurous almost 19 month old son • I’m the oldest of 5 (ages 3–15), so caring for kids is second nature • One of my siblings has William syndrome and on the spectrum, so I’m familiar with adapting care, gentle communication, and meeting children exactly where they are • I love walks, reading, hands-on play, arts & crafts, and trying new recipes when I get the chance I’m a low-to-no-screen caregiver — we rarely use screens at home, so I absolutely understand and respect families who want engaging, present, and mindful care. I’m happy to keep little ones entertained with play, imagination, and comfort without devices. I’m also very comfortable following sleep routines and bedtime schedules, and can keep your nighttime rhythm consistent while you enjoy your well deserved time away. I can provide three references with families I’ve worked with and 2 of my personal family reference letters if needed !! 😊

Christina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Christina, and I live in Anaheim Hills. I am available to provide childcare from 8:30am-2pm Monday and Friday. Wednesdays I am available from 8:30am until noon. Additionally, I am available all day Saturday and Sunday. I have a degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and got my K-6 Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from Cal State Long Beach in 2009. I have been raising my two children since 2013, and they are 13 and 11 now, so I’m looking for some part time/occasional work. I absolutely love taking care of children and was a substitute teacher for 5 years before having my daughter. I have experience with all ages and also experience with special needs children. I started babysitting when I was 13, and I have worked in many homes and schools with lots of wonderful children and students. I’ve done CPR certification and background checks many times, and my home is smoke free and pet free. I’m open to providing childcare at your home, or at my home as well. Just text me anytime to ask about my availability. Thank you for reading my bio and I look forward to hearing from you! -Christina
