Booked by 1 family in Atwood, CA

Hi! My name is Rana and I’m 23 years old, currently in my 4th year of pharmacy school. I have experience babysitting toddlers/ kids among family/ friends as well child-care volunteering for community events. I love spending time with kids and would describe myself as very social so I can spark up a convo and 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 also have two 2 cats and prior cat-sitting experience. I’m mainly available on weekends and weekday evenings. I’m also CPR certified, can administer injections/ medications if needed, and am mental health first aid certified as well!

Hi! My name is Ryan. I am 22 years old and I am currently an undergraduate student at Cal State Fullerton for my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I am offering child care and pet care! I am a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT) with over two years of experience working with children with autism and other developmental disabilities. I use ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy techniques to help kids build new skills, reach their goals, and improve daily behaviors in a clinic or home setting. This work has taught me patience, empathy, and how to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. Before becoming an RBT, I spent years as a competitive dancer since age 3 and later worked as an assistant dance teacher for children ages 4–12. I love bringing creativity, movement, and play into my time with kids to keep things fun and engaging. I grew up in Palm Springs but now live in Orange County, and I occasionally visit my hometown, so I’m open to jobs in both areas. I’m also happy to provide pet care! My family has a beagle, and I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, and playtime (cats included!). I’m comfortable caring for large animals too. Outside of work, I love music, dancing, festivals, concerts, fashion, shopping, arts and crafts, reading, movies, and anything creative. I’d describe myself as outgoing and adventurous, with a genuine passion for helping others and learning new things.

I began babysitting at age 14 through a community program called Hire-A-Youth. My first job was caring for 3-year-old twin boys while their mother taught Jazzercise classes. She later recommended me to her clients, which led to additional babysitting opportunities. Over the years, I have cared for children of various ages and also provided assistance to seniors, including light housekeeping and running errands. In community college, I completed coursework in Early Childhood Education, which gave me a stronger understanding of child development and age-appropriate care. As a mother of two grown children (ages 28 and 29), I have firsthand experience raising children through every stage, from infancy to adulthood. Professionally, I worked for many years as a Domestic Violence Counselor/Advocate, supporting families during difficult times. I also worked for Riverside County in a substance use treatment program serving mothers and families before retiring. I am patient, dependable, safety-conscious, and understand the importance of creating a nurturing environment where children feel secure, respected, and cared for. I enjoy reading, crafts, outdoor activities, and helping children learn through play and exploration. I am looking for occasional babysitting opportunities and would love the chance to support local families with reliable, compassionate care.

TUTOR..KINDERGARTEN - 3RD GRADE (FULLERTON, BREA, ANAHEIM, YORBA LINDA, PLACENTIA) offered in person Hi, my name is Cheryl. I would like to invite you to allow me to TUTOR your child in your home, or local library. I tutor students from Kindergarten through 3rd grade. I have a Bachelor of Science in Child Development, and I spent 14 years as a public school teacher. This gave me a plethora of skills I use today, working one on one with students in KINDERGARTEN - 3rd GRADE. I have been tutoring for over 20 years. I also have 4 years of teaching 2nd grade students in an a after school program called "THINK TOGETHER." I worked with students in Santa Ana. This program consisted of about 20 students per teacher. I provided help to students with homework, reading skills, language arts, mathematics, writing, and art. I am not trained in teaching autistic children, but I do have experience working with autistic students. I tutor most of the students I have now skills ranging from reading, writing, math, language arts, and help with homework. I hope to hear from you to discuss hiring me as a tutor for your child. I have a positive approach to my tutoring which is focused on the highest potential for your child.

I have also had dogs my whole life and I currently have cats and also had bearded dragons for several years so I can offer all the pet care! I also LOVE cleaning and organizing and have been doing yard work my whole life. I take playing outside and in creative ways with the children. I can also help tutor or sit down and read with them for a while. I do have my own car if any form of transportation is needed for grocery shopping, park time, etc. I am an open book and excited to meet you and your family!
