Hi! I’m a loving grandmother with a passion for caring for children. I’ve been babysitting for several years during weekends and weeknights, and I absolutely love it! I have three wonderful grandchildren (ages 7, 3, and 16 months), so I understand how important it is to have a trustworthy, nurturing caregiver. Whether it’s reading stories, playing games, or helping with bedtime routines, I truly enjoy spending time with kids and making them feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Kaya Huntington Beach
$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.

Huntington Beach
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Fountain Valley, CA

Hi, my name is Kristyna. I’m a reliable and caring babysitter with several years of hands-on experience working with children of different ages. I spent 2 years as an au pair, where I provided full-time care—managing daily routines, organizing activities, helping with meals, and creating a safe, fun environment for kids to thrive. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and aim to keep them engaged, happy, and well cared for while giving parents peace of mind. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs and personality. I’m currently looking for date night babysitting opportunities and occasional help. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, bedtime routines, homework, and fun activities to keep your kids entertained.

Mary Costa Mesa
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mary, and I have a lot of hands on experience caring for kids of all ages. I grew up with four younger siblings, so I’ve been helping take care of children my whole life. I’ve also been babysitting since I was 12, which has given me years of experience with both younger kids and older kids. I’ve worked as an aquatic camp youth instructor for 2 years now, where I was responsible for supervising children, keeping them safe, and making activities fun and engaging. I’m currently a part time nanny for a 22 month old boy, so I’m very comfortable with toddlers, routines, meals, playtime, and naps. I enjoy doing activities with kids like playing games, arts and crafts, going outside, reading, baking, cooking, and helping with homework when needed. I’m also happy to help with tutoring, basic cooking, and keeping kids on a routine. In addition to childcare, I love animals and have experience with pet sitting and house sitting. I’m comfortable caring for different pets and helping with walking, feeding, and playtime. I’m also more than willing to help around the house with cleaning, organizing, laundry, or running errands, anything that helps make your day easier! I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy helping families feel supported and at ease.
