Hello! I am a recent CSUF graduate with my B.S. in Marine Biology and was on full scholarship for cross country and track. I was involved in both athletic leadership and I am in the process of publishing my first research paper. I have been babysitting for toddlers and up ever since I was 12. 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!

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

Shayla $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Shayla! I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, and it’s something I’ve always truly loved. I’m looking for a side job that’s more fulfilling than my current full time position, and caring for kids is exactly that and more. I love doing crafts, helping with homework and tutoring, cooking fun meals, and spending time outside. I also love Zootopia more than I should probably admit. I aim to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where kids feel happy and parents feel confident leaving them in my care.
