$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Somis, CA

Hello! My name is Amaris. I’m a 19-year-old college student who is First Aid, CPR, and AED certified for infants, children, and adults. I have years of hands-on experience caring for kids of all ages and truly love what I do. I currently work at an elementary school, where I help care for a group of about 20–23 children ages 5–7 alongside another staff member. In this role, I’ve learned how to manage and connect with many children at once, adapting to different personalities and learning styles. I enjoy keeping them engaged through play, learning activities, and positive interactions that help them grow and feel supported. My childcare experience started at age 13, helping care for my younger cousins. Since then, I’ve looked after children from infancy up to around age 12, handling everything from diaper changes and meals to bedtime routines and playtime. I also love helping kids learn through everyday moments — whether it’s reading, practicing letters and numbers, or encouraging creativity and curiosity. Beyond babysitting, I’ve helped at children’s parties, keeping kids safe and entertained, and I always make sure every child feels comfortable and cared for. Families describe me as patient, responsible, and dependable — and I take pride in leaving a positive impression everywhere I go. If you’re looking for someone experienced, caring, and reliable, I’d love the chance to support your family!

Kulzum $25 per hour for 1 child

I’ve had a love for children for as long as I can remember and have been babysitting since I was in middle school. Caring for kids has always come naturally to me, and over the years that passion has grown into hands-on experience across many ages and settings. I previously owned and operated an indoor playground designed for toddlers and young children, where I created safe, engaging spaces centered around play, creativity, and early development. Today, I work as a preschool teacher, supporting children’s learning, routines, and social-emotional growth every day. In addition to my professional childcare experience, I’m also a baker and a full-time crafter, which means creativity is always part of my caregiving. Baking simple treats, hands-on crafts, sensory activities, and imaginative projects are naturally woven into my time with children in fun, age-appropriate, and safe ways. As a mom, I understand how important trust, consistency, and routines are for children to feel secure. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, with safety always as my top priority. I truly love working with children and take pride in creating a warm, engaging environment where kids feel happy, confident, and cared for and where parents feel at ease knowing their children are in loving, capable hands.
