Mackenzie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Mackenzie I’m a college student at cal state Fullerton. I’m offering babysitting and pet sitting services. I don’t have too much one on one experience taking care of children but I was a lifeguard for 2 summers at a waterpark working with children all day where I was also cpr and first aid trained. I’ve always been pretty good with kids taking care of younger family members and family friends. I do have experience taking care of pets though. I’m very friendly and I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m a good cook and I can drive although my daily car is pretty small. I can help with household chores and errands as needed. I could also help with homework and projects.

Giovanna $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a loving, proactive, and compassionate nanny and house assistant with over seven years of experience caring for children ages 2 to 16. I’m super energetic, patient, and always bring positive energy into the home. I truly love what I do, helping families stay organized, keeping the home running smoothly, and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids to grow and feel loved. Right now, I care for three wonderful kids (ages 10, 12, and 14). My days include school drop-offs, organizing after-school activities like sports and tutoring, helping with errands, managing the family calendar, and keeping the home clean and tidy. Before that, I cared for an amazing 12-year-old boy with autism for almost three years, supporting his daily routine, school, and therapies with patience and consistency, while also helping with light housekeeping, errands, and pet care. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of experience balancing family routines, promoting positive behavior, and creating a calm and joyful environment. I’m CPR certified, fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and have a clean driving record. I’m currently based in Redwood City but moving to Newport Beach at the end of the year, and I’ll be ready to start a new position the first week of January 2026. I’m looking for a wonderful family that feels like the right fit, where I can bring my heart, energy, and experience to make everyday life easier and happier. I’d love to hear from you! ✨

Emma $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Emma and I'm currently available for pet sitting services for dogs, cats, and other loved friends! I've grown up with animals my whole life and have a genuine love of caring for them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes from small breeds to large active pups, and I'm comfortable with cats of every personality, from shy snugglers to outgoing explorers. I also have a special fondness for senior animals and find their calm, gentle nature incredibly rewarding to care for. Whether your pet is young or old, high energy or a career homebody, I'll meet them right where they are. My services include daily walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, and overnight stays in your home so your pets can stick to their routines. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and send you photo updates so you have peace of mind while you're away. I'm reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique needs. Whether your dog needs a long hike or your cat prefers quiet company, I'll make sure they feel safe and loved while you're gone. I look forward to caring for your furry family members!

Shirley $35 per hour for 1 child

I began babysitting as a teenager and have cared for children of many different ages over the years. I’m also a mother of two grown children, so I have firsthand experience caring for children through every stage, from infancy to adulthood. I completed Early Childhood Education coursework and spent much of my professional career supporting children, mothers, and families as a Domestic Violence Counselor/Advocate and through a Riverside County family treatment program. I’m patient, dependable, safety-conscious, and committed to helping children feel comfortable, respected, and cared for. I enjoy reading, crafts, outdoor activities, and encouraging children to learn through play. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities and would love to provide a local family with warm, reliable, and compassionate care.

Elena 3 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Elena, I am 63 years old, and I would love to become a caring and reliable part of your family’s support system. I bring 15 years of childcare experience along with the invaluable perspective of being a mother myself — I have raised three successful, well-mannered children. Families describe me as patient, responsible, and warm-hearted. I create a safe and structured environment where children feel supported and motivated. I especially enjoy providing homework help, after-school care, and reliable school pick-up and drop-off. In addition to childcare, I can assist with meal prep and light housekeeping to help your household run smoothly. I am fluent in both English and Russian, and I love sharing cultural perspectives that broaden children’s horizons. I have a flexible schedule and am available for full-time, weekdays and weekends if needed. Parents can rely on me as a trustworthy, experienced caregiver who is dedicated to children’s happiness, safety, and growth.

Я с огромным удовольствием рекомендую Елену как внимательного, надежного, грамотного и ответственного педагога и помощника. Она более 5 лет обучала нашего ребенка русскому языку, помогала выполнять школьные задания, объясняла математику, развивала логическое мышление и мелкую моторику, играла, сопровождала на кружки. Всегда пунктуальна, организованна и очень надежна. Мы полностью доверяли ей нашего ребенка — неоднократно даже оставляли её с ней, когда вылетали в другую страну. Благодаря Лене всё прошло спокойно, ребенок был под заботливым и внимательным присмотром. Очень благодарны за сотрудничество и с уверенностью рекомендуем ее другим семьям. С уважением,
Жанна
