Booked by 50 families in Aliso Viejo, CA

Hi! I have 16 years of childcare experience from nannying, babysitting, lifeguarding, teaching swim lessons, camp counseling, and interning at Rady Children’s hospital. For my entire collegiate career I had one main family and also worked for Chicago's #1 childcare agency, KGrace. I’ve also worked for childcare agencies in San Diego and Orange County. In August of 2023 I completed my medical doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese medicine. I have a passion for working with children and love to be around their energy! I am CPR, first aid, epipen certified; I am up-to-date on all vaccines. I have a spotless driving and criminal history record. I am California Trust Line certified; this is legally the background check needed in CA to watch children. I love yoga, hiking, painting, trying new restaurants, and traveling. I look forward to speaking with you!

Profile Image: features me and my nephew whose parents have given permission for the use of this photo. ——————— I don’t am a passionate childcare professional (taught K-8 Art and 7/8 History) who fosters nurturing, engaging, and inclusive environments where children can thrive. With a background in teaching and curriculum development for young learners, I prioritize hands-on, creative experiences that meet the unique needs of every child. My expertise includes crafting individualized lesson plans, using trauma-informed approaches, and promoting social-emotional learning through art and play. I value strong communication with families and collaboration to create a supportive community for children. In my free time, I enjoy rock climbing, hiking, painting in the park, crafting, and visiting museums—activities that reflect my love for creativity, exploration, and making meaningful connections with the world around me. I am also currently a full-time student at SFSU, getting my M.A. in History. Fluent in English and Spanish, I bring a multicultural approach to childcare that supports diverse and inclusive experiences (by exposing a child to a new language, you open neural pathways that aid in speech, cognitive ability, and overall communication).

“Victoria babysat our daughter for two months, almost every day. She was absolutely incredible, so kind and gentle - our daughter loved her. Victoria was very professional, laid back and attentive - would recommend her no questions asked.”

Hi there! I’m Summer — it’s so nice to virtually meet you and I’d love the chance to get to know you and your family! 🤍 A little about me: My husband and I have been on a journey to start a family of our own for the past three years. We’ve gone through the full IVF process (what a ride!) and while it hasn’t worked out yet, I absolutely adore kids and can’t wait for the day we have some of our own running around. I have over twenty years of experience with little ones (ages 6mo+), and I’m a big fan of park playdates, naptime routines, and even tackling those stinky diaper situations with a smile 😆 I recently completed a background check, car inspection, medical clearance, and I’m certified in First Aid and child CPR. Bonus: I’m also a Rover-approved dog sitter, so I’m more than happy to help out with your furry family members too! I’m born and raised here in OC and just moved back from LA. I’m looking to fill my schedule and connect with a new family or two! If you’re looking for a kind, reliable, and energetic helping hand — I’d love to chat and see how I can support your family. ❤️ Thanks so much for reading! Summer

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
