Ryan Placentia
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ryan. I am 22 years old and I am currently an undergraduate student at Cal State Fullerton for my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I am offering child care and pet care! I am a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT) with over two years of experience working with children with autism and other developmental disabilities. I use ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy techniques to help kids build new skills, reach their goals, and improve daily behaviors in a clinic or home setting. This work has taught me patience, empathy, and how to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. Before becoming an RBT, I spent years as a competitive dancer since age 3 and later worked as an assistant dance teacher for children ages 4–12. I love bringing creativity, movement, and play into my time with kids to keep things fun and engaging. I grew up in Palm Springs but now live in Orange County, and I occasionally visit my hometown, so I’m open to jobs in both areas. I’m also happy to provide pet care! My family has a beagle, and I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, and playtime (cats included!). I’m comfortable caring for large animals too. Outside of work, I love music, dancing, festivals, concerts, fashion, shopping, arts and crafts, reading, movies, and anything creative. I’d describe myself as outgoing and adventurous, with a genuine passion for helping others and learning new things.

$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Karina and I’m currently going to school for cosmetology! I’m offering childcare services. I love being a babysitter, I’ve watched kids from the age range of 4-10. I used to babysit for a family watching 2 kids at a time for about 2 years! I would help clean up after the kids, make sure they did homework if they had any, do some coloring and outdoor activities if they wanted to, make sure they took a bath before bedtime and provided a safe environment in the comfort of their own home!

$28 per hour for 1 child

With over 15 years of experience in pet care, I bring reliability, compassion, and genuine love for animals to every visit. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities - offering everything from daily walks and playtime to overnight sitting and special care for senior pets. My background includes working with busy professionals and families who trust me to keep their pets happy, healthy, and safe while they’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, extra cuddles, or maintaining routines, I treat every pet like my own - ensuring peace of mind and wagging tails every time.

Mackenzie Yorba Linda
$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.

Booked by 1 family in Anaheim, CA

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. I look forward to meeting your family and being someone you can count on! Debbie
