Yoselin $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello ! :) My name is Yoselin, and I'm a third-year student at Cal State Fullerton studying Child and Adolescent Development, with a concentration in Family and Community Contexts. I'm passionate about children's growth and development and hope to build a career supporting children and families. I have experience caring for younger siblings, cousins, and family friends' children, along with exposure to youth-focused programs through Girls Inc. and A Step Beyond. These experiences have strengthened my interest in working with children and creating a positive, supportive environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I'm available to care for children ages 4 and up and can help with playtime, age-appropriate activities, homework, and everyday routines. I also have my driver's license and may be available for school drop-offs and pickups or occasional errands, depending on my availability and the family's needs. I'm patient, responsible, and eager to get to know each family's routines and preferences so I can provide thoughtful, dependable support. I'm excited to connect with families and help make their days a little easier! đź’›

Elaina $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.

Nancy $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Artesia, CA

My name is Nancy. I am the first born daughter of 8 children. I’ve been helping my mom take care of my siblings which have built the foundation of my profession. I’m currently a preschool teacher and have previous experience with being a substitute teacher for about 6 years. Through substituting, I was able to obtain a lot of my professional experience. I’ve been to a vast amount of daycares where I got to see and learn different learning styles in children as well as different approaches to learning and teaching children to achieve their milestones. I’ve been in a classroom where I’ve had to potty train and can say I was able to learn a few techniques. I’ve also been “long-term” in some sites where I was able to grow a bond with some of the children and celebrate their success. I do have a sibling with Asperger’s autism who is 15, so I have some experience with children on the spectrum.

Hi! My name is Talia, and I currently work as a pediatric care partner and unit secretary at CHLA. Through my experience in pediatric healthcare, I've developed a calm, patient, and attentive approach to caring for infants, children, and adolescents while supporting both their emotional and daily care needs. My experience includes monitoring vital signs, assisting with feeding and hygiene, maintaining patient safety, and helping care for babies and children with medical and developmental needs, including former preemies/NICU transfers and children with epilepsy, autism, and ADHD. In addition to my pediatric healthcare background, I also have experience providing childcare support for family friends and children within my community. Families would describe me as dependable, compassionate, observant, and nurturing.

Erika $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Erika. I am a mother of three and an educator. I am a former Preschool teacher with 20+ years experience. I have worked with children as young as one, up to school age children. As an educator I believe young children learn positive behavior by watching and interacting with their caregivers every day. When caregivers model kindness, patience, and respect ,children begin to understand how to manage emotions, build healthy relationships, and make good choices.

"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!"
