Kaylee Garden Grove
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kaylee, and I recently graduated from an esthetician program. I currently work at a gym and have over two years of experience working in daycare, caring for children from 4 months to 13 years old. I truly enjoy working with children of all ages and creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for them. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and happy to help with playtime, meals, homework, and daily routines. Outside of work, I have three Border Collies and love taking them to the park and on walks. I also love dog care and house sitting, and I am very comfortable caring for pets while their families are away. I also have personal experience caring for my grandparents, but my main focus is providing dependable child care and pet care.

La Mirada
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Brea, CA

Hello, my name is Lauryn and I am a Freshman at Cal State University of Fullerton. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and have been watching over infants, toddlers, kids and recently newborns as well! Many responsibilities I have had include driving to/from places, making crafts, tutoring, and even art lessons. I also work as a daycare/preschools aide at local schools for the childcare career program. I will also be willing to be a household assistant to run errands, laundry, organizing and clean as well. Additionally, I have pet sit many times with dogs, cats, and rabbits. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, and playing with animals. One issue - I have trouble with large, loud dogs, but I’m happy to work with quieter dogs or any other animals.

Shirley Orange
$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.
