I have over six years of experience providing dependable childcare, including with newborns, children ages 2–8, and kids with special needs. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology, am working toward my doctorate, and have completed coursework in Early Child Development. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, which ensures safety in my care. Families describe me as patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I love engaging children in outdoor play, sports, games, and puzzles that encourage both fun and learning. I’m comfortable caring for up to three children, and I always follow household rules and communicate clearly with parents. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with cooking, meal prep, and light housekeeping. My goal is to support children’s growth while bringing peace of mind to families.
Hi! My name is Elizabeth! I am 22 years old and have been working as a classroom aide with students on the Autism spectrum for almost 4 years now. I have experience in toileting (changing diapers/pull ups), preparing snacks/lunch, and am willing to drop off/pick up children from school. I am caring, kind, and dedicated to ensuring the best possible care and comfortability for both parent and child.
Hi, my name is Chelsea. I am 20 years old and a current college student at CSULB. Originally, I am from Riverside, where I get most of my babysitting experience. Professionally I worked with several companies that provide childcare to several different types of children, including those with learning and physical disabilities. I currently work with the YMCA at an elementary school. In this role, I am responsible for 20 students, making sure they complete their homework and providing snacks/supper and enrichment lessons to further their education. Education is very important to me as someone working with kids. Outside of childcare, I do have experience with small dogs and cats and have no problem providing household services. I look forward to working with you and your family. :)

Hello! I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Child Development and Family Science from CSULB. I have worked in a high school setting for over 17 years, specifically working with students with disabilities; helping them with college and career services. I had a son with severe disabilities and was responsible for his medically demanding daily routine so I am comfortable with medical needs. I also have been responsible for the care of my 3 grandparents and their medical needs. I’ve hosted “Auntie Camp” for more than 6 years, watching the young kids in my family during my summer break. We did field trips and daily activities in the areas of: Physical Fitness, Language Arts, Arts & Crafts and Science. I was also a director of a before & after school program. In this position I supervised 100 kids and 12 staff members. I would love to help with families and entertain their children. *First Aid/CPR Certified

"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!"
