Booked by 1 family in East Irvine, CA

I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I have experience babysitting children of different ages, working at a gymnastics facility, and assisting with special education students during high school. I love creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I also enjoy cooking and would be happy to help prepare meals or snacks when needed. I have my own reliable transportation, making it easy to arrive on time and help with school pick-ups, activities, or errands if needed. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing dependable care you can trust.

McCall has been with us for about 6 months now. She’s one of the sweetest, kind, caring girls we know. She’s great with our girls and pets. Shes never once been late and is available for our date nights as well. I highly recommend her.

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Elena, I am 63 years old, and I would love to become a caring and reliable part of your family’s support system. I bring 15 years of childcare experience along with the invaluable perspective of being a mother myself — I have raised three successful, well-mannered children. Families describe me as patient, responsible, and warm-hearted. I create a safe and structured environment where children feel supported and motivated. I especially enjoy providing homework help, after-school care, and reliable school pick-up and drop-off. In addition to childcare, I can assist with meal prep and light housekeeping to help your household run smoothly. I am fluent in both English and Russian, and I love sharing cultural perspectives that broaden children’s horizons. I have a flexible schedule and am available for full-time, weekdays and weekends if needed. Parents can rely on me as a trustworthy, experienced caregiver who is dedicated to children’s happiness, safety, and growth.

Я с огромным удовольствием рекомендую Елену как внимательного, надежного, грамотного и ответственного педагога и помощника. Она более 5 лет обучала нашего ребенка русскому языку, помогала выполнять школьные задания, объясняла математику, развивала логическое мышление и мелкую моторику, играла, сопровождала на кружки. Всегда пунктуальна, организованна и очень надежна. Мы полностью доверяли ей нашего ребенка — неоднократно даже оставляли её с ней, когда вылетали в другую страну. Благодаря Лене всё прошло спокойно, ребенок был под заботливым и внимательным присмотром. Очень благодарны за сотрудничество и с уверенностью рекомендуем ее другим семьям. С уважением,
Жанна

$22 per hour for 1 child

I am a credentialed public school teacher in south Orange County. More specifically, I’ve been a dual-language immersion (English and Spanish) teacher focused on working with K-2 students. I enjoy interacting with children and figured nannying could be a great way to expand my child-care skills working with families that could need me for a couple hours.

Booked by 1 family in East Irvine, CA

Hello! I work part time in corporate but prior to my career change I worked as a preschool teacher for 8 years in traditional as well as Reggio Emilia and Montessori inspired programs. For a year I was the Assistant Preschool Director and first grade English teacher at a private multilingual immersion school. I also have two years of nanny experience for a family with an infant and a school age child, and worked as an assistant in an elementary school RSP (special Ed) program while in college. I have a 4 year old son (my only) who is the light of my life! I currently have house rabbits, and have been the loving pet parent to a canary, amphibians, a hamster and dogs over the years, including my beloved maltese mix, Ginger, who crossed the rainbow bridge in 2020 at the age of 14. I love to cook and laundry is my favorite chore. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Applied Cultural Anthropology from Cal State Long Beach, and have 21 Early Childhood Education/Child Development units from Santa Monica College and Cerritos College. English is my native langue, I speak limited French and have a fairly large vocabulary of Spanish and Korean words and phrases.
