Hi! I have 16 years of childcare experience from nannying, babysitting, lifeguarding, teaching swim lessons, camp counseling, and interning at Rady Children’s hospital. For my entire collegiate career I had one main family and also worked for Chicago's #1 childcare agency, KGrace. I’ve also worked for childcare agencies in San Diego and Orange County. In August of 2023 I completed my medical doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese medicine. I have a passion for working with children and love to be around their energy! I am CPR, first aid, epipen certified; I am up-to-date on all vaccines. I have a spotless driving and criminal history record. I am California Trust Line certified; this is legally the background check needed in CA to watch children. I love yoga, hiking, painting, trying new restaurants, and traveling. I look forward to speaking with you!

Michaela you are amazing. Thank you

Hello ! ! ! Graduated from the University of Alabama in 2019. I work for a real estate tech start up during the week. I have always enjoyed babysitting and love picking up a babysitting gig here and there. It has always been a fun thing for me and a great way to meet families! I began my babysitting career in middle school and since then I have worked as a mothers help, date night sitter, summer break nanny, and weekend overnight sitter. For 3 years of high school I worked at a local yoga studio in childcare, and spent three summers as a camp counselor. I have a wide range of experience with all ages throughout the past 12+ years of working for a wide range of families!

Hi - My name is kelly Soto, I am a 26 year old female living in Tustin, CA. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have been a nanny for the last 6 years for 3 different families. I grew up in a big Hispanic household and have 6 siblings. As an experienced and compassionate caregiver, I am excited to offer my services as a nanny to families looking for a responsible, nurturing, and reliable professional to care for their children. With over 10 years of hands-on experience in childcare, I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment for children of all ages. I also can cook, clean, and run errands.

Great communication and amazing with my German shepherd that can be reactive at times. Sent pictures during their walk. Flexible with whatever we might need during her scheduled time. So happy we met Kelly and will be booking again with her soon!

"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!"
