Debbie $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Fountain Valley, CA

Hi! I’m a loving grandmother with a passion for caring for children. I’ve been babysitting for several years during weekends and weeknights, and I absolutely love it! I have three wonderful grandchildren (ages 7, 3, and 16 months), so I understand how important it is to have a trustworthy, nurturing caregiver. Whether it’s reading stories, playing games, or helping with bedtime routines, I truly enjoy spending time with kids and making them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I look forward to meeting your family and being someone you can count on! Debbie

Hailey $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Hailey! I have a background of caring for a couple neighborhood families & family friends’ children but I’m trying to gain more experience if you’ll trust me with caring for your loved ones! Additionally, I am very comfortable around dogs/cats, have grown up with them my whole life, and would love to care for them if that is the care you are looking for instead! Just in case you would like some additional peace of mind, I have been BLS CPR certified for the last two years and am currently pursuing a nursing career to hopefully work in the Neonatal ICU in the near future! I’d love to give my full attention and care for up to 2 children any age under 10 years old. If needed, I do have my own transportation and wouldn’t mind going to the library or park. Please reach out for any concerns or questions!

Kaya $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Kaya! I am currently a student-athlete at Pacific Lutheran University. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have extensive experience in caregiving and providing support to others. I have worked at children’s camps through SCATS Gymnastics and the Huntington Beach Parks and Recreation summer program, where I supervised and cared for kids in a safe and positive environment. I have also babysat, driven children to and from activities, cared for pets, and house-sat while family and friends are away. As a collegiate student-athlete and nursing student, I have developed strong time management, discipline, and organizational skills. Being part of a team has taught me to be dependable, hardworking, and responsible. I am passionate about caring for others and enjoy creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment. My experience with children, pets, and household responsibilities, combined with my dedication and compassionate nature, make me a reliable and enthusiastic caregiver.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Fountain Valley, CA

Hi, my name is Kristyna. I’m a reliable and caring babysitter with several years of hands-on experience working with children of different ages. I spent 2 years as an au pair, where I provided full-time care—managing daily routines, organizing activities, helping with meals, and creating a safe, fun environment for kids to thrive. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and aim to keep them engaged, happy, and well cared for while giving parents peace of mind. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs and personality. I’m currently looking for date night babysitting opportunities and occasional help. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, bedtime routines, homework, and fun activities to keep your kids entertained.
