Hi there! I’m a loving, proactive, and compassionate nanny and house assistant with over seven years of experience caring for children ages 2 to 16. I’m super energetic, patient, and always bring positive energy into the home. I truly love what I do, helping families stay organized, keeping the home running smoothly, and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids to grow and feel loved. Right now, I care for two wonderful kids (ages 12, and 9). My days include school drop-offs, organizing after-school activities like sports and tutoring, helping with errands, managing the family calendar, and keeping the home clean and tidy. Before that, I cared for an amazing 12-year-old boy with autism for almost three years, supporting his daily routine, school, and therapies with patience and consistency, while also helping with light housekeeping, errands, and pet care. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of experience balancing family routines, promoting positive behavior, and creating a calm and joyful environment. I’m CPR certified, fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and have a clean driving record. I’m looking for a wonderful family that feels like the right fit, where I can bring my heart, energy, and experience to make everyday life easier and happier. I’d love to hear from you! ✨
I hold a PhD in Education and spent years as a K-12 educator, so I bring real teaching skills to childcare, not just supervision. As a mom of two (now grown) sons, I know firsthand what kids need at every age. I also have an adorable Shih Tzu, so I'm comfortable caring for pets alongside kids. I'm new to Newport Beach and really love the people, the area, and just the entire vibe here. I’m patient, down-to-earth, and very nurturing to children and animals.
Hi - My name is Haley! I am offering child care, pet sitting, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns and infants (including twins!) for over a decade. I absolutely love both cats and dogs! I am open to other animals as well. I also work as a household assistant and can clean and run errands as needed.
Hi, I’m Arianna! I’m currently working part-time as a Pediatric Physical Therapy Assistant, and I’m looking to continue nannying and babysitting part-time or on an as-needed basis. I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages, including providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while parents are away. My experience includes supervising children, preparing meals and snacks, helping with homework, planning age-appropriate activities, maintaining routines, and assisting with bedtime and daily care. Working in pediatric physical therapy has also given me additional experience working with children and supporting their individual needs and development. I’m responsible, patient, caring, and dependable, and I truly enjoy working with children!
Hi, I am Jayda! I have spent the last three years working as a pediatric dental assistant with over 3,000 hours of hands on experience with children ranging from 6 months to 19 years old. Working with kids is not something I fell into, it is something I have actively pursued my whole life through volunteering, mission work, and now graduate school. I hold a BA in Biology and am currently enrolled in a Master's program in Occupational Therapy with a pediatric focus because working with children is truly my calling. I have extensive experience with high needs children including those with ADHD, autism, and sensory processing disorders. I know how to read a child, meet them where they are, and turn a hard moment into a good one. I am calm under pressure and genuinely love the challenge of connecting with kids who need a little extra patience and creativity. Beyond my clinical background I have volunteered at a children's museum, taught Sunday school, and traveled to Jamaica to lead a sports camp for underprivileged youth. I grew up on a small farm in upstate New York in a tight knit small town community where neighbors looked out for each other and family came first. That upbringing gave me a grounded, nurturing nature that I carry into everything I do with kids. I am BLS and First Aid certified, comfortable preparing home cooked meals, and experienced cooking for dietary restrictions including gluten free. If you are looking for someone who is warm, reliable, highly experienced, and will genuinely invest in your children, I would love to connect with your family.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
