Soumaya $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi Mom and Dads! You can call me Maya. I recently moved back to California after living in Honolulu and am excited to connect with wonderful families in the area! I have accumulated now 10 years of babysitting/nannying experience as I’ve babysat toddlers to teens. I truly enjoy being around children and getting to know their unique personalities as I come from a big family. 🤗 I’m very attentive at my job and love interacting with children while being creative and making time spent being responsible, fun, nurturing and patient. I make every child I babysit a priority and insure reliability. I hope to meet you soon!

Daniella $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Daniella. I have almost a year of experience working as an after school teacher with children from first through sixth grade, along with over four years of babysitting and childcare volunteer experience. I’m known in my church community as a “baby and child whisperer” because of how naturally I connect with children and how comfortable they feel around me. I’m very calm, nurturing, and patient, while also being fun, playful, and engaging. I’m highly responsible, organized, and attentive to routines, safety, and each child’s individual needs. I’m comfortable handling all childcare responsibilities, including meals, activities, homework help, and daily routines. I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment where children feel cared for and parents feel confident and at ease. I’m available Monday through Friday at any time, and Saturdays from early morning until 12 PM.

"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!"
