Lexi $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Lexi and I’m a freshman at Chapman University looking for a part-time babysitting job in Orange. I have over eight years of experience caring for children and I am a Red Cross Safe Sitter as well as CPR and Heimlich certified. I am majoring in Psychology and have always loved working with kids. Since I do not have my car on campus, I am hoping to find a position within walking distance from Chapman, however, I am also willing to uber. I am responsible, compassionate, and committed to creating a safe and fun environment for children, and I would love to connect if you are looking for a reliable sitter. I also have extensive experience babysitting children with autism and disabilities.

Scott $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Scott and I am a father of two very vivacious kids. As they are Twins, even more so! I can help with whatever is needed as I have probably done it already! I do also gravitate towards helping with any senior care. I had deaf grandparents so helping seniors has been ingrained in me since the beginning. I have a clean driving record and can help with any tasks, cleaning even cooking. I can also assist with any pet needs. I have always had dogs. Hope to help you soon!

Isabella $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a recent CSUF graduate with my B.S. in Marine Biology and was on full scholarship for cross country and track. I was involved in both athletic leadership and I am in the process of publishing my first research paper. I have been babysitting for toddlers and up ever since I was 12. I have also had dogs my whole life and I currently have cats and also had bearded dragons for several years so I can offer all the pet care! I also LOVE cleaning and organizing and have been doing yard work my whole life. I take playing outside and in creative ways with the children. I can also help tutor or sit down and read with them for a while. I do have my own car if any form of transportation is needed for grocery shopping, park time, etc. I am an open book and excited to meet you and your family!

Paola $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.
