Kimberly $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi I'm Kimberly! I've been a mother for 12 years. I have multiple children, and have always been the go-to babysitter for friends and family. I enjoy having littles around, as do my children. I believe parents know best, and thus I try my best to provide a personalized approach to each child based on the family's needs.

Bailey $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a first-born, type 2 on the Enneagram, and a lifelong high achiever with a deep love for kids. I’ve been babysitting since before I could drive, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for families of all sizes—including newborns. Looking back, I’m always amazed at the trust families placed in me at such a young age. I’m naturally responsible and connect easily with children; my mom always thought I’d become an elementary school teacher because kids seemed to gravitate toward me. Instead, I pursued my entrepreneurial dreams and now run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to support families on the side. I’ve also been babysitting for my friends’ children for years, and it’s such a joy to provide a safe, nurturing space for kids while helping families. I feel truly blessed to combine my love for children with the freedom my business provides.

Booked by 68 families in Huntington Beach, CA

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!

"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!"
