Emma Newport Beach
$26 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Emma and I'm currently available for pet sitting services for dogs, cats, and other loved friends! I've grown up with animals my whole life and have a genuine love of caring for them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes from small breeds to large active pups, and I'm comfortable with cats of every personality, from shy snugglers to outgoing explorers. I also have a special fondness for senior animals and find their calm, gentle nature incredibly rewarding to care for. Whether your pet is young or old, high energy or a career homebody, I'll meet them right where they are. My services include daily walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, and overnight stays in your home so your pets can stick to their routines. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and send you photo updates so you have peace of mind while you're away. I'm reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique needs. Whether your dog needs a long hike or your cat prefers quiet company, I'll make sure they feel safe and loved while you're gone. I look forward to caring for your furry family members!

Kaylee Garden Grove
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kaylee, and I recently graduated from an esthetician program. I currently work at a gym and have over two years of experience working in daycare, caring for children from 4 months to 13 years old. I truly enjoy working with children of all ages and creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for them. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and happy to help with playtime, meals, homework, and daily routines. Outside of work, I have three Border Collies and love taking them to the park and on walks. I also love dog care and house sitting, and I am very comfortable caring for pets while their families are away. I also have personal experience caring for my grandparents, but my main focus is providing dependable child care and pet care.

Hi, my name is Andrea, and I currently work with elementary school–aged children, where I support homework completion and lead curriculum-based activities.

I have been caring for children since the age of 16, with responsibilities that include tutoring, creative activities, meal preparation, and light household tidying. Additionally, I have experience caring for my own brother, which has made me comfortable and confident working with children with disabilities.

Irvine
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Elena, I am 63 years old, and I would love to become a caring and reliable part of your family’s support system. I bring 15 years of childcare experience along with the invaluable perspective of being a mother myself — I have raised three successful, well-mannered children. Families describe me as patient, responsible, and warm-hearted. I create a safe and structured environment where children feel supported and motivated. I especially enjoy providing homework help, after-school care, and reliable school pick-up and drop-off. In addition to childcare, I can assist with meal prep and light housekeeping to help your household run smoothly. I am fluent in both English and Russian, and I love sharing cultural perspectives that broaden children’s horizons. I have a flexible schedule and am available for full-time, weekdays and weekends if needed. Parents can rely on me as a trustworthy, experienced caregiver who is dedicated to children’s happiness, safety, and growth.

Я с огромным удовольствием рекомендую Елену как внимательного, надежного, грамотного и ответственного педагога и помощника. Она более 5 лет обучала нашего ребенка русскому языку, помогала выполнять школьные задания, объясняла математику, развивала логическое мышление и мелкую моторику, играла, сопровождала на кружки. Всегда пунктуальна, организованна и очень надежна. Мы полностью доверяли ей нашего ребенка — неоднократно даже оставляли её с ней, когда вылетали в другую страну. Благодаря Лене всё прошло спокойно, ребенок был под заботливым и внимательным присмотром. Очень благодарны за сотрудничество и с уверенностью рекомендуем ее другим семьям. С уважением,
Жанна

Booked by 1 family in Huntington Beach, CA

Hi I’m Skye! I am 18 years old and am ready for a job! It’s hard to find a job as a college student because I have not had a job in the past due to a busy schedule in high school and most jobs require past working experience. I would say I’m friendly and respectful and like to get the job done! I’m currently a student at Arizona State who is majoring in English but maybe child development in the future! I am looking to occasionally babysit only because I go back home to my home state for winter and summer break so keep that in mind! I think I want a job where I can pick up kids from school and watch them for a few hours or when parents want to go on a date night!
