Hi, my name is Genine, and I’m currently a senior majoring in education and psychology. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve cared for children of all ages, including infants and school-aged kids, for 2 years. I enjoy engaging in creative activities like crafts, tutoring, outdoor play, and even baking lessons!

I’m great with pets and offer walking, feeding, and playtime services. As a household assistant, I can cook, clean, run errands, and help keep things organized.

Tasha Costa Mesa
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a former nurse with a Master’s in Psychology and over 15 years of experience caring for children, seniors, and families. I bring a calming presence, clear communication, and a lot of patience to the families I work with. I’ve cared for kids of all ages—from newborns to teens—and also support older adults, including those with memory or mobility challenges. Alongside my caregiving background, I’m trained in mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and creative, play-based care. Whether it’s managing routines, helping with transitions, or simply bringing ease to the day, I step in with clarity, calm, and care. I’m currently pursuing an ongoing professional development program, so I don’t have regular availability. I accept jobs as they come, and all bookings require my approval—please send a request, and I’ll let you know if I can help. Families describe me as trustworthy, nurturing, and easy to talk to. I’d love to connect and support your family!

Deena Irvine
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Deena and I'm a first-year college student at UC Urvine with a genuine love for working with children. I've been helping out with my younger brother since I was 7, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to connect with kids of all ages. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I plan to become a child therapist in the future, so working with kids is something I'm truly passionate about. Families can count on me to be attentive, nurturing, and dependable.
