Hi there! I’m Summer — it’s so nice to virtually meet you and I’d love the chance to get to know you and your family! 🤍 A little about me: My husband and I have been on a journey to start a family of our own for the past three years. We’ve gone through the full IVF process (what a ride!) and while it hasn’t worked out yet, I absolutely adore kids and can’t wait for the day we have some of our own running around. I have over twenty years of experience with little ones (ages 6mo+), and I’m a big fan of park playdates, naptime routines, and even tackling those stinky diaper situations with a smile 😆 I recently completed a background check, car inspection, medical clearance, and I’m certified in First Aid and child CPR. Bonus: I’m also a Rover-approved dog sitter, so I’m more than happy to help out with your furry family members too! I’m born and raised here in OC and just moved back from LA. I’m looking to fill my schedule and connect with a new family or two! If you’re looking for a kind, reliable, and energetic helping hand — I’d love to chat and see how I can support your family. ❤️ Thanks so much for reading! Summer
I'm a creative and colorful person, currently taking creative art classes to teach children arts and crafts in university. I have previous experience babysitting from my teenage years, I've taken care of infants and children under ten and caring for small dogs as well.
“Thank you for being so patient and reliable!”
I’m currently a college student at USC with 4 years of tutoring experience, working with students of all ages to help them grow academically and build confidence. For the past 3 years, I’ve also babysat part-time for multiple families, primarily caring for children ages 1 and up. I’ve handled infants on several occasions and would love to gain more hands-on experience with younger babies as well. I’m calm under pressure, very organized, and always prioritize creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing snacks, playing games, or managing bedtime routines, I’m happy to support families however I can. As a student, I bring energy and strong communication skills. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with both kids and parents, and I’m committed to making your family’s day a little easier.
Lived in the same home in Orange County for the last 19years. I volunteered for the last 8 years at Lomarena Elementary School as a room mom and room helper. I took CPR for my pharmacy technician certification. I am not interested in pursuing in Pharmacy tech position. I have 2 daughters who are 17and 14 years old at home with my husband.
“Shenith was so awesome to come over last minute to babysit my two boys, she was so caring and made them feel so comfortable. I really appreciated the time she took after to tell me all the funny stories about their adventures. Look forward to having her come back ASAP!!! ”
Hi! My name is Gaby. I hold my BFA in Musical Theatre from California State University, Fullerton. I audition and work as a professional performer across Southern CA.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
