Lexi Orange
$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.

Bailey Costa Mesa
$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.

"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!"
