Hi! I’m Ella and I’ll be a sophomore at Biola University. I love babysitting and I’ve also volunteered at lots of kids camps of many ages. My aspiration is to be a teacher so I’d love the opportunity to help with schoolwork! I’m willing to run errands and drive your kids anywhere, I’ve had my license for over three years. I’m more than happy to do any chores and take care of pets as well!
Hi, I’m Shayla! I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, and it’s something I’ve always truly loved. I’m looking for a side job that’s more fulfilling than my current full time position, and caring for kids is exactly that and more. I love doing crafts, helping with homework and tutoring, cooking fun meals, and spending time outside. I also love Zootopia more than I should probably admit. I aim to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where kids feel happy and parents feel confident leaving them in my care.
Hi! I’m Karina :) I love working with kids. I’m a responsible, hands-on and patient caregiver who will always make sure your kids feel comfortable and happy. I have experience caring for children ranging from infants to school-aged kids. I worked at an elementary school for six months, supervising groups of 2nd and 5th graders. I’m happy to follow your family’s rules and schedules. I make it my mission to make sure any child I’m watching over is cared for, safe and having fun. I’m big on communication, so I will keep you updated and won’t hesitate to ask questions or reach out if anything comes up! Please note that my standard rates apply to local bookings. For longer-distance travel, rates may be adjusted to account for commute time and transportation costs. Can’t wait to meet you!
“Karina is an exceptional caregiver who consistently demonstrates excellent childcare skills, professionalism, and genuine care for children. We especially appreciate the imagination and creativity she brings to playtime, creating engaging and enriching experiences for our toddler. Karina is proactive when it comes to our child’s safety. For example, she thoughtfully shares her location when taking our toddler on walks, which gives us additional peace of mind. She is also an excellent communicator and keeps us informed while remaining attentive to our preferences and expectations. In addition to providing wonderful childcare, Karina is very helpful around the household. She assists with putting food away, doing the dishes, and supporting our child’s bath time and bedtime routines. She is personable, approachable, and easy to communicate with. Karina is very receptive to feedback and consistently makes an effort to respect and incorporate our wishes. Her experience and confidence as a caregiver are evident in the way she interacts with our child. She does a wonderful job teaching appropriate rules, boundaries, and respect for others in an age-appropriate and positive way. We have been very pleased with Karina’s care and would highly recommend her services to any family looking for a dependable, experienced, and caring childcare provider.”
Hi! My name is Madeline or Maddie. I hold a bachelor’s degree in History with a minor in Education from UCSD. I have worked with newborns as young as 2 months to children as old as 13. I have about six years of babysitting experience, with four of those years being after I turned 18. I have also previously worked as an elementary school tutor for 3 years as well as privately. I have my own transportation. In addition I am also CPR and First Aid Certified with a Covid Vaccination. I am proficient in American Sign and I am fluent in English. I am a very patient and energetic babysitter. I would love to continue expanding my caregiving experience by babysitting for you. Thank you so much!
I’m a parent of 1, my daughter is now an adult. I retired from the Army after 20yrs in 2016. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and have worked(played) in their nursery for over a year in my church. I have also taught in Sunday school 3-5yr olds and 12-15 yr olds. I love babysitting kids because I only had 1 and wanted more. I wouldn't have been able to continue in my career or make it to retirement if it wasn't for the babysitters & family I had for my daughter. I’ve lived in multiple states and 2 other countries as well as visited 19 countries for work. I love “working” with kids because they are nonjudgmental, carefree and a great reminder to slow down and enjoy simple things in life. I'm not looking to start a new career, I believe kids can make life fun and happier than being in a boring corporate office or answering to a boss.

"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
