Emily 2 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Caring for children and babies is what I do best. As a natural empath and caregiver, I feel it's a skill that just kind of exists for me organically. I think children deserve to be seen and heard, and their feelings matter. I love to have fun and be silly, but am also very calm. I've had parents describe me as their child's "first friend" (let me grab a tissue), which I think is a lovely and fulfilling role to have.

I chose “other” because my answer is “all of the above”! I’ve known Emily for many years and we’ve worked together, we’re friends, she’s helped me with my kids, all of it! She is amazing with kids and though we are not related, she will always be “Auntie” to my kids. She’s very gentle and kind, but knows when to tell kids no. She’s really patient and understanding with kids and the different emotions they go through. She is very neat and always on time and I would recommend her to any family who needed help with their child care needs!

Booked by 3 families in Laguna Beach, CA

I am a Pre-school teacher with over 10yrs experience and have worked with all ages including pre-teens. I have over 33 units of early childhood education and have taught in different settings including Montessori, IB ( international Baccalaureate) and also learning through play curriculum. I have also been a nanny and sitter over the years ranging from infants to teens. My philosophy is helping the children feel safe and happy to express them selves through curiosity. I love what I do and enjoy being with children and have fun with them as they learn about the world around them. I also tutor the little ones, light house keeping and meal prep is not a problem. I can work over the holidays as well and one family commitment with a reasonable rate adjustment. Looking forward to hearing from you!

We felt so comfortable having Mrs Dalilah spend all day with our toddler. She is an incredibly warm & engaging person who is a natural with children. Our toddler who is normally shy with new people loved her. We are so thrilled to have her on our short list of date night sitters!

Emma $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!

"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!"
