Hi!. I am from the Palm Springs area, where most of my family lives.

Hi! I’m Bailey 😊 I’m a UCSB alum (BS in Psychological and Brain Sciences), EMT certified, and currently in registered nursing school. I have 8+ years of experience caring for children of all ages. I worked at the UCSB Child Care Center throughout my undergraduate years, including in the infant and toddler rooms where I regularly cared for multiple children at once. I also previously worked in Labor & Delivery as an OB/Surgical Tech, where I assisted in deliveries and C-sections and gained strong exposure to newborn care and hospital safety. I’ve worked as a paraeducator supporting children with special needs and currently work as a substitute teacher (TK–12 + SPED), so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of ages and needs. I’m warm, reliable, and truly love caring for kids—it’s a big reason I’m pursuing nursing. I enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I have my own car, am CPR/First Aid certified, vaccinated, and happy to provide references. I’m also very comfortable with pets! I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a great fit for your family!

Hi! My name is Rosa, I am attending Cerritos College. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 years old family members, close friends and relatives; different ages and even twins. . I also have my CPR/First Aid Pediatric for adults/children; I also have my certificate for child development. I’ve been a preschool teacher for 6 years already and I couldn’t be any happier with my dream job. I love teaching and watch them get excited of their accomplishments for example help with fine-motor skills,tracing,numbers, colors etc. I can help children and elderly; and also fur babies by going for a walk and play with him/her. I am going to start my full time job soon, but feel free for part times, occasional, if you really need me just send me a DM and we can work something out, don’t hesitate I am very open minded and we can definitely fine a way to work and help out with your kiddos, Seniors, and dogs.

“Rosa was great with my two little ones! 2 under 2 is definitely a challenge and she handled them well! Would hire her again.”

Hello, my name is Kylee, and I received my B. A. in Digital and Video Film Production from Maryount California University in Palos Verdes. I love and have so much fun interacting with children. They have a such a way of looking at the world and I try to always remember seeing the world through their eyes from time to time. My mom spent many years teaching dance and drama at an elementary school which I would help facilitate by watching and playing with the kids. I have babysat since I was 16 mostly between the ages of 5 months to 6 years old. I also was actively working in the nursery at my church since I was 12. Children are amazing and can teach as much as they need to learn. I would really enjoy any opportunity to continue to learn and work with the little one's to help parent's out. Another fun job I have is working as a princess, face painter, and balloon twister. It definitely keeps my imagination sharp which is helpful when it comes to play time with toddlers and elementary age children. My mom was a single parent so I know how hard it can be. If there is any way I can help alleviate some of that pressure I would be glad to offer my services.

“Oct 2025 Update: Kylee is great with our boys, now 7 and 3. She initially started with us when we had 1. She’s reliable, responsible, caring and very entertaining with our boys. Story time voices, games, songs, face painting, dancing-she does it all. Both are high functioning autistic so she’s experienced with special needs as well. I would recommend her again and again! (2019) Kylee was fantastic with our 7 month old. He wears a helmet for plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) so caring for him is a little more involved than your average baby. She fed, changed, and kept him entertained and safe. We’re happy to have her as our regular sitter. ”

"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!"
