Hi! I am a babysitter with over five years of experience and just moved to Long Beach from Napa Valley. I am attending Cal State University Long Beach to get my Bachelor's in Interior Design and have a very flexible school schedule. I have worked with families with children aged 1 to 10 years old and aid in household tasks, everyday duties, and schoolwork. I have done both babysitting and nannying, and am very experienced in caring for children of all ages as well as accommodating the family's everyday routine and needs. I am looking forward to meeting more of my new community!
Hi! My name is Gillian, and I’m a junior at csulb. I offer child care services, pet services, and household services. I have been babysitting toddlers since I was 15 years old and can help with driving, tutoring, cooking, and cleaning. I love playing with kids and can always keep them entertained. I also have worked as a behavioral technician for 6 months, which involves behavioral therapy for children with autism. I can work with any pets, I love dogs and cats!
Hi, I’m Julianna! I’m in college, studying to be a teacher, and babysitting because I grew up babysitting family and friends’ kids and love working with them! I’ve also been a camp counselor to kids ages 4-12. I’m great with kids of all ages but especially babies and toddlers :) I can cook simple meals, help with homework, go for walks, and come up with fun and engaging activities the kiddos will love🤗 $20/1 child, $25/2 children, etc.
Hi, my name is Chelsea. I am 20 years old and a current college student at CSULB. Originally, I am from Riverside, where I get most of my babysitting experience. Professionally I worked with several companies that provide childcare to several different types of children, including those with learning and physical disabilities. I currently work with the YMCA at an elementary school. In this role, I am responsible for 20 students, making sure they complete their homework and providing snacks/supper and enrichment lessons to further their education. Education is very important to me as someone working with kids. Outside of childcare, I do have experience with small dogs and cats and have no problem providing household services. I look forward to working with you and your family. :)

"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
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
