I have over 6 years of childcare and 2 years of infant care experience. I have cared for children of various ages, which has helped me develop patience, reliability, strong communication skills, and a nurturing approach. I also have work experience with children of special needs and those on the spectrum. I am CPR and first aid certified, I am attentive, compassionate, and organized, with a natural ability to build trust and create a safe, positive environment. My experience includes supervising daily activities, homework help/tutoring, assisting with routines, meal preps, light household tasks relating to the child’s needs or any pet needs. I love animals and strongly believe that pets are a part of the family. In previous years I have helped with taking pets for walks, assisting with medical needs such as shots or giving medications with meals, as well as keeping them company while family members are traveling. I genuinely enjoy helping others and am eager to bring the same level of care, companionship, and dependability to any family that requires help.

Hi! My name is Melodie, and I bring a warm, reliable, and well-rounded approach to caregiving. I’ve been babysitting off and on since high school, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with families in a wide range of settings—from casual date nights to consistent weekly care. Between 2021 and 2023, I provided regular childcare for a college head coach’s family, where I was trusted to handle everything from after-school routines and bedtime to meal prep and light tidying. More recently, I’ve been working with a wonderful family caring for two young siblings. I’ve also taken formal child development courses and hold an active CPR and First Aid certification. Your child’s safety and emotional well-being are my top priorities, and I pride myself on creating a calm, fun, and structured environment. Whether it’s imaginative play, helping with schoolwork, or reinforcing routines, I aim to support not just the kids but the whole family. In addition to childcare, I’m also experienced in household support. I’ve run my own household and have been employed to help organize others’, so I naturally maintain a clean and tidy space. I enjoy cooking and can prepare simple, healthy meals for children and families as needed. I’m also a huge animal lover and have grown up around pets my whole life. I currently have two of my own and am confident in handling pet care alongside childcare—including walks, feeding, and lots of love. Transportation is never a problem. I have a perfect driving record and a safe, well-maintained vehicle. I understand how important punctuality and reliability are when it comes to caregiving, and I always strive to go above and beyond. Whether you need dependable babysitting, pet care, help keeping your household running smoothly—or all three—I’d love to be a part of your support system. I genuinely care about the families I work with and value building lasting, respectful relationships. Looking forward to connecting!

Hello! My name is Katie, I currently work as an early education tutor at Kumon in Aliso Viejo and have been an Art Instructor in Laguna Beach for the past three years, helping kids explore their creativity and build confidence. I’ve also worked in church nurseries since I was 12, where I’ve gained valuable experience caring for young children. Additionally, I’ve spent a lot of time caring for my younger brother, who is 9 years younger than me, ever since he was a baby. These experiences have taught me patience, creativity, and a love for working with kids! When I’m not working or studying, I enjoy spending my free time painting, going to the beach, and playing with my dog! I’d love to bring my care to your family!
