Through my experience in pediatric healthcare, I've developed a calm, patient, and attentive approach to caring for infants, children, and adolescents while supporting both their emotional and daily care needs. My experience includes monitoring vital signs, assisting with feeding and hygiene, maintaining patient safety, and helping care for babies and children with medical and developmental needs, including former preemies/NICU transfers and children with epilepsy, autism, and ADHD.

Hi, I'm Noemi (Noe), and I'm passionate about providing thoughtful, personalized care for individuals of all ages and abilities as well as pets. I've worked as a middle school art teacher and an instructional aide, supporting students with a variety of abilities. I've also been a behavior technician and worked with young ones with ASD. I’ve been a caretaker as a side job since I was 15. I have experience caring for newborns to teenagers, as well as disabled young adults. I strive to make my care meet the needs of the young ones I work with. Whether that's imaginary play, board games, puzzles, books, or video games. I make our session fun, engaging, and reach developmental milestones. I also have experience taking care and being a companion to senior adults. I’ve taken care of my grandparents (80+) and a family friend who made it to the wonderful age of 90. Companionship is crucial to their mental health and I appreciate the wisdom they have to offer. I am patient, kind, and love to talk/listen to folks stories. As a dog parent myself (two wonderful pups, ages 7 and 13), I'm comfortable caring for both small and large dogs. Whether it's ensuring a safe, nurturing environment for your loved ones or providing attentive care for your furry friends, I'm here to help. Let's connect to discuss how I can support your family!

Noemi is amazing! From ages 9-16, Noemi babysat my younger brother who has Down Syndrome. Through the years, Noemi supported my brother in managing and completing daily routine tasks such as homework, daily hygiene, and creative outlets. Noemi was always very patient and a great communicator which supported my brother in reaching his interpersonal goals to be able to carry out meaningful conversations to build relationships. Noemi's passion for supporting other's can be seen and felt. I am so grateful to have had someone that truly values and cares for others care for my younger brother.

Hello, my name is Crystal. I’m 31 years old and earned my B.A. in Child Development and Family Studies from CSULB in 2018. I recently received my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and am excited to continue growing in the field of education. I have always had a passion for working with children and began babysitting at 15 years old, caring for my younger sibling and cousins. Throughout high school, I volunteered in after-school programs where I worked with elementary-aged children, helping them complete homework and build strong study skills. After graduating, I worked as a program leader, managing a class of about 20 children. My responsibilities included planning engaging activities, ensuring safety, serving snacks, collaborating with families and staff, and creating a fun, nurturing, and structured environment. I also have experience as an elementary tutor and a full-time preschool teacher, where I built strong relationships with families and provided additional babysitting support when needed. During COVID, I worked as a full-time nanny for multiple families until 2023. Since January 2023, I have been working as a substitute teacher while continuing my education. I would describe myself as nurturing, kind, patient, and dependable. I truly enjoy being part of a child’s growth, helping them learn, supporting their needs, and creating a safe, positive, and fun environment. I am currently available for summer babysitting from June through mid-August and am open to part-time or full-time opportunities during that time. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide attentive, caring, and enriching care for your children!

Great interaction with the kids with keeping them occupied, creative and engaged.

Booked by 11 families in Pico Rivera, CA

Hi families! My name is Catherine. I am currently pursuing my bachelor's degree, but I love working with children on the side, as I have always loved working with youth. I understand how instrumental it is for children to have someone patient, supportive, and caring to support their growth and well-being. I have been caregiving for children, from infants to preteens (8m-12y) for about 5 years now. I used to work as a Camp Counselor during the summers, which taught me multitasking, patience, and problem-solving, amongst several valuable lessons. I have also grown up babysitting outside the app, building valuable and meaningful connections with several families and caring for their little ones! My responsibilities consisted of organizing and maintaining each child's schedule, organizing playdates, assisting with homework, organizing and providing creative projects and arts and crafts, assisting with light housekeeping duties, and maintaining bedtime routines! I understand that choosing a caregiver for your children is a significant decision, and I take that trust very seriously. My goal is to create an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and encouraged to be themselves. Additionally, I am offering pet care and household services. I am extremely comfortable with dogs/cats, as I grew up around them. Can work around their diets, schedules, playtime, and routines! Grew up with three very large American Bulldogs, so size is not an issue for me. I enjoy playing with both cats and dogs of all breeds! My ultimate goal is to ensure families and individuals can rely on someone to look after their pets, little ones, or receive a helping hand with household services! I am also open to interviews if needed. Thank you for your consideration!

Catherine is really great with my daughter, it’s been great having her take care of my daughter while I am at home working. She arrives on time, talks and reads to my baby. She stays engaged with my baby and is able to get her to nap.
