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!
“Katie was one of the best sitters we have ever had. Our four year old adored her. She brought art projects, made dinner, and brought a cheerful attitude to both days. We can’t wait to work with her again. ”
Hi! I’m Natalia. I have several years of hands-on childcare experience caring for young children and infants, as well as mentoring kids in a learning environment. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I enjoy creating a safe, calm, and fun space for children. I’m available for weekly babysitting, date nights, and backup care, and I’m comfortable with multiple children and maintaining routines.💕
Hi! My name is Ariana and I’m currently a sophomore in college. I am offering childcare ranging from any age, as well as some household services. I absolutely love being a babysitter and have been watching all age ranges since I was 13 years old. Mostly unpaid, since I truly just love kids! I would love go help with other tasks as well such as tutoring, driving to appointments/activities, tidying up, doing laundry, and even running errands! Another plus is I am bilingual! Fluent in Spanish and English. I am also happy to work with families that have pets.
Hi! I have 16 years of childcare experience from nannying, babysitting, lifeguarding, swim instructing, camp counseling, and interning at Rady Children’s hospital. During undergrad I had one main family and also worked for Chicago's #1 childcare agency, KGrace. I’ve also worked for childcare agencies in San Diego and Orange County. I’ve traveled with families, completed over night + multiple day job, and have extensive experience in hotels/AIRBNBs with vacationing families. I have a passion for working with children and love to be around their energy! I am CPR, first aid, and epipen certified. I am also California Trust Line certified; this is the legal background check needed in CA to watch children. In August of 2023 I completed my doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese medicine. I love yoga, pilates, hiking, crafting, trying new restaurants, and traveling. I look forward to speaking with you!
I am a BCBA and currently work at a pediatric clinic, I am responsible, fun and passionate about my work with children! I have been working with children for 10 years and have babysat since I was 10 years old. I play piano and love sports and will totally be creative in the activities I do with your kids!

"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!"
