Find an emergency babysitter in Santa Ana, CA

Hi! My name is Ryan. I am 22 years old and I am currently an undergraduate student at Cal State Fullerton for my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I am offering child care and pet care! I am a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT) with over two years of experience working with children with autism and other developmental disabilities. I use ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy techniques to help kids build new skills, reach their goals, and improve daily behaviors in a clinic or home setting. This work has taught me patience, empathy, and how to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. Before becoming an RBT, I spent years as a competitive dancer since age 3 and later worked as an assistant dance teacher for children ages 4–12. I love bringing creativity, movement, and play into my time with kids to keep things fun and engaging. I grew up in Palm Springs but now live in Orange County, and I occasionally visit my hometown, so I’m open to jobs in both areas. I’m also happy to provide pet care! My family has a beagle, and I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, and playtime (cats included!). I’m comfortable caring for large animals too. Outside of work, I love music, dancing, festivals, concerts, fashion, shopping, arts and crafts, reading, movies, and anything creative. I’d describe myself as outgoing and adventurous, with a genuine passion for helping others and learning new things.

Hello ! :) My name is Yoselin, and I'm a third-year student at Cal State Fullerton studying Child and Adolescent Development, with a concentration in Family and Community Contexts. I'm passionate about children's growth and development and hope to build a career supporting children and families. I have experience caring for younger siblings, cousins, and family friends' children, along with exposure to youth-focused programs through Girls Inc. and A Step Beyond. These experiences have strengthened my interest in working with children and creating a positive, supportive environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I'm available to care for children ages 4 and up and can help with playtime, age-appropriate activities, homework, and everyday routines. I also have my driver's license and may be available for school drop-offs and pickups or occasional errands, depending on my availability and the family's needs. I'm patient, responsible, and eager to get to know each family's routines and preferences so I can provide thoughtful, dependable support. I'm excited to connect with families and help make their days a little easier! 💛

Hi, my name is Emma and I'm currently available for pet sitting services for dogs, cats, and other loved friends! I've grown up with animals my whole life and have a genuine love of caring for them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes from small breeds to large active pups, and I'm comfortable with cats of every personality, from shy snugglers to outgoing explorers. I also have a special fondness for senior animals and find their calm, gentle nature incredibly rewarding to care for. Whether your pet is young or old, high energy or a career homebody, I'll meet them right where they are. My services include daily walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, and overnight stays in your home so your pets can stick to their routines. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and send you photo updates so you have peace of mind while you're away. I'm reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique needs. Whether your dog needs a long hike or your cat prefers quiet company, I'll make sure they feel safe and loved while you're gone. I look forward to caring for your furry family members!

Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and experienced childcare provider with 3 years of daycare experience. I love working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children. I’m patient, responsible, and focused on providing a safe, fun, and loving environment. I’m happy to help with playtime, meals, naps, and daily routines. I’m available mainly on weekends. I’d love to meet your family and help out.

I hold a PhD in Education and spent years as a K-12 educator, so I bring real teaching skills to childcare, not just supervision. As a mom of two (now grown) sons, I know firsthand what kids need at every age. I also have an adorable Shih Tzu, so I'm comfortable caring for pets alongside kids. I'm new to Newport Beach and really love the people, the area, and just the entire vibe here. I’m patient, down-to-earth, and very nurturing to children and animals.
