Lily $25 per hour for 1 child

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!

Dung $27 per hour for 1 child

As a single mom, I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to manage work, family, household, responsibilities, and everything in between especially when you don’t have that extra set of hands when you need it most. My children are older now and I’m at a point in life where I’d love to use the time and experience I’ve gained as a mom to help other families. I know that sometimes what a family needs isn’t something complicated it’s simply someone dependable, caring and trustworthy. who can step in and make the day a little easier. I’m available to help with childcare, light house tasks, meal preparation, organizing, and everyday responsibilities that can sometimes feel overwhelming. Whether you need someone to help keep your children company, lend a hand around the house, take them to the park, or simply give you a few hours to catch your breath. I’m here to help.

Booked by 1 family in Surfside, CA

Hi, my name is Kristyna. I’m a reliable and caring babysitter with several years of hands-on experience working with children of different ages. I spent 2 years as an au pair, where I provided full-time care—managing daily routines, organizing activities, helping with meals, and creating a safe, fun environment for kids to thrive. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and aim to keep them engaged, happy, and well cared for while giving parents peace of mind. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs and personality. I’m currently looking for date night babysitting opportunities and occasional help. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, bedtime routines, homework, and fun activities to keep your kids entertained.

"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!"
