Christina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Christina, and I live in Anaheim Hills. I am available to provide childcare from 8:30am-2pm Monday and Friday. Wednesdays I am available from 8:30am until noon. Additionally, I am available all day Saturday and Sunday. I have a degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and got my K-6 Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from Cal State Long Beach in 2009. I have been raising my two children since 2013, and they are 13 and 11 now, so I’m looking for some part time/occasional work. I absolutely love taking care of children and was a substitute teacher for 5 years before having my daughter. I have experience with all ages and also experience with special needs children. I started babysitting when I was 13, and I have worked in many homes and schools with lots of wonderful children and students. I’ve done CPR certification and background checks many times, and my home is smoke free and pet free. I’m open to providing childcare at your home, or at my home as well. Just text me anytime to ask about my availability. Thank you for reading my bio and I look forward to hearing from you! -Christina

Deena $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Deena and I'm a first-year college student at UC Urvine with a genuine love for working with children. I've been helping out with my younger brother since I was 7, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to connect with kids of all ages. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I plan to become a child therapist in the future, so working with kids is something I'm truly passionate about. Families can count on me to be attentive, nurturing, and dependable.

"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!"
