Lexi Orange
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Lexi and I’m a freshman at Chapman University looking for a part-time babysitting job in Orange. I have over eight years of experience caring for children and I am a Red Cross Safe Sitter as well as CPR and Heimlich certified. I am majoring in Psychology and have always loved working with kids. Since I do not have my car on campus, I am hoping to find a position within walking distance from Chapman, however, I am also willing to uber. I am responsible, compassionate, and committed to creating a safe and fun environment for children, and I would love to connect if you are looking for a reliable sitter. I also have extensive experience babysitting children with autism and disabilities.

Chelsea Long Beach
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Chelsea. I am 20 years old and a current college student at CSULB. Originally, I am from Riverside, where I get most of my babysitting experience. Professionally I worked with several companies that provide childcare to several different types of children, including those with learning and physical disabilities. I currently work with the YMCA at an elementary school. In this role, I am responsible for 20 students, making sure they complete their homework and providing snacks/supper and enrichment lessons to further their education. Education is very important to me as someone working with kids. Outside of childcare, I do have experience with small dogs and cats and have no problem providing household services. I look forward to working with you and your family. :)

Tasha Costa Mesa
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a former nurse with a Master’s in Psychology and over 15 years of experience caring for children, seniors, and families. I bring a calming presence, clear communication, and a lot of patience to the families I work with. I’ve cared for kids of all ages—from newborns to teens—and also support older adults, including those with memory or mobility challenges. Alongside my caregiving background, I’m trained in mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and creative, play-based care. Whether it’s managing routines, helping with transitions, or simply bringing ease to the day, I step in with clarity, calm, and care. I’m currently pursuing an ongoing professional development program, so I don’t have regular availability. I accept jobs as they come, and all bookings require my approval—please send a request, and I’ll let you know if I can help. Families describe me as trustworthy, nurturing, and easy to talk to. I’d love to connect and support your family!
