Hi, my name is Genine, and I’m currently a senior majoring in education and psychology. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve cared for children of all ages, including infants and school-aged kids, for 2 years. I enjoy engaging in creative activities like crafts, tutoring, outdoor play, and even baking lessons! My experience also includes helping with homework and organizing fun, educational games. I’m certified in pediatric First Aid, CPR, and water safety, ensuring your family is in safe hands. I’m great with pets and offer walking, feeding, and playtime services. As a household assistant, I can cook, clean, run errands, and help keep things organized. Friendly, reliable, and flexible, I’m here to provide care tailored to your family’s unique needs!
I am a credentialed public school teacher in south Orange County. More specifically, I’ve been a dual-language immersion (English and Spanish) teacher focused on working with K-2 students. I enjoy interacting with children and figured nannying could be a great way to expand my child-care skills working with families that could need me for a couple hours.
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.
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!
Hello! My name is Skylar Kennedy and I have always known that I love working with kids. I am the oldest of 7 children and started looking after the little ones very early on. Then in my teens and early 20s I started coaching Pop Warner cheer, working in children's theatre groups, and babysitting as much as possible. I started being a nanny at 19years old and just kept up the momentum. I now have worked with over 100 kiddos ranging in age from 3weeks to 15 years old. I also have extensive experience with children on the spectrum, kids with verbal or developmental delays, deaf or non verbal, ADHD, and Anxiety disorders. I am currently finishing up my bachelor's degree in child development and have my first aid/CPR certification. My approach with kids is just meeting them where they are and understanding that children learn and communicate through play. There's so much value in making a mess and/or playing outside as much as possible. Everything can be a learning experience without it even feeling like we have taught a child anything because we just had so much fun getting dirty and cleaning up together. For jobs 3 days or less per week and one time bookings, I do have a late cancellation policy. Cancellations with less than 24hrs notice will result in a 1/2 payment. Ex: if my projected pay was 100$ for the day, the late payment would be 50$. For full time families, I require guaranteed hours per week, paid on the books through a payroll service at 30-40$ per hour depending on responsibilities and number of children. I also prefer to negotiate for holiday/sick days (typically 2 weeks vacation and 1 weeks work of sick time but again we can negotiate a bit!) I also teach acting and baking lessons as well as holding mini craft workshops. If interested, please reach out for details and rates!
“Thank you for taking care of our little guy! ”
