"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Mackenzie $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Mackenzie I’m a college student at cal state Fullerton. I’m offering babysitting and pet sitting services. I don’t have too much one on one experience taking care of children but I was a lifeguard for 2 summers at a waterpark working with children all day where I was also cpr and first aid trained. I’ve always been pretty good with kids taking care of younger family members and family friends. I do have experience taking care of pets though. I’m very friendly and I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m a good cook and I can drive although my daily car is pretty small. I can help with household chores and errands as needed. I could also help with homework and projects.

Booked by 1 family in Anaheim, 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.
Jazzy $23 per hour for 1 child
Andrea $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi, my name is Andrea, and I currently work with elementary school–aged children, where I support homework completion and lead curriculum-based activities. I am highly creative and enjoy incorporating arts, crafts, and engaging projects into my work with children. I offer childcare and household support services. I have been caring for children since the age of 16, with responsibilities that include tutoring, creative activities, meal preparation, and light household tidying. Additionally, I have experience caring for my own brother, which has made me comfortable and confident working with children with disabilities. I am patient, dependable, and dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for every child in my care.
Julianna $22 per hour for 1 child
During the last few years of my life, I have babysat my own family and worked at an elementary school. I worked with grade levels k-3. I worked as a teachers assistant on my days that I didn’t have work. I worked and still do work at chilis. Since I love working with kids and taking care of kids inside and outside of school I want to put my experience to work and help out those who need it. I love taking care of any family friends children or my cousins. Anything you need I can be there for you😊.
