Hi, I'm Jazmine! I have 10 years of experience with children, 9 years of experience with children under 3 and 7 years of experience with infants under 1. I am BLS CPR certified and proficient in Spanish. I tend to take a screen-free approach, unless the parents say otherwise, to encourage creativity and flexible thinking. I believe in developing a sense of trust, communication and respect with all families I work with. If you have any pets, I can make sure that their needs are met as well. Additionally, I am not opposed to doing light housework (laundry, dishes, tidying up), to keep things running smoothly once I depart. I am available for occasional date nights, ad hoc days, and overnights. Like what you see? I hope to hear from you soon!!!

She was great and knowledgeable about child development and how to handle toddlers. Would highly recommend!

Booked by 1 family in Avalon, 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.

Hello my name is Michelle, I recently transferred to California State University Dominguez Hills for my Bachelor's in Child Development. I also have my associates degree in Early Childhood Development from Long Beach City College. I currently work as a preschool teacher during the week but hope to become an elementary school teacher someday. I really enjoy working with children. I have worked with all ages from preschool to high schoolers. Before I was a preschool teacher I worked for a summer camp as Art Director facilitating different art activities with the different age groups. Some of my responsibilities have included supervising children, engaging with children in various activities, and maintaining a well organized and clean space Some of my favorite things to do are spending time outside, journaling and doing anything art related. I am able to do some housework like tighting up, putting toys away, light cooking and cleaning.
