Maria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Maria! I have 10+ years of experience working with children, starting with family and growing through trusted referrals. I'm warm, patient, and reliable, and I love keeping kids engaged through crafts, outdoor play, reading, and creative activities while maintaining structure with routines like meals, homework, and bedtime. I'm a UCLA graduate and have worked as a behavioral technician with children on the autism spectrum, which has made me adaptable, attentive, and supportive of each child's unique needs. I'm comfortable with school drop-offs/pick-ups, light household tasks, and pets. I have reliable transportation and always prioritize safety, communication, and creating a positive environment for both kids and parents. I am CPR CERTIFIED.

Hi - My name is Haley! I am offering child care, pet sitting, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns and infants (including twins!) for over a decade.

Ryan $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ryan. I am 22 years old and I am currently an undergraduate student at Cal State Fullerton for my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I am offering child care and pet care! I am a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT) with over two years of experience working with children with autism and other developmental disabilities. I use ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy techniques to help kids build new skills, reach their goals, and improve daily behaviors in a clinic or home setting. This work has taught me patience, empathy, and how to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. Before becoming an RBT, I spent years as a competitive dancer since age 3 and later worked as an assistant dance teacher for children ages 4–12. I love bringing creativity, movement, and play into my time with kids to keep things fun and engaging. I grew up in Palm Springs but now live in Orange County, and I occasionally visit my hometown, so I’m open to jobs in both areas. I’m also happy to provide pet care! My family has a beagle, and I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, and playtime (cats included!). I’m comfortable caring for large animals too. Outside of work, I love music, dancing, festivals, concerts, fashion, shopping, arts and crafts, reading, movies, and anything creative. I’d describe myself as outgoing and adventurous, with a genuine passion for helping others and learning new things.

Lily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a babysitter with over five years of experience and just moved to Long Beach from Napa Valley. I am attending Cal State University Long Beach to get my Bachelor's in Interior Design and have a very flexible school schedule. I have worked with families with children aged 1 to 10 years old and aid in household tasks, everyday duties, and schoolwork. I have done both babysitting and nannying, and am very experienced in caring for children of all ages as well as accommodating the family's everyday routine and needs. I am looking forward to meeting more of my new community!

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Buena Park, 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.
