Hi! My name is Gillian, and I’m a junior at csulb. I offer child care services, pet services, and household services. I have been babysitting toddlers since I was 15 years old and can help with driving, tutoring, cooking, and cleaning. I love playing with kids and can always keep them entertained. I also have worked as a behavioral technician for 6 months, which involves behavioral therapy for children with autism. I can work with any pets, I love dogs and cats!
Hi my name is Karina and I’m currently going to school for cosmetology! I’m offering childcare services. I love being a babysitter, I’ve watched kids from the age range of 4-10. I used to babysit for a family watching 2 kids at a time for about 2 years! I would help clean up after the kids, make sure they did homework if they had any, do some coloring and outdoor activities if they wanted to, make sure they took a bath before bedtime and provided a safe environment in the comfort of their own home!
I’ve been working with children since I was 18 and have several years of experience caring for and supporting young children. I’m patient, nurturing, dependable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I currently work in a preschool classroom and truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel safe and supported. I am also CPR certified and take pride in providing a safe, caring, and positive environment for every child.
Hi! My name is Talia, and I currently work as a pediatric care partner and unit secretary at CHLA. Through my experience in pediatric healthcare, I've developed a calm, patient, and attentive approach to caring for infants, children, and adolescents while supporting both their emotional and daily care needs. My experience includes monitoring vital signs, assisting with feeding and hygiene, maintaining patient safety, and helping care for babies and children with medical and developmental needs, including former preemies/NICU transfers and children with epilepsy, autism, and ADHD. In addition to my pediatric healthcare background, I also have experience providing childcare support for family friends and children within my community. Families would describe me as dependable, compassionate, observant, and nurturing.
I began babysitting as a teenager and have cared for children of many different ages over the years. I’m also a mother of two grown children, so I have firsthand experience caring for children through every stage, from infancy to adulthood. I completed Early Childhood Education coursework and spent much of my professional career supporting children, mothers, and families as a Domestic Violence Counselor/Advocate and through a Riverside County family treatment program. I’m patient, dependable, safety-conscious, and committed to helping children feel comfortable, respected, and cared for. I enjoy reading, crafts, outdoor activities, and encouraging children to learn through play. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities and would love to provide a local family with warm, reliable, and compassionate care.
