Hi! I’m Gloria, I’m currently in school studying to become a Medical Assistant, and I’m offering reliable childcare and household support. I’ve been babysitting for about six years. I started by caring for my nephews and soon began helping other families with babies, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I love spending time with children playing, helping with homework, reading, and keeping them engaged in fun, safe activities. I’m also comfortable with pets and can easily follow any family rules or routines. I’m happy to help with light cleaning, laundry, and simple meal prep as part of my care. Families describe me as patient, responsible, and very easygoing. I truly enjoy helping households run smoothly and giving kids a positive, caring environment. I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family!
“We couldn’t have asked for a better babysitter for our infant! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and patient, always making sure our little one felt safe, happy, and loved. From gentle snuggles to playful moments that brought out the biggest smiles, she made every minute fun while still being so responsible. It was such a relief knowing our baby was in such capable and warm hands—and now our kiddo can’t wait to see her again. We’re so grateful for her and would trust her again in a heartbeat!”
Hello, families! 😁 I’ve been taking care of little ones since many years ago. I was a preschool and elementary teacher so my experience is specially in ages 2-10+. Looking forward to connect with you.☀️
“Daniela was great with our daughter! They had fun in our home while we were out. She connected with my daughter quickly and they had fun games and drawings. I’d recommend her to my friends ”
Hi! I’m Jocelyn, a student at UC Irvine with experience working with children in a variety of settings. As a former swim instructor, I’ve worked with kids of all ages, helping them build confidence while always putting safety first. Through that role, I received CPR training and was previously CPR certified, giving me a strong foundation in emergency response. I’ve also volunteered at an elementary school, where I supervised and supported children in a positive and encouraging environment, and participated in youth programs that strengthened my leadership and communication skills. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, reading stories, or spending time outdoors, I strive to create a fun, safe, and caring environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I understand how important trust is when choosing a caregiver, and I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and someone families can count on. I look forward to meeting your family and providing a fun, safe, and positive experience for your children!
“We hired Jocelyn for a one-day sitting job and she was wonderful. She arrived right on time, was polite and respectful with us, and was genuinely sweet and caring with our son. He had so much fun with her, which says everything. We'd happily have her back and recommend her to any family looking for someone kind and reliable.”
Hi! I’m Nay. Spanish is my first language, and I’m a professional educator with over 10 years of experience working with children of different ages. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education, a postgraduate specialization in Play-Based Pedagogy, and a Master’s degree in Education. I am currently certified in CPR and First Aid. My background in education allows me to combine attentive and responsible childcare with fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, language development, and independence. I have hands-on childcare experience with infants and toddlers, including meals and snacks, diaper changes, naps, playtime, walks, playground outings, and daily routines. I also have extensive experience with preschool and school-age children through my professional background in education. Since Spanish is my first language, I’m happy to introduce and reinforce Spanish naturally through songs, play, books, everyday routines, and conversation. Families can expect me to be patient, responsible, organized, attentive, and communicative. I respect each family’s routines and preferences and always prioritize creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for their children. I’m especially interested in occasional babysitting opportunities, including date nights, evenings, weekends, and one-time care. I look forward to meeting your family!
