Hi there! I’m Summer — it’s so nice to virtually meet you and I’d love the chance to get to know you and your family! 🤍 A little about me: My husband and I have been on a journey to start a family of our own for the past three years. We’ve gone through the full IVF process (what a ride!) and while it hasn’t worked out yet, I absolutely adore kids and can’t wait for the day we have some of our own running around. I have over twenty years of experience with little ones (ages 6mo+), and I’m a big fan of park playdates, naptime routines, and even tackling those stinky diaper situations with a smile 😆 I recently completed a background check, car inspection, medical clearance, and I’m certified in First Aid and child CPR. Bonus: I’m also a Rover-approved dog sitter, so I’m more than happy to help out with your furry family members too! I’m born and raised here in OC and just moved back from LA. I’m looking to fill my schedule and connect with a new family or two! If you’re looking for a kind, reliable, and energetic helping hand — I’d love to chat and see how I can support your family. ❤️ Thanks so much for reading! Summer

Katy $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Katy! I am newly married and taking some time off of my traditional job. I have been a NICU clinical dietitian at Children’s hospitals for 6 years…needless to say I love kiddos! I love my nephews and spend so much time with them, help my friends who are new mamas, and truly just love being around kids! I am also more than happy to help with other household errands when the kids are at activities or in school! I am very comfortable if the kids need to be driven to activities as well!
