Shay 1 review
$21 per hour for 1 child

My name is Shay, and I’ve spent over 10 years caring for children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers—both in the U.S. and overseas. I’ve taught English through my church, helped care for children within my own family, and supported new mothers as they adjusted after welcoming their babies. I’m a caring, patient, and reliable babysitter who loves creating a safe, calm environment for children. I’m attentive, nurturing, and respectful of family routines, and I’m happy to help with playtime, meals, and light tidying. I take children’s safety and parents’ trust very seriously and am open to occasional or regular babysitting.

“I have observed Shay caring for children ranging from infants to teens. She has generously volunteered her time to care for pastors’ children during their busy schedules. Shay is well-loved by the children and consistently welcomes them with warmth, kindness, and a positive demeanor. As a parent of an infant myself, I have personally experienced her attentiveness—when Shay babysits for me, she takes immediate, proactive care of my child, allowing me to focus fully on my work with confidence and peace of mind. I confidently recommend Shay to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate babysitter.”

Christina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Christina, and caring for children has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a family daycare, I was surrounded by the joy and energy of little ones, which inspired me to dedicate my life to early childhood education. With over 15 years of hands-on experience working in our family daycare, I’ve nurtured children of all ages, creating a loving and safe environment where they can learn and grow. I earned my Teacher’s Associate Certificate from UCLA to further my knowledge and skills, and I am currently an infant teacher at a preschool. I truly believe that every child deserves patience, warmth, and encouragement to thrive. My goal is to support families by providing the highest level of care, ensuring that both children and parents feel safe, valued, and supported. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your little ones and be a part of their early learning journey!
