Emma $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Emma and I'm currently available for pet sitting services for dogs, cats, and other loved friends! I've grown up with animals my whole life and have a genuine love of caring for them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes from small breeds to large active pups, and I'm comfortable with cats of every personality, from shy snugglers to outgoing explorers. I also have a special fondness for senior animals and find their calm, gentle nature incredibly rewarding to care for. Whether your pet is young or old, high energy or a career homebody, I'll meet them right where they are. My services include daily walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, and overnight stays in your home so your pets can stick to their routines. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and send you photo updates so you have peace of mind while you're away. I'm reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique needs. Whether your dog needs a long hike or your cat prefers quiet company, I'll make sure they feel safe and loved while you're gone. I look forward to caring for your furry family members!

Jayda $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I am Jayda! I have spent the last three years working as a pediatric dental assistant with over 3,000 hours of hands on experience with children ranging from 6 months to 19 years old. Working with kids is not something I fell into, it is something I have actively pursued my whole life through volunteering, mission work, and now graduate school. I hold a BA in Biology and am currently enrolled in a Master's program in Occupational Therapy with a pediatric focus because working with children is truly my calling. I have extensive experience with high needs children including those with ADHD, autism, and sensory processing disorders. I know how to read a child, meet them where they are, and turn a hard moment into a good one. I am calm under pressure and genuinely love the challenge of connecting with kids who need a little extra patience and creativity. Beyond my clinical background I have volunteered at a children's museum, taught Sunday school, and traveled to Jamaica to lead a sports camp for underprivileged youth. I grew up on a small farm in upstate New York in a tight knit small town community where neighbors looked out for each other and family came first. That upbringing gave me a grounded, nurturing nature that I carry into everything I do with kids. I am BLS and First Aid certified, comfortable preparing home cooked meals, and experienced cooking for dietary restrictions including gluten free. If you are looking for someone who is warm, reliable, highly experienced, and will genuinely invest in your children, I would love to connect with your family.

Sadie $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Sadie, I am 19 years old and am currently studying early childhood education at Orange Coast College. I live in Newport Beach, across from the Back Bay and graduated from Newport Harbor High School. I worked for 5+ years as a childcare provider for a local family of three boys (ranging in ages from 4-9), assisting with light house cleaning, meal preparation, and transporting to activities. I also have interned at the Environmental Nature Center as an assistant for the early childhood program (Little Naturalists and Mini Naturalists) and summer camp. I have two rescue dogs and can assist with meal preparation, walks, and medication for family pets. I am not familiar with caring for cats but am open to learning and love all animals. In my spare time I enjoy doing art, sewing, crocheting, etc. I enjoy creating activities for children and encourage outdoor time. I look forward to meeting you and your families!

Giovanna $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a loving, proactive, and compassionate nanny and house assistant with over seven years of experience caring for children ages 2 to 16. I’m super energetic, patient, and always bring positive energy into the home. I truly love what I do, helping families stay organized, keeping the home running smoothly, and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids to grow and feel loved. Right now, I care for two wonderful kids (ages 12, and 9). My days include school drop-offs, organizing after-school activities like sports and tutoring, helping with errands, managing the family calendar, and keeping the home clean and tidy. Before that, I cared for an amazing 12-year-old boy with autism for almost three years, supporting his daily routine, school, and therapies with patience and consistency, while also helping with light housekeeping, errands, and pet care. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of experience balancing family routines, promoting positive behavior, and creating a calm and joyful environment. I’m CPR certified, fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and have a clean driving record. I’m looking for a wonderful family that feels like the right fit, where I can bring my heart, energy, and experience to make everyday life easier and happier. I’d love to hear from you! ✨

Shelley $30 per hour for 1 child

I hold a PhD in Education and spent years as a K-12 educator, so I bring real teaching skills to childcare, not just supervision. As a mom of two (now grown) sons, I know firsthand what kids need at every age. I also have an adorable Shih Tzu, so I'm comfortable caring for pets alongside kids. I'm new to Newport Beach and really love the people, the area, and just the entire vibe here. I’m patient, down-to-earth, and very nurturing to children and animals.
