Booked by 1 family in Cypress, CA

Hello! My name is Savannah, and I am a Child Development student at California State University Long Beach, with a passion for special education and supporting neurodivergent children in their development. I previous worked as a part-time nanny for a two child household, with a 10m infant and a 3 year old child. I worked with them until the oldest was 5 years old, and I handled bedtime routines, bath time, meal preparation and feedings, bottle sterilization, diaper changes, and play-based learning to support developmental goals. I also work as a behavioral technician, where I work with neurodivergent children ranging for 3 years old to 16 years old. I use hands-off behavioral intervention techniques to build emotional regulation skills and work to replace adverse behaviors (hitting, spitting, self-injury, tantrums) with healthy coping strategies. I enjoy working with children of all ages and abilities, with a focus on supporting developmental goals through play-based learning. I am also CPR/AED/First Aid certified through the Red Cross, so you can be assured that your child will be safe with me.

Soumaya $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi Mom and Dads! You can call me Maya. I recently moved back to California after living in Honolulu and am excited to connect with wonderful families in the area! I have accumulated now 10 years of babysitting/nannying experience as I’ve babysat toddlers to teens. I truly enjoy being around children and getting to know their unique personalities as I come from a big family. 🤗 I’m very attentive at my job and love interacting with children while being creative and making time spent being responsible, fun, nurturing and patient. I make every child I babysit a priority and insure reliability. I hope to meet you soon!

Scott $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Scott and I am a father of two very vivacious kids. As they are Twins, even more so! I can help with whatever is needed as I have probably done it already! I do also gravitate towards helping with any senior care. I had deaf grandparents so helping seniors has been ingrained in me since the beginning. I have a clean driving record and can help with any tasks, cleaning even cooking. I can also assist with any pet needs. I have always had dogs. Hope to help you soon!

Isabella $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a recent CSUF graduate with my B.S. in Marine Biology and was on full scholarship for cross country and track. I was involved in both athletic leadership and I am in the process of publishing my first research paper. I have been babysitting for toddlers and up ever since I was 12. I have also had dogs my whole life and I currently have cats and also had bearded dragons for several years so I can offer all the pet care! I also LOVE cleaning and organizing and have been doing yard work my whole life. I take playing outside and in creative ways with the children. I can also help tutor or sit down and read with them for a while. I do have my own car if any form of transportation is needed for grocery shopping, park time, etc. I am an open book and excited to meet you and your family!
