Booked by 1 family in Cypress, CA

I’m currently a college student at USC with 4 years of tutoring experience, working with students of all ages to help them grow academically and build confidence. For the past 3 years, I’ve also babysat part-time for multiple families, primarily caring for children ages 1 and up. I’ve handled infants on several occasions and would love to gain more hands-on experience with younger babies as well. I’m calm under pressure, very organized, and always prioritize creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing snacks, playing games, or managing bedtime routines, I’m happy to support families however I can. As a student, I bring energy and strong communication skills. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with both kids and parents, and I’m committed to making your family’s day a little easier.

Serenity $25 per hour for 1 child

Child care: Hello! My name is Serenity and I have been working in childcare since I was 14. I am one of 48 cousins so for as long as I can remember, I have always been taking care of someone younger than myself. I have worked as a full time nanny to a family with an infant under 8 months. This included being home alone for 8+ hours and in charge of all care. I followed a strict sleep schedule and routine. Prepared bottles and purées. Reference available for contact. As well as done over night shifts to help with sleep training and regression. I have been called the “baby whisperer” by more than one. I believe with patients, a calm energy, and a strong routine, all infants can be sleep trained easily. I am also a high school and travel ball softball coach so my training in CPR/First Aide/Basic medical care is very extensive as it’s required for those positions. I am also fluent in ASL and studied child development at Golden West College. I enjoy art, sports, adventures, learning, and all things fun! Elderly care: I grew up living with my grandmother who had COPD. I was one of her main caregivers for the better half of 5 years. I helped schedule and monitor doctor’s visits. Kept her on a very strict schedule that followed her doctor’s instructions, administered medication, picked up medications, drove her anywhere her heart desired, and spent so many hours watching the cooking network. But always found every second so much fun. I worked as a patient services supervisor for a very reputable physical therapy company so I understand the details of American health insurance better than most. I also learned many fall prevention, basic mobility training, and mobility support throughout my years there. I have always been someone who loves to spend my time with the generations from before me. Before she passed, my great grandma, who lived in Apple Valley, and I would talk on the phone almost daily, spend hours writing letters back and forth because she felt it was a lost art, went on road trips with over 16 hour long drives. Just chatting and enjoying. I love old movies, TV shows, music and am happy to help with any needs to help the person in your life in any way I can. While also hopefully alleviating any stress from you any way I can.

I’m a friendly, responsible, and caring person with experience working with children, families, and pets. I’m originally from Peru and have been living in the United States for several years. I enjoy helping others, staying active, and creating a safe and positive environment. I offer childcare, babysitting, pet care, light meal preparation, homework help, and help with daily activities. I’m responsible, dependable, and happy to adapt to each family’s needs. I’m comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, young children, and school-age children. I understand that each age group has different needs, and I always focus on safety, patience, and making children feel comfortable. enjoy playing games, doing arts and crafts, reading, dancing, listening to music, going for walks, and doing age-appropriate activities that keep children active and engaged. I can help with homework, prepare simple and healthy meals, and keep children entertained with creative activities. I also enjoy dancing and fitness, so l love incorporating movement and music into activities with children. I have food safety training/certification and Zumba instructor training. I'm also committed to learning and following each family's safety and care instructions. I have experience helping and caring for seniors with patience, kindness, and respect. I also worked through the IHSS (In-Home Supportive Services) program in San Francisco, where I provided support with daily activities and non-medical needs. I can help with cooking, light housekeeping, errands, grocery shopping, transportation, companionship, and daily activities. I enjoy helping people and making their day easier. I'm patient, caring, and I enjoy listening and keeping people company. I'm comfortable caring for pets and understand that every pet has its own personality and routine. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping their space clean. I'm responsible and always follow the owner's instructions carefully.

“Karina took care of my siblings like no one else, as she not only created a safe space for them but also suggested a series of recreational activities that my siblings continue to practice today, such as drawing, painting, and playing soccer. Additionally, she always ensured that my siblings were comfortable, well-fed, and surrounded by lots of love. I highly recommend Karina's caregiving!”

Hi! I am a babysitter with over five years of experience and just moved to Long Beach from Napa Valley. I am attending Cal State University Long Beach to get my Bachelor's in Interior Design and have a very flexible school schedule. I have worked with families with children aged 1 to 10 years old and aid in household tasks, everyday duties, and schoolwork. I have done both babysitting and nannying, and am very experienced in caring for children of all ages as well as accommodating the family's everyday routine and needs. I am looking forward to meeting more of my new community!
