$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Cypress, CA

Hi, my name is Kristyna. I’m a reliable and caring babysitter with several years of hands-on experience working with children of different ages. I spent 2 years as an au pair, where I provided full-time care—managing daily routines, organizing activities, helping with meals, and creating a safe, fun environment for kids to thrive. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and aim to keep them engaged, happy, and well cared for while giving parents peace of mind. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs and personality. I’m currently looking for date night babysitting opportunities and occasional help. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, bedtime routines, homework, and fun activities to keep your kids entertained.
