Hi! I have 16 years of childcare experience from nannying, babysitting, lifeguarding, teaching swim lessons, camp counseling, and interning at Rady Children’s hospital. For my entire collegiate career I had one main family and also worked for Chicago's #1 childcare agency, KGrace. I’ve also worked for childcare agencies in San Diego and Orange County. In August of 2023 I completed my medical doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese medicine. I have a passion for working with children and love to be around their energy! I am CPR, first aid, epipen certified; I am up-to-date on all vaccines. I have a spotless driving and criminal history record. I am California Trust Line certified; this is legally the background check needed in CA to watch children. I love yoga, hiking, painting, trying new restaurants, and traveling. I look forward to speaking with you!

Hi there! I’m Summer — it’s so nice to virtually meet you and I’d love the chance to get to know you and your family! 🤍 A little about me: My husband and I have been on a journey to start a family of our own for the past three years. We’ve gone through the full IVF process (what a ride!) and while it hasn’t worked out yet, I absolutely adore kids and can’t wait for the day we have some of our own running around. I have over twenty years of experience with little ones (ages 6mo+), and I’m a big fan of park playdates, naptime routines, and even tackling those stinky diaper situations with a smile 😆 I recently completed a background check, car inspection, medical clearance, and I’m certified in First Aid and child CPR. Bonus: I’m also a Rover-approved dog sitter, so I’m more than happy to help out with your furry family members too! I’m born and raised here in OC and just moved back from LA. I’m looking to fill my schedule and connect with a new family or two! If you’re looking for a kind, reliable, and energetic helping hand — I’d love to chat and see how I can support your family. ❤️ Thanks so much for reading! Summer

Nakisa $1 per hour for 1 child

I recently moved to California from Toronto, Canada, for my new role as a Principal Systems Engineer at a prestigious medical technology company. While I love my career, I also really enjoy spending my free time with children and being around their energy, curiosity, and creativity. I have experience babysitting for about three years, and I’ve always naturally enjoyed caring for and playing with children. I’m a very patient, responsible, and playful person, and I love doing activities with kids rather than simply watching them. One of my dream jobs has actually always been to work in a daycare or spend my days caring for and interacting with children. Babysitting gives me a wonderful opportunity to do something I genuinely enjoy while also helping a family who needs a trustworthy and caring person for their little ones. My work schedule is Monday through Friday, 9 AM–5 PM, so I’m available for babysitting after 5 PM on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I’d be happy to work with your family’s schedule and help whenever I can . Note: I am doing this job as volunteer work to help families.
