Hi! My name is Mary-Jo, but I usually go by MJ! I graduated from CSULB in 2023 with a double major of Child Development and Family Studies as well as Family Life Education. I am offering child care and pet care services. I love caring for kids and I have been babysitting for over five years now. I am currently working as a Behavioral Technician and I have experience working with kids on the spectrum. I've babysat kids of ages ranging from newborn - 14 years old.
“She came on time and was so kind and caring towards my son. I could tell my son had so much fun with her!”
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.
am a dedicated and warm-hearted Nanny with over 7 years of professional childcare experience caring for children ranging from infants to school-age. My approach centers on creating a safe, stimulating, and loving environment where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and cognitively. I love incorporating hands-on learning, outdoor exploration, and creative play into our daily routine. Parents value my strong communication, reliability, and proactive approach to managing household routines. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, and am genuinely passionate about helping children reach their full potential.
Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and experienced childcare provider with 3 years of daycare experience. I love working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children. I’m patient, responsible, and focused on providing a safe, fun, and loving environment. I’m happy to help with playtime, meals, naps, and daily routines. I’m available mainly on weekends. I’d love to meet your family and help out.
As a single mom, I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to manage work, family, household, responsibilities, and everything in between especially when you don’t have that extra set of hands when you need it most. My children are older now and I’m at a point in life where I’d love to use the time and experience I’ve gained as a mom to help other families. I know that sometimes what a family needs isn’t something complicated it’s simply someone dependable, caring and trustworthy. who can step in and make the day a little easier. I’m available to help with childcare, light house tasks, meal preparation, organizing, and everyday responsibilities that can sometimes feel overwhelming. Whether you need someone to help keep your children company, lend a hand around the house, take them to the park, or simply give you a few hours to catch your breath. I’m here to help.
