15 years of nursing. Worked in home health with both pediatric and elderly patients. I am very friendly and love taking care of children/adults who need me. I take pride in doing my best with each case and each challenge. I am also an animal lover, and pet owner. I have a cat and a dog. They are both very mellow and friendly. I am honest and reliable and I am looking for a good family who may need my help.
Hello! My name is Irene! I have been working with children for over 17 years. I am a very fun and energetic individual who enjoys and appreciates children and their curiosity for the world. I have been working with children of all ages for over 17 yrs. I have a Bachelors degree in early childhood, I am Montessori trained, CPR and first aide certified. I am looking for opportunities to work after my primary job. I have been fully vaccinated!
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!
Hi, my name is Genine, and I’m currently a senior majoring in education and psychology. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve cared for children of all ages, including infants and school-aged kids, for 2 years. I enjoy engaging in creative activities like crafts, tutoring, outdoor play, and even baking lessons! My experience also includes helping with homework and organizing fun, educational games. I’m certified in pediatric First Aid, CPR, and water safety, ensuring your family is in safe hands. I’m great with pets and offer walking, feeding, and playtime services. As a household assistant, I can cook, clean, run errands, and help keep things organized. Friendly, reliable, and flexible, I’m here to provide care tailored to your family’s unique needs!
I’m Priscilla, a fellow mom just looking to support another family with night care/date nights, occasional care, or short-term babysitting. The little one I was caring for recently started daycare, so I’m hoping to connect with a new family who needs someone loving, patient, and reliable. Additionally, they still contact me asking to care for baby if needed. As a nursing student, my schedule can be a little unique, but I’m usually up studying until 2–3 AM anyway, so evenings and nights work beautifully for me! (My school schedule is completely online until April 12th) A little about me 😊 • I’m 20 and a mama to my sweet, adventurous almost 19 month old son • I’m the oldest of 5 (ages 3–15), so caring for kids is second nature • One of my siblings has William syndrome and on the spectrum, so I’m familiar with adapting care, gentle communication, and meeting children exactly where they are • I love walks, reading, hands-on play, arts & crafts, and trying new recipes when I get the chance I’m a low-to-no-screen caregiver — we rarely use screens at home, so I absolutely understand and respect families who want engaging, present, and mindful care. I’m happy to keep little ones entertained with play, imagination, and comfort without devices. I’m also very comfortable following sleep routines and bedtime schedules, and can keep your nighttime rhythm consistent while you enjoy your well deserved time away. I can provide three references with families I’ve worked with and 2 of my personal family reference letters if needed !! 😊
