Hello, my name is Rana! I’m 24 years old and I recently graduated from pharmacy school. I’m I have prior to keep up with babysitting as I study for my board exams and navigate my main career. I have prior experience babysitting for kids ages 3-13. I love spending time with kids and I’m very extroverted, so I know how to keep them entertained! I’m dedicated to making sure they have a fun, safe, and healthy time. I can assist with their studies, arts/ crafts, cleaning, playtime, light cooking, and preparing for bed. I also have two 2 cats and prior cat-sitting experience through this app. I’m also available anytime throughout the week!

Ryan $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ryan. I am 22 years old and I am currently an undergraduate student at Cal State Fullerton for my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I am offering child care and pet care! I am a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT) with over two years of experience working with children with autism and other developmental disabilities. I use ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy techniques to help kids build new skills, reach their goals, and improve daily behaviors in a clinic or home setting. This work has taught me patience, empathy, and how to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. Before becoming an RBT, I spent years as a competitive dancer since age 3 and later worked as an assistant dance teacher for children ages 4–12. I love bringing creativity, movement, and play into my time with kids to keep things fun and engaging. I grew up in Palm Springs but now live in Orange County, and I occasionally visit my hometown, so I’m open to jobs in both areas. I’m also happy to provide pet care! My family has a beagle, and I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, and playtime (cats included!). I’m comfortable caring for large animals too. Outside of work, I love music, dancing, festivals, concerts, fashion, shopping, arts and crafts, reading, movies, and anything creative. I’d describe myself as outgoing and adventurous, with a genuine passion for helping others and learning new things.

Tiffany $23 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been working with kids since 2005, and caring for families has always felt like second nature to me. Over the years I’ve been a live-in nanny and a house manager, so I’m very comfortable juggling busy schedules, helping with homework, keeping the home organized, and making sure kids feel safe and supported. I’ve worked with children of all ages and I really enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and what makes them feel happy and understood. I’m reliable, calm, and confident handling whatever the day brings. My goal is always to make life easier for parents while creating a warm, fun environment for their kids.
