Booked by 35 families in Garden Grove, CA

My name is Markie and I am a 29 year-old with a B.A. in Legal Studies and Politics. I have just completed law school and I am currently awaiting CA Bar results. I am the middle child of 5 children and have always played a huge role in looking after my siblings. I have worked as an au pair or live-in nanny and tutor in Italy for two young children. I absolutely love children and even took several child development classes in my undergraduate career. I am also CPR certified. I have also been told I can make some amazing Mexican food dishes!

Markie! Is absolutely amazing. We will definitely be reaching out to her again. She was great with my kiddo and super friendly!

Kaylee Garden Grove
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kaylee, and I recently graduated from an esthetician program. I currently work at a gym and have over two years of experience working in daycare, caring for children from 4 months to 13 years old. I truly enjoy working with children of all ages and creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for them. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and happy to help with playtime, meals, homework, and daily routines. Outside of work, I have three Border Collies and love taking them to the park and on walks. I also love dog care and house sitting, and I am very comfortable caring for pets while their families are away. I also have personal experience caring for my grandparents, but my main focus is providing dependable child care and pet care.

Karina Santa Ana
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Karina and I’m currently going to school for cosmetology! I’m offering childcare services. I love being a babysitter, I’ve watched kids from the age range of 4-10. I used to babysit for a family watching 2 kids at a time for about 2 years! I would help clean up after the kids, make sure they did homework if they had any, do some coloring and outdoor activities if they wanted to, make sure they took a bath before bedtime and provided a safe environment in the comfort of their own home!
