Hello! I have previously worked taking care of special needs kids K-6th grade. I have extensive experience caring for children with special needs, including those with developmental, behavioral, and physical challenges. My approach focuses on patience, understanding, and creating a safe, supportive environment where each child can thrive. I’m familiar with individualized care routines, communication strategies, and adaptive activities that encourage learning and independence. This applies to all kids! I take pride in building trust with both children and parents, and I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate care that meets each child’s unique needs. I am also open to other opportunities such as house sitting, caring for pets (I have one of my own), helping with errands, and other. You can message me with questions.

Booked by 1 family in Homeland, CA

Hi! I’ve been babysitting for years, working with various ages from infancy to teens. I am currently a SAHM for my own child and am looking to watch an infant along with mine (part-time preferred). Your house or mine is fine, either way. WFH parents is a plus. Willing to offer a slightly reduced rate for this arrangement. Benefits for you and your baby: - Socialization with a child their age in a more personal space - A caregiver that is well equipped in infant care - Cheaper rate - I can teach your ASL baby signs that they can use to communicate 😊 (if you’d like) Message me if you’d like to know more about how I make it work with caring for more than one child.

“Nadiia was on time and very friendly! She played with my son and did a good job with him. My son was happy with her and felt comfortable right away. :)”

Cheryl $20 per hour for 1 child

As a mother of four sons, with two still at home, I understand the patience, love, and dedication it takes to care for children of all ages. Raising my boys has been the most rewarding experience of my life, and I truly enjoy watching children grow, learn, and gain confidence. I am a dependable, caring, and nurturing caregiver who creates a safe, fun, and supportive environment. Whether it's helping with homework, planning engaging activities, driving children to school, playdates, or sporting events, or simply being a positive and reliable presence, I'm happy to support your family's needs. I believe every child deserves encouragement, kindness, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I look forward to building a trusting relationship with your family and providing the same level of care I have always given my own children.
