Shirley $35 per hour for 1 child

I began babysitting as a teenager and have cared for children of many different ages over the years. I’m also a mother of two grown children, so I have firsthand experience caring for children through every stage, from infancy to adulthood. I completed Early Childhood Education coursework and spent much of my professional career supporting children, mothers, and families as a Domestic Violence Counselor/Advocate and through a Riverside County family treatment program. I’m patient, dependable, safety-conscious, and committed to helping children feel comfortable, respected, and cared for. I enjoy reading, crafts, outdoor activities, and encouraging children to learn through play. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities and would love to provide a local family with warm, reliable, and compassionate care.

Talia $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Talia, and I currently work as a pediatric care partner and unit secretary at CHLA. Through my experience in pediatric healthcare, I've developed a calm, patient, and attentive approach to caring for infants, children, and adolescents while supporting both their emotional and daily care needs. My experience includes monitoring vital signs, assisting with feeding and hygiene, maintaining patient safety, and helping care for babies and children with medical and developmental needs, including former preemies/NICU transfers and children with epilepsy, autism, and ADHD. In addition to my pediatric healthcare background, I also have experience providing childcare support for family friends and children within my community. Families would describe me as dependable, compassionate, observant, and nurturing.

Daniella $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Daniella. I have almost a year of experience working as an after school teacher with children from first through sixth grade, along with over four years of babysitting and childcare volunteer experience. I’m known in my church community as a “baby and child whisperer” because of how naturally I connect with children and how comfortable they feel around me. I’m very calm, nurturing, and patient, while also being fun, playful, and engaging. I’m highly responsible, organized, and attentive to routines, safety, and each child’s individual needs. I’m comfortable handling all childcare responsibilities, including meals, activities, homework help, and daily routines. I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment where children feel cared for and parents feel confident and at ease. I’m available Monday through Friday at any time, and Saturdays from early morning until 12 PM.

Stephanie $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant with over 30 years of childcare experience, caring for children from newborns through teens. I’m also certified in CPR, First Aid, and BLS. I’m patient, nurturing, and dependable, and I enjoy helping children learn through reading, singing, games, and creative play. I also have experience caring for elderly women, including those living with dementia and Parkinson’s disease, as well as those receiving hospice care. I believe everyone deserves kindness, dignity, and compassionate attention. I’m happy to help with children’s meals, bottle washing, children’s laundry, and light housekeeping related to their care. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment while giving families peace of mind that their loved ones are well cared for.

Anayah $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Anayah Walker. I am currently a Paraeducator. I am the oldest of 5 kids with my sibling's ages ranging from 4-14. I have been a major part in the upbringing of all of my siblings. With that being said, I'm naturally a caregiver. I have experience in being an in-home behavioral technician and an enrichment counselor working with ages 4-17. I know how to bring calm, patience, and structure to busy afternoons. I'm CPR-certified with my own car for school pickups and activity drop-offs. I'm also more than happy to help keep the house running smoothly with simple tasks.
