Hi! I have 16 years of childcare experience from nannying, babysitting, lifeguarding, teaching swim lessons, camp counseling, and interning at Rady Children’s hospital. For my entire collegiate career I had one main family and also worked for Chicago's #1 childcare agency, KGrace. I’ve also worked for childcare agencies in San Diego and Orange County. In August of 2023 I completed my medical doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese medicine. I have a passion for working with children and love to be around their energy! I am CPR, first aid, epipen certified; I am up-to-date on all vaccines. I have a spotless driving and criminal history record. I am California Trust Line certified; this is legally the background check needed in CA to watch children. I love yoga, hiking, painting, trying new restaurants, and traveling. I look forward to speaking with you!

Michaela you are amazing. Thank you

Hello! My name is Katie, I currently work as an early education tutor at Kumon in Aliso Viejo and have been an Art Instructor in Laguna Beach for the past three years, helping kids explore their creativity and build confidence. I’ve also worked in church nurseries since I was 12, where I’ve gained valuable experience caring for young children. Additionally, I’ve spent a lot of time caring for my younger brother, who is 9 years younger than me, ever since he was a baby. These experiences have taught me patience, creativity, and a love for working with kids! When I’m not working or studying, I enjoy spending my free time painting, going to the beach, and playing with my dog! I’d love to bring my care to your family!

Katie was one of the best sitters we have ever had. Our four year old adored her. She brought art projects, made dinner, and brought a cheerful attitude to both days. We can’t wait to work with her again.

My name is Shireen. I graduated from UCLA, and I’m currently in nursing school at CSUSM. I work really well with kids, I enjoy playing and taking care of them. I am a responsible and reliable young lady. I have been babysitting/ nannying for 10 years with all ranges of age. I have been used to kids my whole life because I come from a big family. I have 4 siblings, and I used to take care of my little siblings since I was 12 years old. I can help tutor, play with them, and be a good role model. I love being a good influence towards children, and I have a passion for caring about them. I would treat them just like if I were to have my own kid. If you have anymore questions feel free to contact me!

Hi! My name is Sheena and I can assure you my qualifications, personality, and attention to detail will make the pay worth your while. My experience ranges from all over. It began when I started volunteering at my church with the childcare center! I knew I had a passion and decided to go to college for early childhood education. I finished my schooling in 2022 and wanted to explore a teaching career. I then worked in a preschool for almost a year and a half. I became CPR/First Aid certified there and still am! I had my own T-K classroom with 24 children and loved finding fun ways to lead them to learn. This included social studies, math, science, writing, language/literacy, dramatic play, as well as social and emotional in my daily goals. When attendance was low I would “float” to different classes and spend time with all ages, giving me experience with the entire school that was varying from ages 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4. The director of the school would love to give me a great reference. I have been told I have a calming presence yet spunky character so it works out great for children and I to bond! Additionally, I have a younger sister with extreme allergies and a mom with disabilities so I can understand special circumstances and will prioritize your needs and directions with the utmost respect. I want you to know that I was raised “treat others the way you want to be treated“. I will leave an area looking better than I found it, ask questions so I get things done right, and value your family and home as if it was my own.

Sheena was wonderful with our two children!

As a childcare provider, my passion lies in fostering children's growth and development. With three years of experience, I'm skilled at nurturing the well-being of children aged 0 to 3. My patient and creative nature allows me to connect with children, encouraging their imagination and curiosity. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular updates on their child's day and addressing any concerns. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure a safe and structured environment. Beyond childcare, I can assist with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. My CPR training and coursework in early child development further enhance my ability to provide a nurturing environment for your child. My commitment to supporting families and making a positive impact on children's lives drives me to be the best caregiver for your family.

Homa, has been an absolute gem for our child. From the very first day, she has shown exceptional care and dedication. She has a natural ability to connect with kids, making them feel comfortable and entertained. She is incredibly reliable and punctual. We never had to worry about her arrival time, and she always kept us informed about any changes in her schedule. Her communication skills are excellent, and she is always available to provide updates on how the day went with our child. One of the things we appreciate the most is her creativity and enthusiasm in engaging our child in various activities. She comes up with fun and educational games that keep our child entertained and help with their development. Our child has learned so much and had so much fun under her care. Moreover, she is very responsible and attentive to our child's needs. She ensures that our child follows their routines, eats healthy meals, and gets enough rest. In addition to her outstanding caregiving skills, she is also a trustworthy person. We feel completely at ease leaving our child in her care, knowing that they are in safe and capable hands. Overall, I highly recommend her as a babysitter. She has been a fantastic addition to our family, and we are incredibly grateful for her dedication and hard work. If you are looking for a reliable, caring, and engaging babysitter, she is the perfect choice.
