"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Elizabeth $20 per hour for 1 child
I truly enjoy the energy and joy that comes from being around young people. I am local to the Orange County and would love to discuss how my experience as a parent and grandparent can provide your family with reliable and dependable care.
Ariana $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Ariana and I’m currently a sophomore in college. I am offering childcare ranging from any age, as well as some household services. I absolutely love being a babysitter and have been watching all age ranges since I was 13 years old. Mostly unpaid, since I truly just love kids! I would love go help with other tasks as well such as tutoring, driving to appointments/activities, tidying up, doing laundry, and even running errands! Another plus is I am bilingual! Fluent in Spanish and English. I am also happy to work with families that have pets.
Deena $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Deena and I'm a first-year college student at UC Urvine with a genuine love for working with children. I've been helping out with my younger brother since I was 7, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to connect with kids of all ages. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I plan to become a child therapist in the future, so working with kids is something I'm truly passionate about. Families can count on me to be attentive, nurturing, and dependable.
Sherlyn $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Sherlyn and i’m currently in my third year at Saddleback College. I am offering only childcare. I really like working with kids because I grew up with lots of cousins and come from a big family. Responsibilities I have had would be driving to/from school, crafts, and gymnastics classes where I worked at a gymnasium for 1 1/2 years with kids of ages 3-13 years.
