Booked by 1 family in Lake Elsinore, 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. :)”

Hello! I am currently a full-time student at UCLA on summer break! Growing up with a large extended family meant I spent my summers watching my little cousins, nieces, and nephews. I have the most experience watching children ages 3-7, however I love kids and am comfortable with any age above toddlers!

Dania $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Dania. I have several years of babysitting experience, starting at age 15 caring for my youngest sibling and later helping with younger cousins and family friends. Working with children has always come naturally to me, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. I’m patient, organized, responsible, and dependable, and I always do my best to make both kids and parents feel comfortable and supported. I’m bilingual and speak both English and Spanish. I’m also happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, and keeping things organized around the house as needed. I enjoy building genuine connections with the families I work with and creating a caring, structured, and fun environment for children.
