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.

Lexi $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Lexi and I’m a freshman at Chapman University looking for a part-time babysitting job in Orange. I have over eight years of experience caring for children and I am a Red Cross Safe Sitter as well as CPR and Heimlich certified. I am majoring in Psychology and have always loved working with kids. Since I do not have my car on campus, I am hoping to find a position within walking distance from Chapman, however, I am also willing to uber. I am responsible, compassionate, and committed to creating a safe and fun environment for children, and I would love to connect if you are looking for a reliable sitter. I also have extensive experience babysitting children with autism and disabilities.

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.

Chelsea $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Chelsea. I am 20 years old and a current college student at CSULB. Originally, I am from Riverside, where I get most of my babysitting experience. Professionally I worked with several companies that provide childcare to several different types of children, including those with learning and physical disabilities. I currently work with the YMCA at an elementary school. In this role, I am responsible for 20 students, making sure they complete their homework and providing snacks/supper and enrichment lessons to further their education. Education is very important to me as someone working with kids. Outside of childcare, I do have experience with small dogs and cats and have no problem providing household services. I look forward to working with you and your family. :)
