Hello ! ! ! Graduated from the University of Alabama in 2019. I work for a real estate tech start up during the week. I have always enjoyed babysitting and love picking up a babysitting gig here and there. It has always been a fun thing for me and a great way to meet families! I began my babysitting career in middle school and since then I have worked as a mothers help, date night sitter, summer break nanny, and weekend overnight sitter. For 3 years of high school I worked at a local yoga studio in childcare, and spent three summers as a camp counselor. I have a wide range of experience with all ages throughout the past 12+ years of working for a wide range of families!

She is patient, approaching every situation with calm understanding and genuine care. Mitra also communicates beautifully. She keeps me informed, checks in when needed, and makes sure we’re always aligned. I especially appreciated the respect she showed for my parenting style.

Giovanna Newport Beach
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a loving, proactive, and compassionate nanny and house assistant with over seven years of experience caring for children ages 2 to 16. I’m super energetic, patient, and always bring positive energy into the home. I truly love what I do, helping families stay organized, keeping the home running smoothly, and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids to grow and feel loved. Right now, I care for three wonderful kids (ages 10, 12, and 14). My days include school drop-offs, organizing after-school activities like sports and tutoring, helping with errands, managing the family calendar, and keeping the home clean and tidy. Before that, I cared for an amazing 12-year-old boy with autism for almost three years, supporting his daily routine, school, and therapies with patience and consistency, while also helping with light housekeeping, errands, and pet care. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of experience balancing family routines, promoting positive behavior, and creating a calm and joyful environment. I’m CPR certified, fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and have a clean driving record. I’m currently based in Redwood City but moving to Newport Beach at the end of the year, and I’ll be ready to start a new position the first week of January 2026. I’m looking for a wonderful family that feels like the right fit, where I can bring my heart, energy, and experience to make everyday life easier and happier. I’d love to hear from you! ✨

Jayda Newport Beach
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I am Jayda! I have spent the last three years working as a pediatric dental assistant with over 3,000 hours of hands on experience with children ranging from 6 months to 19 years old. Working with kids is not something I fell into, it is something I have actively pursued my whole life through volunteering, mission work, and now graduate school. I hold a BA in Biology and am currently enrolled in a Master's program in Occupational Therapy with a pediatric focus because working with children is truly my calling. I have extensive experience with high needs children including those with ADHD, autism, and sensory processing disorders. I know how to read a child, meet them where they are, and turn a hard moment into a good one. I am calm under pressure and genuinely love the challenge of connecting with kids who need a little extra patience and creativity. Beyond my clinical background I have volunteered at a children's museum, taught Sunday school, and traveled to Jamaica to lead a sports camp for underprivileged youth. I grew up on a small farm in upstate New York in a tight knit small town community where neighbors looked out for each other and family came first. That upbringing gave me a grounded, nurturing nature that I carry into everything I do with kids. I am BLS and First Aid certified, comfortable preparing home cooked meals, and experienced cooking for dietary restrictions including gluten free. If you are looking for someone who is warm, reliable, highly experienced, and will genuinely invest in your children, I would love to connect with your family.
