Arianna $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Arianna! I’m currently working part-time as a Pediatric Physical Therapy Assistant, and I’m looking to continue nannying and babysitting part-time or on an as-needed basis. I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages, including providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while parents are away. My experience includes supervising children, preparing meals and snacks, helping with homework, planning age-appropriate activities, maintaining routines, and assisting with bedtime and daily care. Working in pediatric physical therapy has also given me additional experience working with children and supporting their individual needs and development. I’m responsible, patient, caring, and dependable, and I truly enjoy working with children!

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Newport Beach, CA

Hi, my name is Kristyna. I’m a reliable and caring babysitter with several years of hands-on experience working with children of different ages. I spent 2 years as an au pair, where I provided full-time care—managing daily routines, organizing activities, helping with meals, and creating a safe, fun environment for kids to thrive. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and aim to keep them engaged, happy, and well cared for while giving parents peace of mind. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs and personality. I’m currently looking for date night babysitting opportunities and occasional help. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, bedtime routines, homework, and fun activities to keep your kids entertained.
