Hi - My name is kelly Soto, I am a 26 year old female living in Tustin, CA. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have been a nanny for the last 6 years for 3 different families. I grew up in a big Hispanic household and have 6 siblings. As an experienced and compassionate caregiver, I am excited to offer my services as a nanny to families looking for a responsible, nurturing, and reliable professional to care for their children. With over 10 years of hands-on experience in childcare, I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment for children of all ages. I also can cook, clean, and run errands.

Great communication and amazing with my German shepherd that can be reactive at times. Sent pictures during their walk. Flexible with whatever we might need during her scheduled time. So happy we met Kelly and will be booking again with her soon!

Booked by 1 family in Orange, CA

Hi! My name is Rana and I’m 23 years old, currently in my 4th year of pharmacy school. I have experience babysitting toddlers/ kids among family/ friends as well child-care volunteering for community events. I love spending time with kids and would describe myself as very social so I can spark up a convo and keep kids entertained! I’m dedicated to making sure they have a fun, safe, and healthy time. I can assist with their studies, arts/ crafts, cleaning, playtime, and light cooking. I also have two 2 cats and prior cat-sitting experience. I’m mainly available on weekends and weekday evenings. I’m also CPR certified, can administer injections/ medications if needed, and am mental health first aid certified as well!

Karina Santa Ana
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Karina and I’m currently going to school for cosmetology! I’m offering childcare services. I love being a babysitter, I’ve watched kids from the age range of 4-10. I used to babysit for a family watching 2 kids at a time for about 2 years! I would help clean up after the kids, make sure they did homework if they had any, do some coloring and outdoor activities if they wanted to, make sure they took a bath before bedtime and provided a safe environment in the comfort of their own home!
