Ana $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Ana and I’m currently a senior at Dominican University of California. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household I love being a babysitter and have worked with kids ages 1-15. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and meal cooking. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own father who suffered from a stroke in 2021 and left him completely paralyzed from the right side of his body, so I am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I am more than happy to work with families that have cats and dogs. I am also more than happy to take dogs out for walks and to appointments if needed!

Juliana $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Juliana, and I’m a caring, experienced, and highly reliable childcare provider with almost 10 years of experience working with children from 2 months old to 3+ years old. I was an au pair for 2.5 years and never went through a rematch. I also have over 2 years of nanny share experience and have cared for babies starting at 4 and 5 months old, supporting them through important developmental stages into toddlerhood. At the moment, I’m looking for overnight childcare opportunities for specific situations, such as events, date nights, weekend trips, or times when parents need extra support. I’m available for weekend overnights, for example from Friday night to Sunday, as well as weekday overnights from around 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM. I also have overnight experience caring for a family with three older children, ages 16, 14, and 12, so I’m comfortable providing overnight support for both younger children and older kids. One family trusted me enough to travel to Mexico for a full week while I stayed with and cared for their baby. I would be happy to provide references upon request. I’m confident with infant and toddler routines, including feeding, naps, diapering, bedtime, play, and emotional support. Families often describe me as trustworthy, patient, calm, and genuinely devoted to the children in my care. I truly love what I do and take pride in creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children feel happy and deeply cared for.

Vianca $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Vianca, a warm, caring, and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I have experience caring for babies, toddlers, and young children, and I’m comfortable helping with their daily routines, including meals, diaper changes, naps, bath time, bedtime, and keeping them engaged and entertained. I’m patient, attentive, and I always want children to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I enjoy reading, playing, doing age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, and taking trips to the park or library when appropriate. I understand that every child and family has their own routine and preferences, so I’m happy to follow your instructions and adapt to what works best for your family. My goal is for parents to feel comfortable and confident knowing their children are in good hands. I’m currently looking for occasional and part-time babysitting opportunities and would love the chance to meet your family.

Sarala $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Sarala! Right now I am looking for summer babysitting jobs before I head off to college. I am mainly looking for part-time child care work, but I am also able to run errands and drive children. I am extremely organized and can do "mothers helper" tasks to make your house run smoothly. I have extensive experience with kids. My previous jobs with kids include being a babysitter, a nanny, an assistant teacher at a preschool and a camp counselor. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include art projects, baking, and going to the park. I have my own dog and am super comfortable around them. I have experience with dog walking as well.
