Find a last-minute babysitter in Santa Ana, 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.

Hi Familes! My name is Guadalupe (Lupita) and I am a current 4th year undergraduate student at the University of California-Irvine studying Education and Political Science. My qualifications include: being a summer camp counselor taking care of kiddos ranging from 8-15, an academic tutor for high schoolers ranging from 9th-12th grade, and being a loving cat mom to three children.

As a single mom, I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to manage work, family, household, responsibilities, and everything in between especially when you don’t have that extra set of hands when you need it most. My children are older now and I’m at a point in life where I’d love to use the time and experience I’ve gained as a mom to help other families. I know that sometimes what a family needs isn’t something complicated it’s simply someone dependable, caring and trustworthy. who can step in and make the day a little easier. I’m available to help with childcare, light house tasks, meal preparation, organizing, and everyday responsibilities that can sometimes feel overwhelming. Whether you need someone to help keep your children company, lend a hand around the house, take them to the park, or simply give you a few hours to catch your breath. I’m here to help.

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.

Helped children successfully navigate their schedules through preparing meals, changing diapers, and transporting them to school, doctor’s appointments, and extracurricular activities. Engaged in household chores including cleaning floors, laundry, washing dishes, and tidying rooms, ensuring a neat & clean home. Provided emotional support through active listening and meaningful social engagement.
