Mallorie $18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Temecula, CA

Hi! My name is Mallorie and I am a mother to one 14 month old. I am currently going to college for Occupational Therapy with a focus in Pediatrics. I have always had a passion for working with kids and would love to provide your family with safe and loving childcare! I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and have experience working with children 0-12 year olds. I would be happy to provide references if you ask. I would love to babysit in my home and can do pickups/dropoffs. I can do last minute drop ins depending on the situation. If I am caring for your child in my home I am open to installing in home cameras that you will have access to while they are with me. I will always have fun activities planned and can provide meals+snacks unless you want to provide your own. I love all animals and have two cats and a dog of my own.

Booked by 1 family in Temecula, CA

Hi CA Families! 🌞🌉✨ New to the app but not to child care! I have references available :) I’m a beach lover, student, nature enthusiast, 25-year-old nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for kids of all ages and abilities. I’m a recent graduate with a degree in psychology & a minor in counseling and plan to attend graduate school asap. My long-term goal is to become a Child Life Specialist or Pediatric Psychologist. Supporting kids through their growth isn’t just work for me, it’s truly my calling. I’ve worked closely with autistic children as a nanny, B.C.A, and a para-educator with SFUSD, and I deeply value meeting each child exactly where they are. 💐🤱🏼 My background in psychology, love of neuroscience, training in Waldorf education and yoga training, all shape the way I show up: grounded, playful, attuned, and developmentally aware. I focus a lot on emotional regulation, connection, creativity, and building confidence. 🧠🍎🎨💟 I’ve cared for everything from a bustling household of six kids to providing steady overnight support for a nurse mom working long shifts. I’m adaptable and calm under pressure, and I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of busy family life. I’ve also worked private events, helping create safe and fun spaces for little ones while parents can relax or focus! 🗓️🧺🌺 Before fully diving into childcare, I worked for a catering company, music venue, and restaurants, so I’m very comfortable with meal prep, packing lunches, prepping healthy snacks, and helping families stay organized around food and daily tasks like laundry or organizing. 👩‍🍳🍳 I’m also comfortable with basic medication administration and toileting support. ⛑️🚽🙈 I love taking kids outside — beach days, park hangs, nature walks, or city adventures. Fresh air and movement are big in my care style. I incorporate music, storytelling, and creative play often. 🚶‍♀️🌈🦋🌻🎼 I also speak ASL and light Spanish. 🤘🇪🇸 I am certified in CPR as well. 🏥🩺 If you’re looking for someone warm, intuitive, outdoorsy, and deeply invested in your child’s well-being, I’d love to connect. 🤍 open to setting up zoom meetings or interviews any time. Thank you!

“Sierra arrived 10 minutes early, took my kids to play outside and kept them safe on a city excursion to the local hardware store. The kids were already asking if she’d come back. Highly recommended! ”

Cheryl $20 per hour for 1 child

As a mother of four sons, with two still at home, I understand the patience, love, and dedication it takes to care for children of all ages. Raising my boys has been the most rewarding experience of my life, and I truly enjoy watching children grow, learn, and gain confidence. I am a dependable, caring, and nurturing caregiver who creates a safe, fun, and supportive environment. Whether it's helping with homework, planning engaging activities, driving children to school, playdates, or sporting events, or simply being a positive and reliable presence, I'm happy to support your family's needs. I believe every child deserves encouragement, kindness, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I look forward to building a trusting relationship with your family and providing the same level of care I have always given my own children.
