Haley $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Haley! I am offering child care, pet sitting, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns and infants (including twins!) for over a decade. I absolutely love both cats and dogs! I am open to other animals as well. I also work as a household assistant and can clean and run errands as needed.

Shirley $35 per hour for 1 child

I began babysitting as a teenager and have cared for children of many different ages over the years. I’m also a mother of two grown children, so I have firsthand experience caring for children through every stage, from infancy to adulthood. I completed Early Childhood Education coursework and spent much of my professional career supporting children, mothers, and families as a Domestic Violence Counselor/Advocate and through a Riverside County family treatment program. I’m patient, dependable, safety-conscious, and committed to helping children feel comfortable, respected, and cared for. I enjoy reading, crafts, outdoor activities, and encouraging children to learn through play. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities and would love to provide a local family with warm, reliable, and compassionate care.

Danielle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Danielle, a mom of three with both personal and professional experience working with children of different ages, personalities, and needs. I have an Associate degree and have worked in a school setting as a Special Education Instructional Assistant. Both professionally and as a parent, I have experience supporting children with a variety of needs, including anxiety, ADHD, autism, and other developmental or behavioral differences. I understand that every child is different and may need a little extra patience, structure, encouragement, flexibility, or support with transitions. I also have training in Non-Violent Crisis Intervention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and getting to know their individual personalities. I’m happy being active and playing outside, doing crafts or creative activities, playing games, helping with homework, or simply providing a calm and dependable presence. As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to have someone caring for your children who is responsible, communicative, patient, and respectful of your family’s routines. I’m primarily interested in flexible and occasional childcare, including date nights, evenings, weekends, and other short-term needs. I’m also open to discussing homework help, transportation, and other family support when it’s a good fit. I look forward to meeting some great local families!

Priscilla $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m Priscilla, a fellow mom just looking to support another family with night care/date nights, occasional care, or short-term babysitting. The little one I was caring for recently started daycare, so I’m hoping to connect with a new family who needs someone loving, patient, and reliable. Additionally, they still contact me asking to care for baby if needed. As a nursing student, my schedule can be a little unique, but I’m usually up studying until 2–3 AM anyway, so evenings and nights work beautifully for me! (My school schedule is completely online until April 12th) A little about me 😊 • I’m 20 and a mama to my sweet, adventurous almost 19 month old son • I’m the oldest of 5 (ages 3–15), so caring for kids is second nature • One of my siblings has William syndrome and on the spectrum, so I’m familiar with adapting care, gentle communication, and meeting children exactly where they are • I love walks, reading, hands-on play, arts & crafts, and trying new recipes when I get the chance I’m a low-to-no-screen caregiver — we rarely use screens at home, so I absolutely understand and respect families who want engaging, present, and mindful care. I’m happy to keep little ones entertained with play, imagination, and comfort without devices. I’m also very comfortable following sleep routines and bedtime schedules, and can keep your nighttime rhythm consistent while you enjoy your well deserved time away. I can provide three references with families I’ve worked with and 2 of my personal family reference letters if needed !! 😊

Soumaya $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi Mom and Dads! You can call me Maya. I recently moved back to California after living in Honolulu and am excited to connect with wonderful families in the area! I have accumulated now 10 years of babysitting/nannying experience as I’ve babysat toddlers to teens. I truly enjoy being around children and getting to know their unique personalities as I come from a big family. 🤗 I’m very attentive at my job and love interacting with children while being creative and making time spent being responsible, fun, nurturing and patient. I make every child I babysit a priority and insure reliability. I hope to meet you soon!
