"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Emily 2 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child
$20 per hour for 1 child
Hello! Caring for children and babies is what I do best. As a natural empath and caregiver, I feel it's a skill that just kind of exists for me organically. I think children deserve to be seen and heard, and their feelings matter. I love to have fun and be silly, but am also very calm. I've had parents describe me as their child's "first friend" (let me grab a tissue), which I think is a lovely and fulfilling role to have.
“I chose “other” because my answer is “all of the above”! I’ve known Emily for many years and we’ve worked together, we’re friends, she’s helped me with my kids, all of it! She is amazing with kids and though we are not related, she will always be “Auntie” to my kids. She’s very gentle and kind, but knows when to tell kids no. She’s really patient and understanding with kids and the different emotions they go through. She is very neat and always on time and I would recommend her to any family who needed help with their child care needs!”
Karina $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!
Jazzy $23 per hour for 1 child
Andrea $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi, my name is Andrea, and I currently work with elementary school–aged children, where I support homework completion and lead curriculum-based activities. I am highly creative and enjoy incorporating arts, crafts, and engaging projects into my work with children. I offer childcare and household support services. I have been caring for children since the age of 16, with responsibilities that include tutoring, creative activities, meal preparation, and light household tidying. Additionally, I have experience caring for my own brother, which has made me comfortable and confident working with children with disabilities. I am patient, dependable, and dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for every child in my care.
Lanae $22 per hour for 1 child
Hi, my name is Lanae! I’m 23 years old and live in Fullerton, California. I have 6 years of experience working with children, with a specialty in school-age children, along with 3 years of professional daycare experience caring for children ranging from 6 weeks to 12 years old. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a valid driver’s license, and am comfortable providing a safe, dependable, and nurturing environment for children of different ages and developmental stages. My experience includes supervising children, creating age-appropriate activities, helping with routines and homework, and supporting children’s social and emotional development. I’m passionate about working with children and take pride in being responsible, patient, dependable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I’m looking forward to finding a family where I can provide reliable childcare and become a trusted part of their support system.
