Booked by 4 families in Yorba Linda, CA

Hi! My name is Eloisa I am 25 years old. I've been working with kids since I was 14 years old. I am offering childcare. I've taken care of kids from the ages of 1 month- 13 years old. The children I cared for were mostly from family and friends. Recently I did take care of 2 kids outside of my family. Which I worked with them for a little over a year. My responsibilities were driving to/from school, light cooking, helping with homework, laundry, and driving them to their after school activities. As well as overnight stays when the parents needed to travel. I did a lot of activities with the kids such as take them out to the park, bowling, crafts, baking, and etc. I am very compassionate person, adaptable, patient, and willing to learn new things if needed. Aside from this job I have worked with multiple other kids ranging from 1 month old to 14 years old. Some being one time or occasional jobs which I have enjoyed doing. I can talk more about these experiences if needed it's just a lot to write it. I went back to school earlier this year and I took a few child development classes and I have in the past as well. :)

Ryan Placentia
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ryan. I am 22 years old and I am currently an undergraduate student at Cal State Fullerton for my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I am offering child care and pet care! I am a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT) with over two years of experience working with children with autism and other developmental disabilities. I use ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy techniques to help kids build new skills, reach their goals, and improve daily behaviors in a clinic or home setting. This work has taught me patience, empathy, and how to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. Before becoming an RBT, I spent years as a competitive dancer since age 3 and later worked as an assistant dance teacher for children ages 4–12. I love bringing creativity, movement, and play into my time with kids to keep things fun and engaging. I grew up in Palm Springs but now live in Orange County, and I occasionally visit my hometown, so I’m open to jobs in both areas. I’m also happy to provide pet care! My family has a beagle, and I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, and playtime (cats included!). I’m comfortable caring for large animals too. Outside of work, I love music, dancing, festivals, concerts, fashion, shopping, arts and crafts, reading, movies, and anything creative. I’d describe myself as outgoing and adventurous, with a genuine passion for helping others and learning new things.

Mackenzie Yorba Linda
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Mackenzie I’m a college student at cal state Fullerton. I’m offering babysitting and pet sitting services. I don’t have too much one on one experience taking care of children but I was a lifeguard for 2 summers at a waterpark working with children all day where I was also cpr and first aid trained. I’ve always been pretty good with kids taking care of younger family members and family friends. I do have experience taking care of pets though. I’m very friendly and I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m a good cook and I can drive although my daily car is pretty small. I can help with household chores and errands as needed. I could also help with homework and projects.

Shirley Orange
$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.

Christina Anaheim
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Christina, and I live in Anaheim Hills. I am available to provide childcare from 8:30am-2pm Monday and Friday. Wednesdays I am available from 8:30am until noon. Additionally, I am available all day Saturday and Sunday. I have a degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and got my K-6 Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from Cal State Long Beach in 2009. I have been raising my two children since 2013, and they are 13 and 11 now, so I’m looking for some part time/occasional work. I absolutely love taking care of children and was a substitute teacher for 5 years before having my daughter. I have experience with all ages and also experience with special needs children. I started babysitting when I was 13, and I have worked in many homes and schools with lots of wonderful children and students. I’ve done CPR certification and background checks many times, and my home is smoke free and pet free. I’m open to providing childcare at your home, or at my home as well. Just text me anytime to ask about my availability. Thank you for reading my bio and I look forward to hearing from you! -Christina
