Ryan $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 $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.

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.

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!
