Hi, I’m Rachelle! I offer dependable, engaging childcare and pet care with a strong mix of personal and professional experience. I’ve cared for children of all ages, including hands-on experience with my 11 nieces and nephews (ages 1–15). I currently provide ongoing care for a 13-year-old, including overnight stays when needed, so I’m comfortable with both daytime routines and nighttime responsibilities. My background includes a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and a Master’s in Criminal Justice focused on juvenile development, along with 14 years of service in the U.S. Navy. This has shaped my reliability, structure, and ability to connect with and mentor kids of all ages. I also have training through therapy school, which helps me communicate effectively with children and adolescents. I love incorporating creativity, sports, and music into my time with kids. I grew up playing trumpet, baseball, and softball, and enjoy keeping children active and engaged. In addition to childcare, I have over 25 years of experience caring for pets, including administering medication and supporting animals with special needs. I’m happy to help with occasional or part-time care, including overnights, and always aim to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment for your family.

Hello, parents! My name is Liyana a 47-year-old artist, photographer, healer, and mother. I have a deep love for young children, as my own daughter is now a teenager and I miss the joy that little ones bring. Kids are precious and always keep me feeling young and joyful. With a background in working with infants and young children, including daycare and volunteering at schools, I have a wealth of experience in caring for and engaging with kids of all ages. My passion for art, photography, and healing has led me to incorporate these passions into my babysitting services, offering activities that stimulate creativity and imagination. I believe in limiting screen time for kids and instead focus on reading stories, doing art projects, and engaging in other activities that promote natural growth and development. I am available for evening and weekend babysitting, allowing parents to enjoy a night out knowing their children are in good hands. I am dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for children, and I am committed to being a trustworthy and reliable caregiver for your family. Let me help you enjoy some much-needed time for yourselves while your little ones are in the care of someone who is both experienced and passionate about working with children. In addition to evening and weekend availability, I am also able to accommodate daytime babysitting depending on my schedule. I am also available for house sitting, providing peace of mind for families who may be away for an extended period of time. Whether you need a reliable caregiver for a night out or a longer-term solution for your childcare needs, I am here to help. Let me be your trusted partner in caring for your children and home.

I'm a warm, fun-loving, and enthusiastic nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for children from newborns (including preemies) through school age. Ive had the privilege of working with multiple families, which has given me a deep understanding of child development, patience, compassion and the importance of creating a safe nurturing environment. As the oldest of three, caring for others has always come naturally to me. I truly love all aspects of childcare -- from hands-on playtime and mealtimes to outdoor adventures and supporting them through age appropriate milestones. I strive to create a positive, engaging and loving experience for every child in my care. Im happy to provide references upon request and am also very comfortable with family pets.

I am experienced in caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I know how to feed infants, sterilize bottles, and always hold the baby after feeding. At the same time, I can take care of light household tasks, such as washing the baby’s clothes, transferring them to the dryer, and doing small cleanups like washing dishes. I am able to create a daily schedule for your child’s comfort, helping to establish a routine that also supports parents in the long term. I know many educational songs, play musical instruments, and teach children basic manners and etiquette. I can put children to sleep and gently help them transition toward independent sleep. I also know how to bathe and wash children. In addition, I can help at night when a child has colic or if parents need proper rest. I am available for additional hours with some advance notice and will always show up when needed. I am comfortable working long periods without days off, such as up to three weeks, both day and night. I strictly follow all rules and instructions provided and take my work very seriously.

Hello! I’m Sany! I recently moved back [temporarily] to Irvine to sit for the February California Bar Exam, and during this transition, I’m grateful for the opportunity to support families in my community as I look to supplement my income during this time. Childcare has been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. As one of six children and one of eighteen cousins on my father’s side alone, I grew up surrounded by kids of all ages. I helped raise or regularly babysit many of my younger siblings and cousins, which shaped my comfort, patience, and natural connection with children. I worked extensively with youth. I served as a Youth Services Staffer supporting students in 6th–8th grade, and later became a Teen Youth Coordinator working with ages 13–19. In those roles, I supported academic and personal development, planned programming, supervised groups, and created safe, positive, and inclusive spaces for learning and play. My most recent caregiving experience comes from working with multiple families throughout Chicago as I prepared to transition back to California. During that period, I cared for children ranging from 6 months to 4 years old, supporting everything from infant routines and early developmental play to toddler activities, social-emotional learning, and structured daily schedules. In addition to childcare, I have coached youth soccer and softball, which reflects my love of active play, teamwork, and encouragement. Whether a child prefers sports, reading time, crafts, video games, board games, or imaginative play, I adapt easily and meet them where they are. I love being silly, creative, and fully engaged, and I am equally comfortable providing structure and calm when needed. I hold a Juris Doctor, and my legal training developed strong communication skills, responsibility, judgment, and crisis-management ability - traits that parents value deeply when choosing a caregiver. Preparing for bar admission requires discipline, reliability, and attentiveness, all of which I bring into my work with children. Above all, I love caregiving because it allows me to build genuine, meaningful connections. I aim to create safe, joyful, and memorable experiences for every child I care for. I am known in my family as the favorite “fun-tie” — the aunt who brings imagination, warmth, and laughter into the room, and I would be honored to bring that same energy to your family.
