Find a wedding babysitter in Costa Mesa, CA

“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!”

“Dear Perspective Family, It is with deep gratitude and complete confidence that we recommend Deb Scribner as an exceptional nanny and caregiver. Deb has been with our family since August 2022, and quite simply, she has been one of the most impactful people in our lives during this season. As a household with two working parents—both operating full-time in corporate roles from home—our days are fast-paced, demanding, and often overlapping between meetings, deadlines, and the needs of a growing child. Navigating that dynamic requires not just childcare, but a true partner in the home. Deb has been exactly that. From the very beginning, Deb has provided outstanding care for our son. She is reliable, consistent, and incredibly thoughtful in how she approaches each day. Beyond meeting his basic needs, she has actively contributed to his growth and development—supporting his preschool homeschooling journey and teaching him foundational skills that will serve him for years to come. Her ability to balance structure, creativity, and warmth has made a lasting impression on him. What sets Deb apart is the way she seamlessly integrates into the rhythm of family life. She is proactive in coordinating schedules and planning ahead—whether it’s helping us prepare for vacations or ensuring continuity during busy work seasons. She has also gone well beyond traditional nanny responsibilities, caring for our home in ways that have brought us immense peace of mind—from tending to our garden and chickens to embracing the joyful chaos of our energetic dog. More importantly, Deb has cared for our family as a whole. She has supported us through illness, surgeries, and the emotional complexities that come with early parenthood—postpartum challenges, mom guilt, and the many transitions that working parents face. She brings wisdom, calm, and genuine compassion in moments when it matters most. There is a steadiness about her that cannot be taught, and it has been invaluable to us. We can say with complete honesty that we could not have navigated this chapter of life without her. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Deb as part of their home. She is trustworthy, nurturing, capable, and deeply invested in the well-being of the families she serves. If you are looking for someone who will not only care for your children but truly support your entire family, we wholeheartedly recommend Deb Scribner. Warmly, Ryan and Brianna Schaaf”
