Booked by 2 families in Lake Forest, CA

Hi! My name is Melodie, and I bring a warm, reliable, and well-rounded approach to caregiving. I’ve been babysitting off and on since high school, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with families in a wide range of settings—from casual date nights to consistent weekly care. Between 2021 and 2023, I provided regular childcare for a college head coach’s family, where I was trusted to handle everything from after-school routines and bedtime to meal prep and light tidying. More recently, I’ve been working with a wonderful family caring for two young siblings. I’ve also taken formal child development courses and hold an active CPR and First Aid certification. Your child’s safety and emotional well-being are my top priorities, and I pride myself on creating a calm, fun, and structured environment. Whether it’s imaginative play, helping with schoolwork, or reinforcing routines, I aim to support not just the kids but the whole family. In addition to childcare, I’m also experienced in household support. I’ve run my own household and have been employed to help organize others’, so I naturally maintain a clean and tidy space. I enjoy cooking and can prepare simple, healthy meals for children and families as needed. I’m also a huge animal lover and have grown up around pets my whole life. I currently have two of my own and am confident in handling pet care alongside childcare—including walks, feeding, and lots of love. Transportation is never a problem. I have a perfect driving record and a safe, well-maintained vehicle. I understand how important punctuality and reliability are when it comes to caregiving, and I always strive to go above and beyond. Whether you need dependable babysitting, pet care, help keeping your household running smoothly—or all three—I’d love to be a part of your support system. I genuinely care about the families I work with and value building lasting, respectful relationships. Looking forward to connecting!

“Great sitter. Punctual, professional and sweet with our children! She even made them dinner and cleaned up the kitchen afterwards! We will definitely book her again!”

Booked by 1 family in Lake Forest, CA

Hello! My name is Katie, I currently work as an early education tutor at Kumon in Aliso Viejo and have been an Art Instructor in Laguna Beach for the past three years, helping kids explore their creativity and build confidence. I’ve also worked in church nurseries since I was 12, where I’ve gained valuable experience caring for young children. Additionally, I’ve spent a lot of time caring for my younger brother, who is 9 years younger than me, ever since he was a baby. These experiences have taught me patience, creativity, and a love for working with kids! When I’m not working or studying, I enjoy spending my free time painting, going to the beach, and playing with my dog! I’d love to bring my care to your family!

“Katie was one of the best sitters we have ever had. Our four year old adored her. She brought art projects, made dinner, and brought a cheerful attitude to both days. We can’t wait to work with her again. ”

Evie $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a responsible, hard-working nanny with experience caring for kids ages 1-12. I babysat a 3-year-old girl, and helped care for my niece from infancy through age 4. I've also led a group of 9-year-old girls as a camp counselor, and taught evening Russian classes to 11-12-year-olds (boys and girls) at my church for several years. I'm patient, especially with kids, and I connect with them easily, making them feel safe, seen, and heard. A bit about me: I'm getting married next May, and I currently work two part-time jobs (office admin and massage therapy). I'm looking to step away from massage therapy for good and focus on nanny work going forward. I'm looking for a stable Monday-Friday schedule, ideally 2:30-6:30 p.m. (flexible to 7pm), around 20 hours/week.

Kamelia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a college student pursuing a career in healthcare, and I have experience caring for children through babysitting. I'm responsible, patient, caring, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them. I also have experience in healthcare through a nursing internship at Hoag Hospital and am currently completing a Medical Assistant program. These experiences have strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to stay calm in different situations. I'm happy to help with homework, activities, meal preparation, and light household tasks. I'm also an animal lover and feel comfortable caring for pets, whether that involves feeding, walking, playing with them, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to make sure children and pets feel comfortable, supported, and well cared for while giving families peace of mind!

Hailey $23 per hour for 1 child

I have over 6 years of childcare and 2 years of infant care experience. I have cared for children of various ages, which has helped me develop patience, reliability, strong communication skills, and a nurturing approach. I also have work experience with children of special needs and those on the spectrum. I am CPR and first aid certified, I am attentive, compassionate, and organized, with a natural ability to build trust and create a safe, positive environment. My experience includes supervising daily activities, homework help/tutoring, assisting with routines, meal preps, light household tasks relating to the child’s needs or any pet needs. I love animals and strongly believe that pets are a part of the family. In previous years I have helped with taking pets for walks, assisting with medical needs such as shots or giving medications with meals, as well as keeping them company while family members are traveling. I genuinely enjoy helping others and am eager to bring the same level of care, companionship, and dependability to any family that requires help.
