Booked by 112 families in Whittier, CA

Hi! My name is Madeline or Maddie. I hold a bachelor’s degree in History with a minor in Education from UCSD. I have worked with newborns as young as 2 months to children as old as 13. I have about six years of babysitting experience, with four of those years being after I turned 18. I have also previously worked as an elementary school tutor for 3 years as well as privately. I have my own transportation. In addition I am also CPR and First Aid Certified with a Covid Vaccination. I am proficient in American Sign and I am fluent in English. I am a very patient and energetic babysitter. I would love to continue expanding my caregiving experience by babysitting for you. Thank you so much!

Madeline was on time and ready to hop right in at 6am. Our 4 month old loves her and somehow she got him to take multiple naps even while being fussy from teething. She was patient and updated me via text about his feeding & naps. Also, our dog loves her too! We came home to a happy household and everyone enjoyed her! She professional and naturally great at her job. Will definitely hire again.

Hello, my name is Crystal. I’m 31 years old and earned my B.A. in Child Development and Family Studies from CSULB in 2018. I recently received my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and am excited to continue growing in the field of education. I have always had a passion for working with children and began babysitting at 15 years old, caring for my younger sibling and cousins. Throughout high school, I volunteered in after-school programs where I worked with elementary-aged children, helping them complete homework and build strong study skills. After graduating, I worked as a program leader, managing a class of about 20 children. My responsibilities included planning engaging activities, ensuring safety, serving snacks, collaborating with families and staff, and creating a fun, nurturing, and structured environment. I also have experience as an elementary tutor and a full-time preschool teacher, where I built strong relationships with families and provided additional babysitting support when needed. During COVID, I worked as a full-time nanny for multiple families until 2023. Since January 2023, I have been working as a substitute teacher while continuing my education. I would describe myself as nurturing, kind, patient, and dependable. I truly enjoy being part of a child’s growth, helping them learn, supporting their needs, and creating a safe, positive, and fun environment. I am currently available for summer babysitting from June through mid-August and am open to part-time or full-time opportunities during that time. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide attentive, caring, and enriching care for your children!

Great interaction with the kids with keeping them occupied, creative and engaged.

Booked by 176 families in Whittier, CA

I am a former elementary school science teacher and a marine scientist. I've been working with kids for 22 years: both as a teacher and as a babysitter for family (7 nieces and nephews), friends (I'm "auntie" to many more), and a professional babysitting company. I love working with kids because I am one at heart and love to discover the world at their level. I love running around playing games, doing crafts, reading books, and I am a great homework helper. When I get some free time, I love to go kayaking, hiking, and snorkeling.

LOVE that Xana is so worldly & openminded. She is knowledgeable of languages, customs, and is clearly a lifelong learner. This is someone I’d love for my children to grow up knowing!

Booked by 47 families in Whittier, CA

Hello, my name is Allyssa, and I am a current grad student at San Jose State University pursuing my dream of becoming a Speech Language Pathologist. I pride myself on being responsible, reliable, and full of energy, especially when it comes to working with children. Being the oldest of four, I have gained extensive experience caring for children of all ages. Back home in Orange County, I had the opportunity to work with up to four different families, ranging from ages 1-15 years old. Now, I am actively seeking part-time and one-time job opportunities that align well with my academic commitments. In addition to creating a joyful and engaging environment for kids, I can also handle meal preparation and provide homework assistance. On a personal note, I had the privilege of playing collegiate soccer, highlighting my dedication and teamwork skills. I am fully vaccinated and more than happy to share excellent references upon request. Looking forward to the chance to connect soon!

Allyssa is pure sunshine! She connected with my son immediately and they played and played for an hour and a half with a water break here and there (:
