Hello! My name is Quynh and I would love to help babysit. I am comfortable with all pets and have my own transportation. I have recently cared for a 7 month old and 4 yo simultaneously so I am comfortable with multitasking. When taking care of a 9.5 month old, i helped start him on solids as well! We started crawling/walking practice too. I have put all the children I've taken care of down for naps or bedtime, ranging from infants to 12 yo and up to 6 kids at a time. I rocked said 9.5 month old baby for several hours to get him to go to bed when he wasn't feeling it. When caring for a 2.5 yo, we did a lot of imaginative play and arts and crafts! We practiced skills like cleaning up and I threw in asking about colors/numbers whenever I could to still make it fun. We also worked on potty training and made sure to wash our hands after. I am confident I can help assist you with household chores as well if you need it during downtime, and I can care for your child in the way you prefer once shown.When working as a behavioral health specialist, I had to manage 6 kids with behavioral needs on a set schedule, running group therapy, meal times, bedtimes, and more. I also assisted with homework help when needed. I attended UCI for a double in genetics and psychology before I decided to pivot to nursing. Whatever preferences and rules you have I am happy to follow to a T, the safety of your child is the most important thing. I am very good at communication and find that it is better to over than under communicate. If anything were to occur you would receive a text immediately and throughout the time I am watching your child I would send updates or write a detailed note so you know exactly what transpired. I have worked as a mothers helper too, and I fill in with whatever is needed, whether that’s feeding/ changing baby, laundry, dishes etc. I am CPR, BLS, and CPI certified. I am able to meet energy needs in whatever capacity, being calm and patient or excited. Ty!

Hi! My name is Brooklyn, and I have over 5 years of babysitting experience caring for children of all different ages. I also grew up with two younger brothers and was very involved in caring for them from the time they were babies—from changing diapers and giving baths to taking them on walks, playing at the park, and everything in between! Because of this, I’m very comfortable caring for children of all ages, including infants and toddlers.One of my favorite things about babysitting is getting to know each child’s personality, making them laugh, and creating an environment where they feel safe to play, learn, and be themselves. I love reading with kids, doing crafts, playing outside, going to the park, playing with their favorite toys, or finding activities based on what they enjoy. I genuinely enjoy all ages, but I especially love the toddler stage because they’re so curious, silly, and fun!I’m currently attending Hartnell College while pursuing nursing and working toward earning my CNA license. My long-term goal is to work in pediatric psychiatric nursing, so working with children is especially meaningful to me. I am also CPR and First Aid certified.I have reliable transportation and am comfortable driving children to and from school, activities, practices, or outings as needed. I’m also happy to help with meals and snacks, homework, bedtime routines, and household chores!Most importantly, I want parents to feel confident that their children are with someone who is responsible, attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide a safe, fun, and caring environment for your kids!
