Hi! My name is Monique, and I’m a caring, patient, and responsible babysitter with years of experience working with children. I started babysitting when I was 13, which gave me the opportunity to learn early on how to care for children of different ages, personalities, and needs.As I got older, around 17, I began gaining experience caring for children with special needs. This taught me the importance of patience, understanding, communication, and creating a safe and comfortable environment where every child can feel supported and included. I’m comfortable helping with routines, meals, activities, personal care, homework, playtime, and keeping children engaged throughout the day.I also have professional experience working with children through my background in childcare and behavioral support, which has strengthened my ability to handle different situations calmly and responsibly. I enjoy creating fun activities, encouraging independence, and making sure children feel heard, respected, and cared for.I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident leaving their children with someone they trust. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while making sure your child feels safe, happy, and supported. ♡

Hi! 👋🏾 I’m Devyn, but most people call me “Dev.” A few of my favorite things to do are going on nature walks, playing board games, shopping, and trying new foods. Most of my life, I’ve always had a desire to teach those around me. Growing up in school I would always offer to tutor my peers. Then, alongside that, I became a youth leader — a position I held for five years.During my time at UCI, I accepted a position to be a Program Leader at the company Think Together. Those two years of my life were truly remarkable. I had the opportunity to work with children ages four to fourteen on all different parts of life. From academics to life/societal skills and experiences, I was able to be a guide and walk them through hardships. It was nice knowing that I played a part in their growth and that I was not only a teacher, but a friend. 🤗I think when working with younger generations, it’s important to recognize how crucial it is to meet them where they are. That’s the only way to develop an understanding for their wants and needs, which leads to more fun! 🌈

Hello! I’m a psychology major currently attending Cerritos College,I am trying to get into a program in speech pathology. I’ve always loved working with children, and for the past year I’ve had the opportunity to work with kids in ABA. It’s a job I genuinely love because I get to have fun, build connections, and be part of their growth and development. I’ve babysat for family and friends over the years and have experience caring for children. Working in ABA has also given me valuable experience understanding children’s individual needs, being patient, staying attentive, and creating a fun and supportive environment. I feel very fortunate to work with kids and see their progress, and I would love the opportunity to bring that same care, patience, and positive energy to babysitting. I’m responsible, caring, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them feel comfortable, happy, and supported.
