A little bit about me

🌟 Fun, Energetic/Engaging Nanny & Future Educator (Irvine/OC) 🌟

Hi! I’m Maya Rib, a Sociology student at UC Irvine graduating this June. I’m looking for a wonderful family to partner with—currently available M/W/F and moving to full-time (5 days/week) in June!

Why Me?

Grounded Support: I have a natural, intuitive sense for helping kids navigate "big emotions". I’m a steady, patient presence who tailors de-escalation techniques to each child's unique needs.

Active Engagement: I’m definitely not the "sit on the couch" type! Whether it’s building complex Lego sets, painting, or exploring 15+ countries, I bring a sense of adventure and patience to everything we do.

The "Musical" Nanny: With a rich theater background, I’m constantly singing. I turn storytime into a performance and daily routines into creative adventures.

Safe & Reliable: 1 year of TK/K classroom experience, CPR certified, and background checked with a reliable car.

Hello! I’m Alyssa Sadler, a 21-year-old senior in college and a dedicated youth coach. I’ve worked as a babysitter, tutor, and coach, supporting children from early elementary through teens.

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Lauren and I am a college graduate with a B.S. in molecular biology and psychology. I just moved to the Orange County after working in biomedical research for a year. I am looking for a part-time, temporary, or flexible babysitting schedule! In my free time, I love to hike, read, swim and camp. I am a big lover of animals and the outdoors! I will find any excuse to spend time outside, and that's truly why I moved to California. Whether it be setting up a hammock to read, trying a new sport even if I’m awful at it, or checking out a new hiking trail every chance I can get, I can always find something fun to do outside. In college, I regularly worked for a family in DC with two younger boys, ages 4 & 6 years old. During high school I worked as a nanny through care.com and siitercity.com for 4 families over the years. I have also worked (1 yr) and volunteered (2 yrs) at my local branch of Boys and Girls Club as a summer camp counselor and school-year aide and tutor.
