I’m a single mother of 2 beautiful girls. They are very well behaved and easy going. I would like a nanny that can assist me in tutoring them both to keep them ahead as well as personal life skills and growth. I’m mainly in need of a sitter in the evening up into the night. There are no particular days as of yet, but I am in need of someone for Labor Day possibly [phone number hidden].

I’m looking for a part time nanny for my 6yo son on Tuesdays: (school p/u) 1pm-6:00pm (5 hours)

He does go to school in Huntington Beach so I’m looking for someone who is able to pick up there and drive back to Santa Ana, I'm willing to pay for drive time to his school.

Ren is an easy going, creative, funny and smart kiddo. We limit screen time, try to focus on hands on activities, art and science.
I’m a restaurant manager and Ren splits time between myself and his dad each week. I have a background in early childhood education, and studied art and intercultural studies.

His summer begins June 27th so I’m also looking for longer care during his school break on Tuesdays (10am-6pm).

A little bit about us…

The job would mainly be early mornings, usually starting 7am-4pm any day of the week (we’ll give a schedule ahead of time).We have a 2yr old. He occasionally throws a tantrum when he doesn’t get what he wants, but they aren’t too bad. Aside from that he just likes Disney princess movies, toy cars, popcorn, and oranges! He’s very playful and cuddly. Plus he usually sleeps in till 8am-10am. He rarely wakes up earlier than that. I’ll most likely leave some prepped snacks and instructions, but feel free to raid the cupboards and fridge! We do have a dog, but we’ll keep her outside while you’re over. She’s very friendly, but she can also be a handful from time to time. We may need potential drop offs and pick ups, but it would be a rare occasion.
