I'm a local mom and on-call sitter with 9+ years of childcare experience currently available for part-time babysitting. I prefer to stay local to Aliso Viejo / Laguna Hills / Laguna Niguel / Mission Viejo / Lake Forest area. My availability is mostly during the day when my own son is at school, generally between the hours of 8am-3pm. Some flexibility for longer days is possible. I'm also available for occasional date nights or weekends, as needed. My first priorities are always ensuring a safe environment for your child(ren) and building enrichment into their day. I use stories, books, drawing, crafts, music, walks, outside play, etc. in age-appropriate ways to engage their interests, fill their days, and keep them happy. I've worked with families of all sorts and sizes and cared for children of all ages from newborn to tweens, boys and girls, (some with special needs including HFA and Read more ADHD). Every situation is unique and that's what keeps my job interesting and joyful. While child/baby naps, I'm happy to help with light housekeeping (tidying toys, folding laundry, light meal prep, filling dishwasher, pet-care, etc.). Clean driving record. Strong references from local families available on request.
