We receive a high volume of family requests that start around 7, 8, or 9 AM and many that end around 10, 11 PM, or Midnight, so flexibility during these times increases your chances of getting hours. Shifts typically range from 6–10 hours depending on family needs.Communication Style: Our primary method of communication is text.

Over time, many families begin requesting their favorite sitters—which can lead to being booked further in advance and will allow for more consistency and stability in your schedule.Qualifications:- Authorized to work in the U.S.- Over the age of 18.- Valid U.S. driver’s license and access to a reliable, insured vehicle.- CPR/First Aid certified or willing to get certified upon hire.- Willing to undergo and able to pass a background check and fingerprinting.- At least 2 years of childcare experience, including with infants.- Must live in Orange County or Los Angeles County.- Passionate about working with kids and maintaining a professional relationship with families.Ready to Join Us?Apply here.
