When one child has baseball practice in Mission Viejo and another has an orthodontist appointment at the same time in Costa Mesa, and you can’t be in two places at once, HopSkipDrive is here to help!

Thousands of parents across greater Los Angeles have relied on HopSkipDrive to help get their kids where they need to go safely and reliably. And today, Orange County families can, too.

Your peace of mind starts with the HopSkipDrive CareDrivers, who undergo a rigorous 15-point certification process, including fingerprinting, background checks and DMV checks. HopSkipDrive CareDrivers aren’t just anyone — they’re experienced caregivers who live right in your neighborhoods.

To celebrate our Orange County launch, we wanted to introduce you to just a few of the amazing Orange County HopSkipDrive CareDrivers:


Diana A.
Yorba Linda

My caregiving experience: I homeschool my three children, ages 6-12, and I serve in my church’s youth ministry. When I’m not on the road with HopSkipDrive I can be found: at church, Disneyland or spending time with family.

 


Leah F.
Costa Mesa

My caregiving experience: I’m a mommy to my four-year-old son. When I’m not on the road with HopSkipDrive I can be found: playing at the park, going to the beach and volunteering with my son’s activities. My personality is: nurturing and fun.

 


Leigh H.
Huntington Beach

My caregiving experience: I have five grown children and six grandchildren. I worked with special needs children in the Ocean View School District for the past seven years. When I’m not on the road with HopSkipDrive I can be found: reading, or hanging out with my grandkids learning the correct pronunciation of crazy dinosaurs that I’ve never heard of. What I love about driving children: I love the conversations with kids. They usually have something they love and want to tell you about it.

 


Valeria A.
Santa Ana

My caregiving experience: I have two sons, ages 16 and 18. When I’m not on the road with HopSkipDrive I can be found: volunteering for my sons’ basketball program and spending time with my family. What I love about driving children: I love to be around kids and help them!

 


Kelly S.
Aliso Viejo

My caregiving experience: I have two children, ages 8 and 11, and I’ve worked in elementary schools for 17 years. When I’m not on the road for HopSkipDrive I can be found: leading my daughter’s Girl Scouts troop, volunteering for our school’s PTA and doing photography. 

 

So, whether your family needs to get to volleyball in Brea, school in Lake Forest, surf camp in Dana Point, or anywhere else in Orange County, HopSkipDrive CareDrivers are ready to get them there, safely and reliably.
