Meet college nannies and sitters from University of California Los Angeles

Hi! My name is Megan, and I am currently looking for occasional/ part time babysitting or petsitting jobs while I take some gap years before graduate school. I've been babysitting for about 10 years now, but as the oldest sister I've been helping out with my siblings since I was young. I graduated from UCLA in 2023 with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Anthropology. I enjoy learning about health and medicine in the contexts of development and society. Some of my hobbies include drawing, yoga, and eating good food :) I’ve worked with children of different ages, ranging from babies to teenagers, though I have the most experience with babies and kids ages 2 - 5. I find caregiving to be a fun and rewarding job. While kids learn a lot from us, I find that we learn a lot from them as well. I value patience and respect, and these are qualities I show to the kids I work with. I look forward to working with you!

I am a UCLA graduate with a degree in sociology and lots of experience in early childhood learning. CURRENTLY: I am on a cross country road trip so I am only available for occasional or one time babysitting. Great for emergency or last minute needs. I have been doing babysitting and childcare for about 6 years now for family and friends. I have always been good with children. I am the oldest child and the oldest of most of my cousins so I have grown up watching kids. I have been housesitting for over a year now for many pet owners that go on vacation for any amount of time from 3 days to a week. I have been helping out seniors in my family for a while as well since 3/4 of my great grandmothers are still alive and are in need of assistance when it comes to daily tasks. I have grown up around big dogs and other animals so I am pretty experienced with walking dogs and caring for them.

Hi families! My name is Lais, and I am a dedicated professional nanny with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns all the way to teenagers, and I am comfortable and confident with kids of all ages. I also have specialized experience supporting neurodivergent children, and I adapt my care to a variety of approaches—whether that’s gentle parenting, Montessori, RIE, or other philosophies. Despite earning my degree, I decided to continue my career as a nanny because I am deeply passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with families. I plan to grow in this field as a lifelong professional and bring my psychology background into my work every day. At the moment I work with an amazing family as a ROTA nanny. Considering that I am only available for occasional jobs in specific days. Happy to provide references and my resume upon request, and I’m always available to respond to any texts from families who want to know more about my experience. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I look forward to connecting and learning about your family’s unique needs!

Hello, I'm a college graduate from UCLA with a degree in marine biology. I am now completely abandoning that and pursuing a career in television production, as many in Los Angeles do. I went to high school at Notre Dame Academy all girls catholic school in West LA. I have been watching children for over 12 years and before that took care of my younger sister. I am CPR certified, love playing games, singing, and would be honored to sit for you. Thank you in advance! I take venmo, and my rates go up for travel over 10 miles, depending on the length of the commute, and for holidays. My cancellation policy is within 24 hours, after that inquiring a 50% fee of the original time requested.

I’m a recent graduate with a B.A. in Sociology from UCLA. I have experience with children ages ranging from 4 months to 13 years old. I absolutely adore kids and have worked with them all my life. I’m also a huge animal person. I grew up in Marin, where I went to Tam High, and just moved back to live in SF! My experience includes being a teacher at Stapleton Ballet Fantasy Summer Camp while I danced at the company before college, and during college, I worked at the UCLA Lab School as a teaching assistant for grades Pre-K thru 5th. So, I am definitely available to help with homework! I have babysat since I was 12 years old, and truly love doing it. I recently started a job as a teacher at the Town School for Boys within the Extended Day Program. I hope to pursue obtaining my credentials and continue my career in education.

Hello, my name is Alia. I am currently in graduate school in Pasadena. I have had extensive babysitting experience for the past 11 years. I’ve babysat children as young as 6 months & in groups as large as 12. I taught ice skating lessons to preschool aged kids and worked as a camp counselor for ages 10-14. I’ve participated in a number of other volunteer organizations tutoring kids of all ages. I absolutely love working with kids and teenagers and hope to be a pediatrician in the future! When I’m not making forts and fairy houses while babysitting, or rock climbing with my 12 & 13 year old cousins, I may be cooking a new dish or traveling to a new country. I look forward to meeting new families!

Hi my name is Leah! I am a pediatric mental health nurse and working on obtaining my doctorate to become a nurse practitioner. As a pediatric nurse, I am adept at handling emergency situations and comfortable adapting to behavioral challenges.

Hi! I’m Xeriz, a 23-year-old with a passion for caring for children. I’ve worked as a nanny in different cities over the years, and now, as an ABA behavior technician, I love supporting kids, especially those with special needs. I’m friendly, patient, and adaptable, always making sure to create a fun, safe, and loving environment for children. I also enjoy meal prepping and can easily tailor meals to your family’s needs, whether it’s keto, vegan, low-carb, or protein-focused. I’ve lived with families as their nanny before, so I’m used to adjusting to different routines and can do the same for you. Music is another big part of my life and something I’m truly passionate about :) I sing and play multiple instruments, and I’m always happy to share that with the kids through fun musical activities or even teaching them to play if they’re interested. Now that I’m back in NorCal, I’m excited to focus on what I love most which is helping children grow and making a positive impact on your family’s life!

I am 63 years old, semi retired and live in the Ocean Park area of Santa Monica. I am married and raised two boys who are now adults, One Attorney and One Doctor. I love children and I have time available to me. I thought I could earn extra money by babysitting - Child Care etc. I have a nice car, I do not mind driving your child to appointments and I even prefer watching your child at my apartment so you can relax and do what you need to do at your residence. I do not have any animals as I am allergic. I am Responsible and Flexible so please reach out to me!

I have a strong background in caring for children and pets, and I genuinely enjoy helping families feel safe and supported. I’ve worked with kids of different ages, assisting with daily routines, playtime, homework, meals, and bedtime. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I always prioritize a child’s safety and well-being. I also have experience pet sitting for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, and providing plenty of affection and companionship. I understand how important it is to follow routines and respect each pet’s unique personality. I’m organized, reliable, and happy to help with light household tasks when needed. My goal is always to give families peace of mind knowing their kids and pets are in caring, capable hands.
