Booked by 3 families in Canoga Park, CA

Hey! I’m April and I am currently a student nurse hoping to specialize in pediatrics to pursue my passion for working with kids! I am a certified Basic Life Support and CPR provider under the American Heart Association. I typically book directly with families outside of this app to build personal relationships, and I will gladly provide references upon request! I’m very patient and adaptable to situations due to all of my experience listed below :) Experience 🏅 - 1 year volunteering with special needs classes - 3 years working at an after-school program where I took care of up to 20 children and created several fun activities (physical, educational, and artsy!) - 2 years working as a teacher’s assistant where I assisted in children’s education and supervising them If you’d like to get to know me better or have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out!

April is fantastic with children. She is especially helpful with my 15-month-old when it comes to date nights. She is also a great communicator and I would definitely recommend her to other parents out there. Our family truly appreciates her.

As a mother of two, I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. My background in early childhood education allows me to support children’s development through age-appropriate activities, play-based learning, language development, and positive guidance. I am patient, reliable, responsible, and committed to maintaining open communication with parents. Whether caring for infants, toddlers, or preschool-aged children, my goal is to provide loving care while helping each child reach important developmental milestones. I would be honored to support your family and care for your little ones.

Hi everyone! I’m Gigi and I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting since high school and worked at a daycare throughout college, giving me experience caring for children of all ages with most of my time being spent with toddlers! I’m also a dog owner to a boxer and a bulldog/pit mix, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets.

Heads up- I do work full time so my availability is early mornings during the week, late nights, and free all weekends! Excited to work with you and your family! :)
