Booked by 1 family in Canyon, CA

Hi! I'm Gabriella (Gabbii), a childcare provider with 5–10 years of experience working with children of all ages — from newborns to school-age kids. My background includes hands-on work at a daycare center, years of babysitting for local families, and ongoing volunteer work with infants and toddlers. I'm also CPR and First Aid certified, so parents can feel confident their little ones are in safe, capable hands. I'm passionate about creating nurturing environments where kids feel comfortable and have fun. Whether it's playtime, storytime, or helping with homework, I bring patience, energy, and genuine care to every family I work with. I'd love to meet your little ones!

Kamila 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kamila! I am actively looking for a job and offering one-time babysitting, pet care, and household services while I secure an accounting position. I love babysitting and have been watching children for co-workers, family, and friends for the past 5 years. I have babysat children from 6 months to 10 years old. My responsibilities have been crafts, cooking, cleaning, and tutoring. I have a car and feel comfortable doing pickups/dropoffs as needed. I am a fluent Spanish speaker and have helped siblings and classmates with Spanish homework. I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for cats and dogs. I love animals (I have two cats and a snake) and feel comfortable around dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles of all breeds and sizes. I am experienced in providing medical care to animals as well. I regularly care for an epileptic, 70 lb dog.

When she lived in Utah, Kamila babysat my grandchildren on several occasions for a couple of years when they were 5, 7, and 9. Today, they are 8, 10, and 12 YO, and they still talk about how much fun they had when they were with Kamila. Although the kids enjoyed the time with her, they did not deviate from their routines. Kamila was very diligent, ensuring homework was done, meals were taken at the right time (if required), and bedtime routines were followed. Kamila is very responsible, flexible, and will make herself available even at short notice (if she can do it). She is very professional and reliable. I'd be happy to recommend her any time.

Rosemary $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Rose. I’m a trusted caregiver with a lifelong passion for supporting families. Over the past several years, I’ve provided care for children of all ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids (yes, even twins!). I also have deep experience supporting children with special needs. Beyond that, I’ve spent many years caring for the children of family and friends, so nurturing and supporting little ones has always been a natural part of my life. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities, helping with homework, and ensuring they feel safe, supported, and cared for. Recently, I spent the past three years as the primary caregiver for my mother, which deepened my experience and compassion for senior care. I understand the importance of patience, dignity, and dependable support. I’m happy to assist with meal preparation, companionship, and day-to-day tasks. In addition to caregiving, I also offer household support, including doing laundry, light and deep cleaning, and running errands to help out. I’m known by family and friends as the one they call when they need help achieving a clean and organized space. I truly enjoy creating clean, tidy, and functional spaces. This stems from a childhood of supporting my father's janitorial service and owning my own home staging business. Looking forward to supporting you and your loved ones!

$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Canyon, CA

I am a certified postpartum doula and experienced babysitter with over 10 years caring for newborns through school age children. I’m currently studying psychoanalysis, which gives me a deeper understanding of children’s emotions, behavior, and communication. I believe children thrive with attention and connection, and I bring a creative, positive energy while guiding them through tantrums, separation anxiety, and transitions with clear and consistent boundaries. I gently support children’s routines, from meals and sleep to play, reading, and outdoor time, creating a calm and engaging environment where they feel secure and cared for. Families describe me as warm, reliable, and easy to trust. Pet friendly and happy to help with child related routines. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m always happy to chat and make sure it’s a great fit for your family.

Margarida is literally an angel! She came into my house with extreme confidence and love. My three kids adore her. She is caring and always playing with the kids. Margarida keeps the house immaculate and is so thoughtful about keeping things tidy but still playing with the kids. Amazing! Will use her all the time!
