Hi! My name is Nsonga, and I’m currently a sophomore in college offering reliable and attentive childcare services. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 and have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and teens. I’m also first aid and cpr certified. Over the years, my responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, helping with homework and tutoring, planning fun and age-appropriate crafts, and ensuring a safe, supportive environment. I genuinely enjoy working with children and take pride in being patient, responsible, and dependable. I am very flexible with scheduling and am looking to work part time while I continue my studies.

Booked by 1 family in Castaic, CA

I’m a responsible and caring college student currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Accounting. I have hands-on experience working with children through my church daycare, where I help create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I’ve also served as a youth leader, guiding and supporting kids of various ages. In addition, I am a caregiver for my special needs sister, which has strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to adapt to individual needs.

“Kay is amazing with our 9 month old boy and 4 year old girl. She is knowledgeable about everything baby related including baby led weaning, sleep training and developmental milestones. We trust her wholeheartedly with our kids. She is always on the floor with our baby helping him with his development, reading him books, singing to him, etc. She is always on the go, walking him to the park and proactively organizing play dates with other babies his age. She is very respectful of our home, keeping play and kitchen areas tidy. We highly recommend Kay and think any family would be lucky to have her care for their kids.”

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 90 families in Castaic, CA

Hello! I’m Nico and I bring a warm, grounded presence alongside a genuine passion for child development. My background spans 10 years of childcare experience inclusive of nannying, arts education through dance, tutoring, coaching, and one-on-one mentorship — these experiences have sharpened my ability to meet children where they are, build trust, and help them grow in confidence, creativity, and character. I understand that every child is different and I readily adapt my methods to care for children holistically, understanding their unique personalities, pace, and needs. I am professional, discreet, and respectful in my approach — one that always seeks to honor your family's privacy and maintain a standard of excellence in relational rapport. I am organized and proactive by nature, comfortable managing daily schedules, coordinating activities, and communicating clearly with parents and any household staff. I am reliable, flexible, and take pride in my ability to be fully present. My arts and movement background is something I love weaving into everyday life with children — whether that's an impromptu dance session, a creative project, or simply bringing energy and joy to the ordinary moments of the day. I believe the best childcare isn't just supervision — it's thoughtful, attentive companionship that allows children to feel safe, seen, and supported. I would love the opportunity to connect with new families and learn more about their caregiver needs.

“I was visiting LA with my 9 year old, and asked Nico to sit for the afternoon. I hadn’t used the service before but I needed a sitter at a specific time. I showed my daughter several videos, she chose Nico. My daughter had a great afternoon. It’s a small sample size but Nico comes across as very professional with a warm demeanor & seems to genuinely enjoy her work as a caregiver. 10/10 - if the need arises would absolutely book her again the next time we’re in LA.”
