Emma Los Angeles
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emma, I have earned my Associate degree in Early Childhood Education at Pasadena City College in June 2025. I am currently studying Early Childhood Studies at Cal Poly Pomona, and I am also halfway through my AMI Montessori training program. These experiences are helping me deepen my understanding of child development and early education. I’m offering child care services and have experience working with children from 6 months to 10 years old. I’ve been babysitting since I was 17, and I truly love caring for young children, supporting their development, and creating fun, engaging experiences for them. As the oldest of four sisters, I’ve always been around little ones and naturally took on a caregiving role from a young age. It definitely sparked my love for working with children and helped shape who I am today—patient, nurturing, and always ready to help. I am CPR and First Aid certified (as of January 2025), and I’ve also observed Montessori classrooms, so I’m familiar with child-led learning and respectful caregiving approaches. I’m originally from France and speak both French and English fluently. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include baking, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and helping with homework or reading. I’m creative, patient, and very reliable, and I always aim to create a safe and joyful environment for children to grow. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more or schedule a time to chat. I’d love to meet you and your little one(s)!

Priscilla Orange
$20 per hour for 1 child

I’m Priscilla, a fellow mom just looking to support another family with night care/date nights, occasional care, or short-term babysitting. The little one I was caring for recently started daycare, so I’m hoping to connect with a new family who needs someone loving, patient, and reliable. Additionally, they still contact me asking to care for baby if needed. As a nursing student, my schedule can be a little unique, but I’m usually up studying until 2–3 AM anyway, so evenings and nights work beautifully for me! (My school schedule is completely online until April 12th) A little about me 😊 • I’m 20 and a mama to my sweet, adventurous almost 19 month old son • I’m the oldest of 5 (ages 3–15), so caring for kids is second nature • One of my siblings has William syndrome and on the spectrum, so I’m familiar with adapting care, gentle communication, and meeting children exactly where they are • I love walks, reading, hands-on play, arts & crafts, and trying new recipes when I get the chance I’m a low-to-no-screen caregiver — we rarely use screens at home, so I absolutely understand and respect families who want engaging, present, and mindful care. I’m happy to keep little ones entertained with play, imagination, and comfort without devices. I’m also very comfortable following sleep routines and bedtime schedules, and can keep your nighttime rhythm consistent while you enjoy your well deserved time away. I can provide three references with families I’ve worked with and 2 of my personal family reference letters if needed !! 😊

I’m a pre-med student + CPR/BLS certified with several years of experience caring for children in both home and the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (4+ yrs). I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy creating a positive environment for kids. I’ve helped with school pickups, homework, playtime, and bedtime routines, and I’m comfortable with children of all ages. Families appreciate my maturity, warm personality, and ability to engage thoughtfully with their kids while maintaining a safe and structured atmosphere.

Booked by 1 family in Covina, CA

Hi - My name is Amy and I have my Bachelor's degree at LBSU in Mathematics Education to become a high school math teacher and I’m currently working on my teaching credential. I am offering child care, pet care, and tutoring. I have babysat many children in their own home as well as in daycares. I've babysat 10 month twins, one 2 year old, and one 5 year old at the same time. I've also worked at an after-school program for 3 years, which included watching over children along the ages of potty-trained to the 12th grade. I was also recently a summer camp counselor to about twenty 4th graders, where we dealt with crafts, singing/dance, science experiments, and recreational games. When babysitting, I've spent a lot of my time playing with the kids outside, with their toys, reading books together, or tutoring math and other subjects. I would LOVE to help out with any tutoring or homework help if needed. I also have played basketball for 6 years, so I can participate in any sport the child is interested in. I also have my own car if there are any appointments scheduled for them. I have watched over dogs and cats for multiple people throughout the years. House-sitting for as big as a black lab to as small as poodle mixes (maltipoo/shitzu/etc). Longest I've ever house sat was for a full 2 weeks while the family was out of town. I took care of their house by bringing in their mail, making sure the trash was moved out to the street, watering houseplants, and dogsitting their poodle mix. I offer walking, feeding, playing, and any other needs your pet needs attention to.

It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Amy Walker. This summer, Amy led a group of 30 kids at our VBS with kindness, confidence, and genuine joy. She has a natural ability to connect with children—making each one feel seen, valued, and included. Amy is not only dependable and organized, but she brings a calm, positive energy to every situation. Whether guiding group discussions, leading activities, or helping kids navigate big feelings, Amy shows great leadership, patience, and heart. She truly created a space where kids could learn about God’s love in a way that felt personal and meaningful. Anybody would be lucky to have her!
