Hi, I'm a college student who loves to help others! When I’m not working with children at a museum, I’m looking after families like yours. I use empathy, patience, and years of experience to care for your loved ones. I have reliable transportation and am always ready on short notice. I’d love to meet and assist you in any way possible!

Ruby is a wonderful babysitter—calm, intelligent, and compassionate. She quickly understands what needs to be done, takes initiative without being asked, and is always ready to help in any situation. Her thoughtful and gentle approach creates a safe, happy environment for children, and her quick thinking gives parents peace of mind. Highly recommended.

Howdy! I’m originally from Texas and moved to Los Angeles in 2012 to start a new chapter — and I’ve been here ever since. With over 15 years of experience caring for children from newborns to preteens, I’ve had the joy of supporting many families through their childcare journeys. I look forward to helping with yours next!

Catherine was so sweet and I immediately felt comfortable with her!

I grew up babysitting neighborhood kids and family friends. I have worked as a gymnastics coach to young children where I helped to build motor skills and core strength with fun activities. I care about creating a positive and stimulating environment for children to encourage growth and imagination. I have taught piano in my own studio and believe in the musical influence in brain development. I am also a proud mom of two wonderful and vibrant girls.
