Kate West Hollywood
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kate, and I’d love to support your family with reliable, attentive, and engaging part-time childcare, including evenings and weekends. I currently work full-time at a family law center and truly enjoy working with children and families. I’m a Colgate University graduate and an incoming student at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. I have extensive tutoring and babysitting experience, along with a lifetime of hands-on childcare from growing up with three younger siblings. I am also lifeguard certified and have previous experience as a swimming instructor. I’m responsible, patient, and organized, and I prioritize creating a safe, positive environment, whether that means helping with homework, doing crafts, playing outdoors, reading together, or supporting bedtime routines. I also bring strong academic support experience, including homework help, organization, and study skills. I specialize in standardized test preparation and college readiness (177 LSAT, 34 ACT), but always tailor my approach to each child’s age and learning style. Families describe me as dependable, communicative, and calm under pressure. I’m happy to assist with light tidying, simple meal prep, and maintaining household routines. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Hello everyone! My name is Mina and I'm currently a microbiology student in my last year of college. I have many passions, including baking, animals, ceramics, movies, and indoor rock climbing.

Lauren Los Angeles
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Lauren. I’m a Los Angeles–based childcare provider currently studying at the LA Film School, offering attentive, l care for children and families. I have been working with children since I was 15 and bring extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I spent three summers as a camp counselor, where I was responsible for large groups of young children, including up to 30 three-year-olds at once. In that role, I led structured programming such as educational music, dance, and beginner swim instruction, while also supporting children with a range of needs, including those on the autism spectrum. This background has made me highly adaptable, calm under pressure, and deeply attentive to each child’s individual personality and needs. I am comfortable managing daily routines, coordinating school drop-offs and pick-ups, and maintaining a well-structured, organized environment. I drive a Honda Pilot and can provide safe, reliable transportation when needed. Alongside childcare, I have experience in education as a Teacher’s Assistant for Film Production at Santa Barbara City College, where I supported and mentored students in a structured academic setting. I bring a creative, thoughtful approach to my work and especially enjoy fostering imagination, confidence, and curiosity through hands-on, screen-free activities. I am reliable and highly respectful of the home environment. I understand the level of trust required in this role and prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication at all times. My goal is to provide a calm, engaging, and supportive presence that families can fully rely on.

Eden Los Angeles
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am an LA transplant from the Washington, DC area. I have years of experience working with children of busy corporate and government employees during the summers when school is out. I'm a big kid myself--I love video games and outdoor activities! I am a former cheerleader and gymnast and love playing sports with little ones. One of my first jobs was at a sports complex where I taught children from 18 months-5 years old motor skills playing soccer! Working with children is a joy for me. I also have lots of experience with cats, bigger dogs, and turtles! (Fun fact: I grew up with a turtle that is now 25 years old) I am open to the opportunity to care for alternative pets as well.

Hi there! I’m Rose and I’m currently a FT teacher. A little about me: I am a cat mom of 2 adorable babies, born and raised in Los Angeles. I am a fluent English & Korean speaker and conversational in Spanish. I’ve helped run our daycare business with my mother for the past 15+ years in the heart of LA. I completed my undergrad at Parsons in NYC. While studying, I had numerous babysitting/teaching gigs. I’ve taken ECE courses at UCLA extension. I am currently in the process of obtaining my Child Development teachers permit. I am also a private tutor specializing in bilingual education and art.

My background in art and design inspires me to find creative ways to teach and interact with children. I love children’s curious nature to never stop learning and strive to be like them in this way. I look forward to helping out with your little one/s!
