$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 6 families in Glendale, CA

Hi there! I’m Naomi, I recently graduated from SFSU with a bachelor’s in communications! I also work with a local nonprofit that provides after-school child care. I get to teach and supervise a group of awesome first graders every day, and it’s truly the highlight of my week. I love working with kids and always strive to bring a mix of fun, creativity, and care into everything we do — whether it’s arts and crafts, nature walks, or fun kitchen experiments. I’m also a big-time dog lover, so I’m more than happy to help out with pet sitting too! Can’t wait to meet your little ones (and furry friends)!

Naomi filled in for another babysitter last minute and the kids loved her!

Booked by 2 families in Glendale, CA

Hi! I'm Kate, and I can help with a lot of things! In my work as a caregiver, educator, and developmental interventionist, I am deeply committed to helping children understand that they matter. In 2018 I earned a master’s degree in School Counseling which gave me in-depth training in child development, social-emotional learning, and behavioral support. After working for years in public schools in various advising/interventionist roles, I decided to apply my knowledge and skills in more flexible, hands-on settings — working directly with children and families in their homes. I encourage curiosity, creativity, and fun in my work with kids. My classroom experience has given me a lot of tools such as ways to make routines fun, communicating rules and expectations, using positive reinforcement, and tons of arts and crafts ideas. Through patient guidance and empathy, I help children build their communication skills and practice emotional regulation so they can thrive socially and academically. Each child is unique, and each one deserves to feel confident in their ability to learn and grow in their own way- I can help them with that! My ultimate goal is to be a positive and empathetic presence in your home. How can I help?

Kate is very creative and patient. Our girls love her!

$40 per hour for 1 child

Cared for a baby from infancy; dependable, patient, organized. Great with routines, learning, travel, and creating a calm, safe, supportive environment.

Absolutely loved Vee! We had to find a backup nanny for the week and she was recommended to us. Vee was absolutely amazing with our 5 month old. She was on time, patient, and very communicative. She created a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for our child. I highly recommend Vee to any family seeking a reliable, loving, and capable nanny.

Booked by 1 family in Glendale, CA

Hello, I'm Kyla! I love the outdoors, art making of all kinds, and doing puzzles. My degree from NYU is in Early Childhood Education and Theater, combining my passion for theater with my knack for working with young people. I am also a trained and skilled private chef with a specialty in whole-ingredient, low-waste cooking, and experience working with a variety of specialized diets. I've spent the last 3 years as a combination private chef and teacher in a preschool for children aged 2-5. Multitasking in engaging conversations while creating nutritious and filling meals for 3 dozen toddlers everyday is a joyful juggling act! I love the magic and imagination of early childhood, and I thrive in the many ways it inspires me to improvise. For 18 months during the COVID lockdown, I ran a special "Kyla Camp" engaging 8 elementary students in daily activities and tutoring, to provide stability and crucial social-emotional development. Developing relationships with children and their families over time and working as part of their team, within their village, is deeply meaningful work. I am a play-based educator, and subscribe to elements of both RIE and Montessori style teaching. My instincts are to first observe behavior as communication of a need, to asses how that need can be met, and provide gentle redirection to allow a child-led exploration of the world. My experience as a private nanny is with children from 12 weeks to 10 years, and these principles have served me with children of all ages. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, I enjoy spending time outdoors at the beach or camping in the mountains, so Southern California is a paradise to me. I love taking walks with my dog Gayle, who also enjoys the company of children.
