Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m currently a law student at USC. I’m excited to spend my summer helping families with dependable, attentive, and engaging childcare. I’ve always loved working with children and have experience through tutoring, as well as growing up as 1 of 10 kids with many nieces and nephews. Being part of a big family has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Whether that means helping with homework, reading stories, getting creative with arts and crafts, exploring at the park, or doing mini science experiments, I love finding activities that keep children engaged and excited to learn. I’m responsible, organized, patient, and comfortable balancing busy schedules and high levels of responsibility. I’m happy to help wherever needed, whether that’s preparing simple meals, keeping routines on track, or lending an extra set of hands to make your family’s day run more smoothly. I also understand how important trust and communication are when it comes to childcare, and I strive to make both parents and children feel supported and at ease. I’m also very comfortable around pets! As the proud owner of a Saint Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog, I have plenty of experience caring for large dogs and would be happy to help in pet-friendly households (including homes with cats!). I would love the opportunity to connect with your family this summer and provide a caring, reliable presence for your children!

Kayla is absolutely wonderful! She is easygoing and thoughtful, and my son loved his time with her.

Hello! My name is Cassandra and I'm 32 years old. I graduated from San Francisco State University in 2016, with a major in Technical and Professional Writing. I'm originally from LA and I moved back once I graduated. I currently work in Finance as an EA. I've been working with kids since I was 15 years old. I've worked with kids mostly between the ages of 2 and 8. I'm extremely patient with kids and I definitely know how to keep them busy. I have some experience with toddlers but not a ton. I am a fast learner though. : )

Cassandra is a super star!! Thank you!!!!

Hi, I’m Wendy! I’m a dedicated babysitter with over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including those with ADHD and Autism. I have a strong understanding of RIE teaching methods, which help foster independence, confidence, and a nurturing environment for children to thrive. Originally from Los Angeles, I went to school for Business but my true passion has always been working with kids. I love incorporating outdoor activities, art, and cooking into my babysitting style to create engaging and fun experiences. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for every child I care for. I’m also a big dog lover, so pets are always a welcome part of the experience! I’d love to connect with your family—feel free to reach out with any questions!

Booked by 301 families in Glendale, CA

Hello parents! My expertise ranges from newborns, to school aged children, and occasionally preteens. I know how to change diapers and make bottles to prepare healthy snacks and play while learning. From my experiences with children, it seems to me that children tend to easily bond with me as I am fun while providing a sense of trust and security. Family life is my passion as my own family means a lot to me. *I would gladly appreciate if you send me message first describing your needs. I can accept the job without a phone interview should we exchange messages with all the details. Ps.s. Last minute cancelations made within 6 hours of the start time would require payment for three hours of my time.

In Elementary school they would allow the 4th-5th graders to spend their time off with another teacher as their assistant and that’s when I realized I loved spending time with younger kids. During that time I’d also volunteer as a sitter/helper at my local youth center after school or when needed. As I got older I was able to watch all ages either at the school, youth center, relatives and/or family friends. I have over 18 years of experience as a nanny, sitter, elderly caregiver, personal assistant, and house manager. My main goals are to make sure everyone is comfortable, safe, having fun, & parents can just enjoy themselves without worrying. -PLEASE MSG ME BEFORE BOOKING JOB- ✔️I'm looking for a family that is honest, has family values, and is financially stable. • A year of commitment. • A minimum of 25 guarantee weekly hours.   • As of right now I’m not caring for children under one years old. ✔️ • I’d be happy to assist in preparing/assembling meals for kids &/or family, baking, cleaning up (laundry, organizing, tiding up kitchen, rooms, toys), grocery shopping, driving children, and I’m pet-friendly. (I’m not a housekeeper but will keep household clean) • I have a Kia Sportage, driving record is clean no tickets or accidents. • Vaccines: Tdap 09/29/2024; Flu 03/13/2026; Covid 03/13/2026. • I don't partake in any kind of substances. • Depending on ages of children I’m comfortable with watching four-five children. •• Since December 2023, Ive been providing daily morning care to a sweet elderly woman w/dementia in Glendale. Schedule is flexible and would love to continue•• ~From past poor experiences I feel it’s best to make a contract so both parties have an understanding of what is to be expected as nanny and parent, it will entail compensation, schedule/hours, payment method, & duties/responsibilities. __ *For our first phone interview & meeting/sitting, I would feel much more comfortable with you booking me via US. It is a safety precaution* __ (1 child) $27/per hr (2 children) $27-$30/per hr (3-4 children) $30-$45/per hr (More than 4 children) $45-$55/per hr

Samantha put my mind completely at ease leaving my kids with her. She’s capable, confident and so kind! My youngest is tough work and they had a great time, immediately was asking when Samantha could come back! Highly recommend!
