Find a babysitter in Granada Hills, CA

Hello! My name is Melissa, and I have been babysitting for over 15 years now. I have also worked for after-school programs, summer day camps, sleep away camps, and more. I absolutely adore children, their bright energy is so contagious! I have experience with keeping children to their routines and schedules, as well as ample experience doing fun activities like arts and crafts, nature walks, and things that are enjoyable while encouraging development. I also teach kids yoga classes, love dogs, and am available to help out with household tasks as arranged. I took a long hiatus from nannying to work at a school but am now returning and hoping to help out with part-time care or one time needs!

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?

I am 20 years old, I have worked with elementary school kids in helping with math! When I was younger I would help my mother with the little ones, feeding and changing them. I love going on walks, going to the park with little ones, and doing crafts. I am also bilingual and speak Spanish. I also have a car for transportation with a clean record!

Hello, my name is Autumn and I've recently returned to my hometown of Los Angeles. I'm very excited to reconnect with my roots and plant myself into a new life here. Since I was a valley girl, I've been caring for others. Whether it was my younger siblings (I come from a family of 7 kids) or the sweet family of 6 down the street, I started babysitting at the responsible age of 11! I'm still in touch with this family, celebrating milestones together almost annually. Years later I chose to be an au-pair in Hamburg, Germany to an infant and her 3 year old sister Luisa who filled my days with curiosity and wonder. We had so much fun together playing dress up, exploring outdoors and reading and singing together. Not long after returning to the states, I lived with a professional family of Berkeley, nannying for their 2 daughters aged 7 and 9. With both families I tutored, cooked, played games, crafted, offered transportation, championed, provided recreational activities and sang lullabies. In-between these lines of work, I was also once a clown and balloon maker. ;) I have assisted elders with tender care, errands, out of state relocation and aquatic exercise! I recently became a lifeguard and certified swim instructor to adults and children between 9 months and 12 years old. It was so heartwarming to watch kids go from being afraid of water, to loving jumping in and splashing around. I am an extremely clean and organized person, a self-taught home chef, attended neurodivergent training and believe that human connection should always come first. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies which provided a strong block of courses in psychology, further educating me on people. I drive an all electric vehicle and have a clean driving history. I am the sole caretaker of 2 sweet cats but have also looked after friend's dogs in the past. As a child I had a pet mouse, snake, parakeet and hamster so I'm comfortable with all types! Being a caregiver requires sincere intuition and heart. One has to navigate personal needs while also being present of mind to consider safety, technicalities and timelines. I pay close attention to detail, am excellent at anticipating needs and am a certified masseuse. Collectively, I possess the personal qualities, the particular skillset and the creative talents to care for animals, homes and humans of all ages. Did I mention I'm a big fan of Bluey? Who isn't I guess. I look forward to connecting to see if we're a match!
