Youn $25 per hour for 1 child

I have various experience with children from teaching after school enrichment to elementary school kids, to tutoring elementary through high school kids, to working summer camp, and babysitting over the years. I enjoy watching kids grow in creativity and character. I like to encourage children in their gifts. I like to work on children’s individualism. I also am a pet sitter and an auntie to many fur babies and kids. I am the friend that everybody asks to watch their pets while they’re out of town. I very much enjoy pets and children and have a lot of experience in both. I have my certification for Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED. I also have clearance to work at several schools in the area as part of my background check for the after school enrichment program. Please reach out if you’d like to discuss further. Schedule is pretty flexible and changing, so open to discuss. Thank you! Youn

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Granada Hills, CA

Hello! I am a PhD Student in Sociology, where I focus on the sociology of childhood and education. Beyond my research, I have had lots of experience working with kids - casually as a babysitter, but also more formally at a variety of summer camps. I am new to Los Angeles (from London, England) and have enjoyed exploring all the wonderful parks and enjoying the sun. Hope I can do more with your child(ren) sometime soon :)

“Kids immediately warmed to Lara and had such fun playing with her! Will definitely hire again. ”

Tranell $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tranell. I am caring, reliable, detail oriented, patient loving person, who overall enjoys helping. I recently graduated MRI school. I understand routines, patience, and creating a safe, calm environment for children. I have hands-on experience supporting autistic children, which has taught me the importance of consistency, understanding, and individualized care. I’m very detail-oriented, patient, and compassionate, and I always prioritize safety and clear communication. I’m comfortable with pets. I am also very knowledgeable, wise and helpful in many areas. I would love to be a help to you, as a support system would. I genuinely love being a woman families can rely on. I believe children thrive when they are surrounded by a strong, caring village, and parents do too. I understand how demanding parenthood can be, and I’m passionate about helping create smoother days and a supportive environment for the entire family. I’d love to support your family with reliable, attentive care you can feel confident about.

Kiana $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Keeks, a patient, creative, and dependable caregiver based in Los Angeles with over four years of childcare experience working with children ages 1–16. My background includes full-time nannying for a toddler whose parents were both business owners with demanding schedules. I independently managed daily routines, nutrition, and nap schedules, transportation to pediatric appointments, and age-appropriate activities supporting early childhood development. I especially enjoyed introducing new experiences, encouraging language development and independence, and incorporating sensory play, outdoor exploration, and hands-on learning into everyday routines. I currently provide childcare for a queer co-parenting family, adapting to their unique household dynamic and evolving schedules. My responsibilities include school pickups and drop-offs, supporting daily routines, and planning activities that encourage creativity, curiosity, and social development. I've really enjoyed building a lasting relationship with the family and being someone they can consistently depend on. Alongside childcare, I work part-time as an artist's assistant. My background in the arts is something I love incorporating into childcare, from introducing children to different materials and artistic techniques to organizing hands-on projects that encourage experimentation, problem-solving, and self-expression. I also enjoy outdoor activities, exploring nature, and finding engaging alternatives to screen time. I believe children benefit from a healthy balance of structure, independence, play, and opportunities to explore their interests. I understand how much trust goes into welcoming someone into your home and caring for your children. My approach is warm, attentive, and adaptable, with an emphasis on creating a safe, supportive environment where children feel comfortable expressing themselves and parents feel confident in the care they're receiving. I value clear communication, respecting each family's parenting style, and being proactive about the little things that help a household run smoothly. I'm currently looking to transition into a more full-time nannying position and would love to build a long-term relationship with a welcoming, inclusive family that values thoughtful caregiving, communication, and individuality!
