Find a babysitter in Granada Hills, CA

Hi! My name is Dani, and I’m a dedicated and reliable babysitter with nine years of childcare experience. I am a graduate from Cal State Los Angeles with a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and 12 units in Early Childhood Education/Childhood Development Studies, giving me a strong foundation and understanding in caring for children. I have worked with children of all ages, from infants to teens, but I have the most experience caring for toddlers and elementary-aged kids. My past responsibilities for previous families have included school pick-ups, driving to extracurricular activities, homework help, light cleaning, meal and snack prep, and bedtime routines. I am CPR, First Aid, and Water Safety certified, ensuring your child’s safety at all times. Additionally, my work experience in the mental health field has given me the skills to provide a calm, patient, and supportive environment for children of all backgrounds and needs. Being on time, following rules, and having good communication with parents are values I hold, while still being able to make things fun and enjoyable for the kids. As a babysitter, it is important for me to be present and connect with your kids. I’d love the opportunity to support your family in providing quality care for your children.

Hi there! I am 24 years old, and recently moved from NYC to LA to work at UCLA. I am a Staff Research Associate at a developmental neuroscience lab working on an important childhood development study. A huge part of my job involves working with infants, from newborn to 2 years old. I am looking for some babysitting jobs to fill my free time, and would love to help out your family! During my undergraduate years at Barnard College, | studied psychology, with a focus in childhood development. I worked in the Barnard Center for Toddler Development as a teacher for 12 2-year-olds. I have an extensive background in developmental psychology coursework, including Infant Development and Atypical Development. During the summers, I work as a head counselor and program coordinator at a sleep away camp for ages 8-17. I love cooking, and planning activities for children to do after school.

Hello! My name is Alley, and I'm a recent UCLA graduate with extensive experience in education and with kids. A little more about me: I have several years of experience working with children. Most recently, I've worked at an after-school program as a coordinator, creating curriculum for elementary aged children focused on expression and creativity. I’ve also worked at a daycare center in the Bay Area, where I gained lots of experience with children in all aspects of their daily care. I was directly responsible for infants as young as 4 months old, and children aged 2-12 years old at this center. In both roles I cared for several children at a time—so, I feel well prepared me for just about any babysitting scenario under the sun! I have also done occasional sitting for families in the Los Angeles area. I really love being a small part of a child’s upbringing and seeing them develop into amazing individuals. It’s been super rewarding. I have used UrbanSitter as an avenue to seek out these opportunities, and have worked with some wonderful families as a result! Besides all that, I have experience as a dance teacher at a children’s summer camp in Northern California, and have done language tutoring in both French and English. Also not bad at cooking kids favorites like mac n cheese or PB&Js. Please feel free to reach out if you're interested in having me work with your family! Always happy to chat or provide references.
