My name is Zoe, and I’m a college Junior. When I’m not in class, I work as a preschool teaching assistant near my home, with experience supporting kids ages 2 and up. I’m comfortable with diaper changes, potty training, and keeping little ones entertained and engaged. I also have plenty of experience with pets.

Meriam $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m Meriam! I’m a 26 year old woman living in Playa del Rey. I recently moved here after finishing school in Michigan. I have experience babysitting my nieces and nephews from their diaper days all the way into their teenage years. I love being in the company of children and understand the importance of having warm, positive, considerate role models around. I’m more than happy to accomodate any special needs and to help with school work and studying. I also have experience housesitting for family members and family friends, as well as dog walking! I have a dog and two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with pet personalities, feeding times, ailments, etc. I’m very detail oriented, patient, and empathetic. I value clear, professional communication and maintain high respect for all children, adults, and homes. I’m highly punctual and understand the value of your time! My work background mostly consists of restaurant service, administrative office work, and creative marketing. I’m happy to handle a number of household chores while I’m watching over your child(ren), as well as feed them pre-made meals or snacks! But, I am unable to meal prep or cook family size meals myself, due to strong personal preferences. I spend most of my free time studying for the LSAT, attending fitness classes, reading books, creative writing and drawing, and exploring the beautiful nature and city scenes California has to offer! :) Looking forward to discussing your family’s needs and seeing if I may be an ideal fit.
