Deena Irvine
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Deena and I'm a first-year college student at UC Urvine with a genuine love for working with children. I've been helping out with my younger brother since I was 7, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to connect with kids of all ages. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I plan to become a child therapist in the future, so working with kids is something I'm truly passionate about. Families can count on me to be attentive, nurturing, and dependable.

Sasha Los Angeles
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sasha, and I’m based in Silver Lake. I have years of experience working with children through babysitting, teaching, and summer camps, and I genuinely love spending time with kids and entering their world creatively and energetically. I started babysitting in high school and college, including caring for my neighbor’s daughter through late nights, school pickups/drop-offs, and soccer practices. I also regularly babysat two boys, ages 4 and 5, where we spent most of our time doing arts and crafts, building things, playing imaginative games, reading before bed, and staying active rather than relying on screen time. I also worked as an art teacher for children ages 4–14 and taught summer camps as well. During weekly classes, I often independently managed two groups of 10–12 kids at a time, balancing creativity, structure, and making sure every child felt included and engaged. A little more about me personally, I studied English Literature in college and completed all of the coursework for my Master’s degree before ultimately deciding to move to Los Angeles to pursue music full time. I’m now a musician and creative person at heart, and I think that background has made me especially patient, imaginative, and communicative with kids. I really value creativity, curiosity, and making children feel understood and encouraged. I’m also a native Spanish speaker, very active, and love cooking, art, music, reading, and spending time outdoors. I’d be happy to help with meal prep, homework, creative activities, bedtime routines, or simply creating a fun and calm environment for your child. I’m dependable, warm, playful, and genuinely enjoy building trust with both kids and parents.

$22 per hour for 1 child

I am a caring, dependable, and energetic caregiver with a strong passion for working with children of all ages. I have over 7+ years of experience. My experience caring for kids has taught me the importance of patience, creativity, and consistency in creating a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive. I enjoy engaging with kids through play, learning activities, and routines that encourage growth, independence, and confidence. I bring excellent communication and problem-solving skills, allowing me to connect easily with both children and parents. Whether helping with homework, preparing healthy meals, organizing fun activities, or maintaining structure throughout the day, I approach every task with enthusiasm and attention to detail. In addition to my child care experience, I’ve also provided support to seniors, pets, and households—skills that have strengthened my ability to multitask, stay organized, and adapt to different needs and personalities. My compassionate nature and dependable work ethic make me someone families can trust to care for their children. I take pride in being reliable, positive, and calm under pressure, always putting the safety and well-being of children first while fostering a warm, loving environment that encourages learning and joy every day.
