Gabriella $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Gabriella. I'm 27 years old and I’ve been babysitting for over 15 years! I’ve primarily babysat kids ranging from 3-10 years old, but am comfortable and equipped to babysit kids of all ages, and love children. I love cooking, dancing, and animals—so there is no issue if you have a pet! I have a car, so transportation is also not an issue for me. Please reach out to me if you think I'll be a good match for you! :)

Booked by 1 family in La Crescenta, CA

Hi! I’m Vitória, and I have over 7 years of experience supporting fast-paced private families throughout Los Angeles as a nanny, household assistant, and personal organizer. I’ve cared for children from 3 months to 13 years old, with most of my experience being with families of three children between the ages of 2 and 8. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, meal preparation, daily routines, activities, homework support, and creating a calm, organized home environment. Beyond childcare, I’ve also supported families with household management, coordinating vendors, running errands, organizing spaces, and helping busy households operate smoothly behind the scenes. I’m currently looking for part time nanny or house assistant opportunities while I transition into an executive support career and continue growing my personal organizing/personal assistant business. I especially enjoy helping families through seasons of change—whether you’re relocating, searching for the right long-term nanny, or simply need an extra set of hands during a busy chapter. I also love supporting first-time moms as they settle into parenthood by creating thoughtful systems, routines, and an organized home that helps their new lifestyle feel a little more manageable. I’m warm, dependable, proactive, and truly enjoy making life easier for the families I work with. I look forward to connecting with you!

Presley $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Presley and I am a recent UCLA graduate! I am happy to offer services in child care, pet care, and household care. Although I had no choice, I have been a babysitter since the age of 3, when my parents brought my little brother home from the hospital. In the twenty years since, I have babysat for children between the ages of 4 and 11. As a high schooler, I tutored neighborhood kids in math and literature. I am confident that I can sufficiently assist in math homework through Algebra II. Beyond the scope of caring for human children, I have grown up with both dogs and cats and volunteered at the local Animal Shelter. I am more than happy to clean up after dogs or cats, take dogs for walks, and give them lots of love. I am extremely tidy, organized, and willing to do any chores around the house. Moreover, I can run errands and transport children or pets via car. As a whole, I consider myself to be a warm, enthusiastic, and committed person who gets along swimmingly with any living being, child, adult, or pet :)

Yoselin $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a warm, dependable, and experienced nanny, housekeeper, pet sitter, and family assistant with over 10 years of experience, starting at age 18. I have cared for children from 6 months to 18 years old, often managing multiple children at once, while creating a safe, loving, and structured environment. I support families with daily routines, meals, light housekeeping, errands, and overall household organization. I also have experience with pet sitting and house sitting, ensuring homes and animals are well cared for while families are away. I truly enjoy helping families feel supported, comfortable, and confident knowing their children and home are in good hands.

Booked by 1 family in La Crescenta, CA

I have 10+ years of experience for newborn-11 years old, have a PhD in engineering, tutor/professor experience, and am BLS, CPR, and NREMT certified. I’m a fun, reliable, and caring babysitter who loves working with children of all ages—from tiny tots to teens! Whether it’s bedtime stories, overnights, or busy after-school evenings, I’m here to make your routines smoother and your kids feel safe, happy, and loved. 💕 I’m all about creating engaging educational activities, and am also happy to cook, help tidy up, and keep things running smoothly so parents can relax knowing everything’s taken care of on date nights out of the house!

Jamie took wonderful care of our toddler. She was able to watch him, take him to the playground, feed him dinner, do bath time and put him to sleep to allow us to have a relaxing date night. She shared pictures during the whole time and sent updates. She is wonderful with kids and we will hire her again!
