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!

Shay 1 review
$21 per hour for 1 child

My name is Shay, and I’ve spent over 10 years caring for children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers—both in the U.S. and overseas. I’ve taught English through my church, helped care for children within my own family, and supported new mothers as they adjusted after welcoming their babies. I’m a caring, patient, and reliable babysitter who loves creating a safe, calm environment for children. I’m attentive, nurturing, and respectful of family routines, and I’m happy to help with playtime, meals, and light tidying. I take children’s safety and parents’ trust very seriously and am open to occasional or regular babysitting.

“I have observed Shay caring for children ranging from infants to teens. She has generously volunteered her time to care for pastors’ children during their busy schedules. Shay is well-loved by the children and consistently welcomes them with warmth, kindness, and a positive demeanor. As a parent of an infant myself, I have personally experienced her attentiveness—when Shay babysits for me, she takes immediate, proactive care of my child, allowing me to focus fully on my work with confidence and peace of mind. I confidently recommend Shay to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate babysitter.”

Ellen $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ellen and I would love to offer my services as a patient and nurturing caregiver. I like to think I am attentive, organized, and prioritize the safety of kids always! I can help with homework, engage kids in fun activities, prepare meals, manage bedtime routines, and keep the home clean. I love dogs and cats and am happy to assist with pretty much any household task! Families have described me as dependable, warm, and trustworthy. I truly enjoy building positive relationships with children while providing a structured, caring environment where they feel safe and supported. I’ve worked as a paraeducator in special education classrooms and am currently in the process of becoming an RBT (registered behavior technician). For families looking for household care rather than child care: I'd say I am super detail-oriented when it comes to cleaning. As long as I have the right supplies, I'll do a thorough job for your home! I can also cook most anything with a recipe to follow. On a whim though, I can make simple meals like fried rice, sandwiches, breakfast platter, and more!

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.
