Xana
$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 61 repeat families
99 reviews$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 176 families in Los Angeles, CA
I am a former elementary school science teacher and a marine scientist. I've been working with kids for 22 years: both as a teacher and as a babysitter for family (7 nieces and nephews), friends (I'm "auntie" to many more), and a professional babysitting company. I love working with kids because I am one at heart and love to discover the world at their level. I love running around playing games, doing crafts, reading books, and I am a great homework helper. When I get some free time, I love to go kayaking, hiking, and snorkeling.
“LOVE that Xana is so worldly & openminded. She is knowledgeable of languages, customs, and is clearly a lifelong learner. This is someone I’d love for my children to grow up knowing!”

Booked by 23 families in Los Angeles, CA
Hi! I'm Abra. I have experience as a nanny, resort children's program director, and instructor for maritime/marine biology camps. I have experience as a private chef during covid as well as private deckhand/stew. I enjoy cooking. I loved having the opportunity to be a stay at home mom for many years to my daughter, who is now 19, and in college. I currently work part time as a marine surveyor on container ships and oil tankers. In my free time I love to go tidepooling, and I have a native wildflower project I've been working on by myself for several years in Laurel Canyon. I can make an art, craft or science project out of just about anything. I have a ton of silly songs I know by heart, and still love to play. I also have experience with volunteer hospice care and limited mobility care.
“Abra was amazing with my 9, 6 and 3 year olds. I could tell that she genuinely enjoys hanging out with kids and my kids loved her. Thank you so much for your help Abra!”

Hi there! My name is Monica. I have about 7 years paid experience in babysitting and been babysitting family members on and off since high school. I am also certified in First Aid/ CPR/ AED. I love kids. I enjoy watching, playing as well as teaching them. I love to nurture their interests and development whichever way they chose. Listening to their silly story and witnessing their small milestones are definitely some of my favorite most rewarding things as a sitter! A little more about myself, I grew up drawing a lot of cartoon characters and many of the kids I sit love and enjoy their drawing/coloring session with me! Currently, I’m babysitting kids ranging from 1 year old to 11 years old once or twice a week. However, my schedule is flexible since I work from home. I also tutor, specializing in math. I will charge a different rate per discussion. For older kids, pick up & drop off, rates may vary. Minimum 4hrs of booking. If booked under 4hrs, $5/ per hour additional charge would be added. Safety and communication is my top priority! Love dogs and cats! I’m vaccinated and boosted, and I DO NOT work with sick children. My calendar is not always updated, so please do message me for availability. Please feel free to reach out to me for any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
“Incredibly friendly and great with our 2 year old. Definitely asking her to come back! ”

Booked by 13 families in Los Angeles, CA
Hi! I’m Fatima 😊 I have tons of experience babysitting, I started caring for kids when I was around 15/16, and it quickly became something I genuinely love. Childcare has always felt natural to me. I’m reliable, patient, communicative, and really good at balancing fun with structure. I’ve completed college credits in Child Development, worked as a preschool teacher, and in an after school program with middle school students. I also have experience as a Behavioral Therapist for children with special needs, which strengthened my skills in adapting to each child’s unique needs, supporting routines, and staying calm in challenging moments. I love the chance to support your family. Thank you for checking out my profile I’d be happy to bring a mix of fun, learning, and care to your little one’s day! 💛
“Great commutation very patient and kind I will definitely be booking again ”
