$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Los Angeles, CA

Hi! My name is Brenda. I absolutely love working with children and creating supportive, engaging, and meaningful experiences for them. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 years old and have had the joy of caring for some of the same children all the way through their high school years. Building real relationships with families and watching kids grow has been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. I currently babysit for a wonderful family of three children ages 6, 9, and 12, where I support with dinner, evening routines like reading together, and fun outdoor adventures including hiking and exploring nature. I also occasionally take two girls on cultural and educational excursions around the city, helping them learn through experiences, curiosity, and discovery. I hold a degree in World Arts and Cultures from UCLA, which allows me to bring creativity, storytelling, movement, and arts activities into the time I spend with kids. I value imagination, kindness, learning, and creating an uplifting environment where kids feel safe and supported. For families with teens, I’m also happy to support with college preparation, including guidance on admissions written statements and helping students express their stories and strengths confidently as my professional training centers around supporting students. I’m reliable, patient, nurturing, and genuinely enjoy being part of a child’s world. I would love to support your family, too!

Brenda helped me with an apartment cleaning job - she was on time and very thorough, and she always had a smile on her face. She's great!

I am a trained Early Childhood Educator from Switzerland with a professional diploma in childcare and early childhood development. I am fluent in both French and can speak English but still work on it. I have strong experience caring for children of different ages, supporting their emotional, social, and developmental needs in a safe and nurturing environment. I am used to working with routines, preparing meals, organizing activities, and creating a calm and structured space where children feel secure and happy. I am reliable, patient, and attentive, and I take my responsibility as a caregiver very seriously. Families can trust me to provide high-quality care, respect their home, and give their children the attention and care they deserve.

Sabrina 1 review
Los Angeles
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hihii! I’m Sabrina, I graduated from UCLA and now work full-time at the university. I’ve always been someone who takes initiative and works hard, which definitely shows in the way I care for kids. I helped raise my younger brother and have been a big part of my 7 year old nephew’s life since he was born. Coming from a big family, I’ve always had a caregiving role. I have five siblings, so I know how to manage different needs and personalities at once. I also know how to cook and would often prepare meals for everyone, which taught me how to stay organized and patient, especially during busy moments. While I was in college, I worked as a tutor and also spent time as a teacher assistant in a sixth-grade classroom, helping students with both schoolwork and classroom routines. I’m always happy to help with homework or create learning moments during play. Outside of work, I love being outdoors, going on walks, and spending time in green spaces. I’m also a big fan of cafes, matcha, cute characters (sanrio & rilakkuma), and exploring new spots around the city. I bring that same calm and creative energy when babysitting, and I always try to keep kids engaged with fun activities and time outside. I’m dependable, caring, and genuinely love spending time with kids. If you’re looking for someone who’s thoughtful, hands-on, and experienced, I’d love to help out.

Sabrina has been such a huge part of our lives. She’s been watching my son since he was 4 and now he’s 9 and he still gets so excited whenever he finds out she’s coming over. That alone says so much about the kind of person she is. They spend their time dancing, drawing, playing games, laughing, and she always makes sure he’s fed and happy. She treats him with so much love, patience and care. It gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m away. She also handles bedtime and morning routines like a pro and keeps me updated if anything comes up. As a mom there’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is safe, loved, and happy. We absolutely adore her and I can’t recommend her enough!
