Elizabeth $23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Malibu, CA

Hello! My name is Elizabeth and I'm currently entering my third year of college at Pepperdine University. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love working with kids and have been responsible for toddlers and kids of all ages since I was 13 years old. My responsibilities include driving to/from school, tutoring, as well as tidying up and run errands. I have had a few dogs myself and am experienced with feeding and walking but am open to learn to working with any pet! I have acquired my experience through being an older sister to my three younger siblings, a summer camp counselor since 8th grade for ages K-9th as well as a girls club counselor.

Hi! My name is Amanda and I am a college student at CSUN. I am 21 years old and I began babysitting at 13 years old. I strive for long-term connections with the families I help and I am CPR and first-aid certified by The Red Cross. I have been a youth club volleyball coach for 3 seasons now so I feel I have great experience with kids and teens with different personalities.

Stephanie $50 per hour for 1 child

Hello/Hola! I’m Stephanie! I have a background in education and over 14 years of experience working with children within a school district. I’ve worked with children ranging from ages 2–17, beginning as a Pre-K teacher and later becoming a supervisor for an after-school program within a school district. I have since transitioned into a new profession and currently work as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT). I offer evening babysitting for date nights, overnight care, pet sitting and dog walking, house errands, and light organizing. I love organizing!! I am also fluent in English and Spanish. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment. Whether it’s doing crafts, going for walks, having an adventure at the park, reading stories, playing games, or simply spending quality time together. I enjoy making each child feel comfortable, cared for, and heard. Patience is something I excel in. I’m also a huge animal lover! I have two dogs of my own, along with reptiles and fish, and I love caring for them every day. As a pet sitter, I can help with feeding, walking, playtime, companionship, and giving your pets the attention they need while you’re away. I’m comfortable with larger animals and pets that shed. I’m very used to it with my own dogs! I’m also happy to help with household errands, weekly to-do store pick up lists, and light organizing to make life a little easier for busy families. For senior care, I can provide companionship, conversation, a listening ear, and a warm, positive presence. I believe everyone deserves to feel valued, respected, and cared for. Whether you need someone for a date night, an overnight stay, pet care, errands, or simply an extra helping hand, I’d love the opportunity to help your family and get to know you guys.

Kathleen $20 per hour for 1 child

I truly love kids and have been a nanny for over 3 years. I've cared for children from ages 10 months to 7years. Toddlers are my jam, as I am patient and great a redirection. My strong points are that I respect the parents I work with and always honor their parenting style, and I love to give children space to explore and learn, but stay close enough to keep them safe, which is my number one priority.
