Ariela $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a loving, dependable, and very experienced caregiver with a lifelong connection to children. I’m a mother of four grown children, so I understand firsthand the joys and responsibilities that come with caring for children at every stage. Earlier in my life, I owned and operated a daycare while raising my own children, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for multiple children and managing all the day-to-day needs that come with childcare. Since then, I’ve built a career in real estate, appraisals, general contracting, and home renovations, and I continue to enjoy babysitting and caring for children. I currently babysit toddlers, young children, and school-age children. I’m comfortable with different ages, personalities, routines, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and enjoy keeping children engaged with age-appropriate activities while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. After many years of raising children, running a daycare, and working professionally, I bring a great deal of experience, common sense, and reliability to every family I work with. I truly enjoy spending time with children and would love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Malibu, CA

I’ve been caring for children, homes, and families for over 15 years. I started babysitting at age 15 and have continued working with kids of all ages ever since. Now at 30, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, experience, and maturity to every family I work with. I graduated from Brown University, where I was a Division I lacrosse player and captain of the team my senior year. That experience shaped my leadership, discipline, and ability to stay calm and organized in fast-paced environments—qualities I bring into caregiving every day. Professionally, I’m a business owner, which speaks to my reliability, time management, and strong communication skills. Families trust me not only with their children, but also with their homes. I’ve frequently been hired to house sit while families travel, managing everything from daily upkeep to pet care and ensuring everything runs smoothly while they’re away. I have extensive experience tutoring middle and high school students, so I’m very comfortable helping with homework, keeping kids engaged, and supporting their academic growth. I also regularly care for my nephew, which has deepened my ability to connect with children in a patient, attentive, and genuinely caring way. Overall, I’m known for being dependable, trustworthy, and easy to work with. I bring a positive, grounded energy and take pride in creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for both kids and families.

Hulya $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hulya, and I am a caring, responsible, and dependable person who enjoys spending time with children. I am a former dentist, which has given me strong skills in patience, communication, attention to detail, and maintaining a safe and healthy environment. Throughout my life, I have had experience caring for children, starting with my younger brother. I helped take care of him when he was a baby and continued to support and look after him as he grew older. This experience taught me the importance of responsibility, empathy, and creating a nurturing atmosphere. Since moving to the United States, I have also been doing occasional babysitting for families in my community. Through these experiences, I have cared for children of different ages, helping with playtime, meals, homework, bedtime routines, and ensuring they feel comfortable and secure while their parents are away. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to provide attentive, patient, and individualized care. My goal is to create a positive, safe, and engaging environment where children can have fun, learn, and feel supported. I would be honored to help your family and provide reliable childcare you can trust.

Ally 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Malibu, CA

Hi! My name is Ally 😊 I recently graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a degree in Psychology, and I bring over a year and a half of full-time experience as an Assistant Daycare Teacher. That role strengthened my skills in child development, behavior guidance, structured learning, and creating safe, engaging environments for children of all ages. Prior to that, I worked as a tutor, babysitter, and provided private youth soccer training, giving me a well-rounded background in both academic and active enrichment. I currently hold a Level 3 Early Childhood Professional Credential and am certified in First Aid, CPR, and AED. Safety is always my top priority, but I also love creating fun, educational, and fulfilling experiences that help kids feel confident and supported. Outside of childcare, I love staying active, being outdoors, and being around family and friends. I am also currently pursuing my certification in personal training, nutrition, and women's health and fitness! I look forward to connecting with families and becoming someone your children feel excited to see!
