Christina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Christina, and caring for children has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a family daycare, I was surrounded by the joy and energy of little ones, which inspired me to dedicate my life to early childhood education. With over 15 years of hands-on experience working in our family daycare, I’ve nurtured children of all ages, creating a loving and safe environment where they can learn and grow. I earned my Teacher’s Associate Certificate from UCLA to further my knowledge and skills, and I am currently an infant teacher at a preschool. I truly believe that every child deserves patience, warmth, and encouragement to thrive. My goal is to support families by providing the highest level of care, ensuring that both children and parents feel safe, valued, and supported. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your little ones and be a part of their early learning journey!

Michelle 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have a lot of valuable experience, both with raising 3 children, teaching preschool, babysitting, and helping my 104 year old grandma with technology!

Michelle (or Mimi as my toddler calls her) is the best. She’s been watching my very active son once a week for over a year, and I cannot emphasize how helpful she is. She’s patient, she focuses all of her attention on him and she makes playing fun. My son is absolutely exhausted after Michelle’s visits. He wakes up some mornings asking to “play date with Mimi” or will sing songs that she has taught him. Now that I have an infant too, she watches both boys with ease. Caretaking is her speciality. She’s very gentle and kind. Michelle is punctual, respectful and dependable. Whenever she comes over, I know I don’t have to worry about anything, she’s got in under control. I can go to work or run errands without hesitation.

Vanessa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Vanessa, and I look forward to meeting you! I recently graduated from UCLA and currently work part-time on weekends. I am interested in providing baby and childcare services, as well as occasional pet care. I have been babysitting since my teenage years. My knowledge of baby care is still fresh, especially since my baby niece is turning two. While it may seem easy, having an extra hand is always helpful. I possess a driver's license and own a car, which has allowed me to commute from residential areas to highways. I am comfortable with pickups and drop-offs, and I'm also okay with running quick, easy errands. NOTE: I am also open to pet and house-sitting
