My name is Markie and I am a 29 year-old with a B.A. in Legal Studies and Politics. I have just completed law school and I am currently awaiting CA Bar results. I am the middle child of 5 children and have always played a huge role in looking after my siblings. I have worked as an au pair or live-in nanny and tutor in Italy for two young children. I absolutely love children and even took several child development classes in my undergraduate career. I am also CPR certified. I have also been told I can make some amazing Mexican food dishes!

“Markie! Is absolutely amazing. We will definitely be reaching out to her again. She was great with my kiddo and super friendly!”

Booked by 1 family in Midway City, CA

I’m currently a college student at USC with 4 years of tutoring experience, working with students of all ages to help them grow academically and build confidence. For the past 3 years, I’ve also babysat part-time for multiple families, primarily caring for children ages 1 and up. I’ve handled infants on several occasions and would love to gain more hands-on experience with younger babies as well. I’m calm under pressure, very organized, and always prioritize creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing snacks, playing games, or managing bedtime routines, I’m happy to support families however I can. As a student, I bring energy and strong communication skills. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with both kids and parents, and I’m committed to making your family’s day a little easier.

Booked by 1 family in Midway City, CA

Hi, my name is Kristyna. I’m a reliable and caring babysitter with several years of hands-on experience working with children of different ages. I spent 2 years as an au pair, where I provided full-time care—managing daily routines, organizing activities, helping with meals, and creating a safe, fun environment for kids to thrive. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and aim to keep them engaged, happy, and well cared for while giving parents peace of mind. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs and personality. I’m currently looking for date night babysitting opportunities and occasional help. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, bedtime routines, homework, and fun activities to keep your kids entertained.

Dung $30 per hour for 1 child

As a single mom, I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to manage work, family, household, responsibilities, and everything in between especially when you don’t have that extra set of hands when you need it most. My children are older now and I’m at a point in life where I’d love to use the time and experience I’ve gained as a mom to help other families. I know that sometimes what a family needs isn’t something complicated it’s simply someone dependable, caring and trustworthy. who can step in and make the day a little easier. I’m available to help with childcare, light house tasks, meal preparation, organizing, and everyday responsibilities that can sometimes feel overwhelming. Whether you need someone to help keep your children company, lend a hand around the house, take them to the park, or simply give you a few hours to catch your breath. I’m here to help.
