$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 6 families in Monrovia, CA

Hi there! I’m Naomi, I recently graduated from SFSU with a bachelor’s in communications! I also work with a local nonprofit that provides after-school child care. I get to teach and supervise a group of awesome first graders every day, and it’s truly the highlight of my week. I love working with kids and always strive to bring a mix of fun, creativity, and care into everything we do — whether it’s arts and crafts, nature walks, or fun kitchen experiments. I’m also a big-time dog lover, so I’m more than happy to help out with pet sitting too! Can’t wait to meet your little ones (and furry friends)!

Naomi filled in for another babysitter last minute and the kids loved her!

Hi! My name is Priscilla, and I’m a college student working towards becoming an SLP. I absolutely love spending time with kids and creating a fun and safe environment for them.

Booked by 25 families in Monrovia, CA

Hi, my name is Tayman and I love working with children of all ages! I worked as a private caregiver in Boston and NYC where I also provided musical instruction in voice and piano. I am a bit of a Mrs. Doubtfire when it comes to my charges. I believe that it is my responsibility to help them grow into responsible and caring adults. My passions are music, board games, cooking, hiking, reading, and story telling! Contact me if you think we would be a good fit!

Booked by 23 families in Monrovia, CA

I am a graduate student at the University of Southern California. I went to the University of San Francisco for my undergrad, and ended up spending 7 years living in the city. Originally, I am from Texas and I have a younger brother and sister, and am older than most of my cousins so I have a lot of experience with kids and teenagers. I also mentored at Corey Elementary school during my junior year of high and at Boles Jr. High school during my senior year of high school. I used to babysit with this app all throughout undergrad so I have plenty of experience! I also have no pet allergies. Thanks for your time!
