Booked by 1 family in Monrovia, CA

Hello- my name is Adriana. I absolutely adore children and love prioritizing educational and fun adventures! I have a background in babysitting and have a 15 year old daughter myself. I’m bilingual, love all things outdoorsy (so I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty), and I’m great with animals.

Adriana is fantastic. She did a phenomenal job watching my 4 year old Daughter. She was timely, professional, and very communicative. Highly recommend. Would hire again!

Booked by 1 family in Monrovia, CA

Hey there! My name is Gwendolyn, and I have over 15 years of babysitting experience. I have cared for children of all ages, including working as a summer nanny and supporting children on the spectrum. I especially enjoy working with creative and imaginative kids, and I love encouraging fun activities, crafts, and play. In addition to childcare, I regularly care for pets and have experience with senior dogs and cats, including administering medication. I am also available to assist as a household helper-whether that’s light cooking, cleaning, running errands, or helping with day-to-day tasks. And a bit about me: I love all things vintage fashion, Disney, and American Girl dolls. I’m really into history, storytelling, and creative hobbies, which is probably why I get along so well with imaginative kids. I’m friendly, reliable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know and build ongoing relationships with the families I work with.

Gwen was so great. When I asked my 5 year old if he liked her he said “I love her” 🥰 Will definitely be hiring her again!

Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and responsible babysitter with experience caring for children of all ages. I’m patient, creative, and love engaging kids through learning games, art, and outdoor play. Safety and communication are always my top priorities. I can also help with light housekeeping, pet care, or homework support. Families describe me as dependable, nurturing, and someone their kids feel comfortable with right away. I look forward to helping your family feel at ease knowing your little ones are in good hands!

Very attentive and professional. Great sitter, especially for children with special needs. Would definitely book again!
