Booked by 176 families in Monrovia, CA

I am a former elementary school science teacher and a marine scientist. I've been working with kids for 22 years: both as a teacher and as a babysitter for family (7 nieces and nephews), friends (I'm "auntie" to many more), and a professional babysitting company. I love working with kids because I am one at heart and love to discover the world at their level. I love running around playing games, doing crafts, reading books, and I am a great homework helper. When I get some free time, I love to go kayaking, hiking, and snorkeling.

LOVE that Xana is so worldly & openminded. She is knowledgeable of languages, customs, and is clearly a lifelong learner. This is someone I’d love for my children to grow up knowing!

Hello parents! My expertise ranges from newborns, to school aged children, and occasionally preteens. I know how to change diapers and make bottles to prepare healthy snacks and play while learning. From my experiences with children, it seems to me that children tend to easily bond with me as I am fun while providing a sense of trust and security. Family life is my passion as my own family means a lot to me. *I would gladly appreciate if you send me message first describing your needs. I can accept the job without a phone interview should we exchange messages with all the details. Ps.s. Last minute cancelations made within 6 hours of the start time would require payment for three hours of my time.

Hi Parents, I'm Sil, a multilingual babysitter with experience working with children of all ages and also with special needs. I love playing games, telling stories, and doing indoor/outdoor activities. My goal is to add value to your child's life, keep them engaged and safe at all times. I simply adore animals and often find myself lost in conversation with them for hours on end. It's truly amazing how much love and joy they bring into our lives. 💜 Can't wait to meet your family :)

I’m a parent of 1, my daughter is now an adult. I retired from the Army after 20yrs in 2016. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and have worked(played) in their nursery for over a year in my church. I have also taught in Sunday school 3-5yr olds and 12-15 yr olds. I love babysitting kids because I only had 1 and wanted more. I wouldn't have been able to continue in my career or make it to retirement if it wasn't for the babysitters & family I had for my daughter. I’ve lived in multiple states and 2 other countries as well as visited 19 countries for work. I love “working” with kids because they are nonjudgmental, carefree and a great reminder to slow down and enjoy simple things in life. I'm not looking to start a new career, I believe kids can make life fun and happier than being in a boring corporate office or answering to a boss.

Jessica took great care of my daughter! She was punctual, very patient and friendly. My daughter loved spending time with her. I would highly recommend her.
