Stephanie $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant with over 30 years of childcare experience, caring for children from newborns through teens. I’m also certified in CPR, First Aid, and BLS. I’m patient, nurturing, and dependable, and I enjoy helping children learn through reading, singing, games, and creative play. I also have experience caring for elderly women, including those living with dementia and Parkinson’s disease, as well as those receiving hospice care. I believe everyone deserves kindness, dignity, and compassionate attention. I’m happy to help with children’s meals, bottle washing, children’s laundry, and light housekeeping related to their care. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment while giving families peace of mind that their loved ones are well cared for.

Catherine $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello, and thank you for connecting. My name is Catherine, and I am a Los Angeles Native. I have my Master's degree in Educational Counseling and my B.S. in Rehabilitation Counseling. I have functioned as a professional advocate for 30 years. I have had the privilege of serving individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families throughout Southern California. My experience working with children began in parks and recreation, and lastly as a school counselor in the public school system. Throughout the years, I have been around children with and without developmental barriers to learning and physical challenges. I enjoy being around young-hearted people as they learn about life and themselves. Serving adults with various abilities to be as independent as possible is fantastic because, just like me, everyone wants to be the king/queen of their castle. I appreciate life and all that it offers, learning and being active on my bicycle, walking, playing catch with another, and going to the library are how I enjoy my precious time. I am here to be of service. Please feel free to contact me with any specific questions to help me best meet your child's and or adult care needs. Current Virtus (Protecting God's Children). C.E.R.T.

Hello! My name is Xitlali, and I’m a current student at USC studying neuroscience. I’ve always enjoyed working with children and hope to continue working with kids in my future career. I have experience caring for children ages 3–9 through both babysitting and tutoring. I’m patient, attentive, and love creating a fun and comfortable environment where kids can learn, play, and be themselves. Outside of school and babysitting, I enjoy knitting, crocheting, cooking, and reading. I also absolutely love animals and would be happy to help care for pets as part of my time with your family! I’m excited to provide dependable, caring support for your little ones. :)

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Noemi (Noe), and I'm passionate about providing thoughtful, personalized care for individuals of all ages and abilities as well as pets. I've worked as a middle school art teacher and an instructional aide, supporting students with a variety of abilities. I've also been a behavior technician and worked with young ones with ASD. I’ve been a caretaker as a side job since I was 15. I have experience caring for newborns to teenagers, as well as disabled young adults. I strive to make my care meet the needs of the young ones I work with. Whether that's imaginary play, board games, puzzles, books, or video games. I make our session fun, engaging, and reach developmental milestones. I also have experience taking care and being a companion to senior adults. I’ve taken care of my grandparents (80+) and a family friend who made it to the wonderful age of 90. Companionship is crucial to their mental health and I appreciate the wisdom they have to offer. I am patient, kind, and love to talk/listen to folks stories. As a dog parent myself (two wonderful pups, ages 7 and 13), I'm comfortable caring for both small and large dogs. Whether it's ensuring a safe, nurturing environment for your loved ones or providing attentive care for your furry friends, I'm here to help. Let's connect to discuss how I can support your family!

“Noemi is amazing! From ages 9-16, Noemi babysat my younger brother who has Down Syndrome. Through the years, Noemi supported my brother in managing and completing daily routine tasks such as homework, daily hygiene, and creative outlets. Noemi was always very patient and a great communicator which supported my brother in reaching his interpersonal goals to be able to carry out meaningful conversations to build relationships. Noemi's passion for supporting other's can be seen and felt. I am so grateful to have had someone that truly values and cares for others care for my younger brother.”

Jacqueline V 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jacqueline, but you can call me Jackie or Jax. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I consider it my backyard and love exploring its ever-changing face. I have been a mother's helper since I was 12, and at 16, I had the honor of babysitting and nannying alone. People may call me a people pleaser, but I truly enjoy being part of the village and helping people and animals, any which way. It has always been fulfilling to me. Life gets super busy, so an extra helping hand doesn't hurt anyone. I am currently at Santa Monica College pursuing a nursing degree. Thanks for taking the time to read about me, and I look forward to working with you.

“Jax has been an incredible person to have around my son. She has such positive energy and is so creative with activities. I would recommend her to any friend or stranger. She is always reliable and easy to communicate with. In addition, she is always great around our dog. My son has so much fun with her and she really encourages him to be independent and try things.”
