Bianca $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Bianca. I am 23 years old from the SFV area. I’ve been around kids my whole life. Starting since elementary school in 5th grade I was a “buddy” for the younger students because of my love and attention for children. I’ve worked with the City of LA for a couple of years now working at Canoga Park Youth Art Center for kids as well as Reseda Park recreation in the past as a CIT for the summer camp. I occasionally baby sit family members/friends kids. I love spending time the future generation and kids tend to warm up to me quickly. I’m responsible, have a 4 seater car and valid CA DL. I also love animals like of all kinds I have 3 of my own 2 dogs and a cat. I also love to clean and organize.

Alexandra 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Alexandra and I am 27 years old. From a very young age I have attracted and been surrounded by children, but my first paid experience in the US began two years ago, when I decided to travel to this country as an au pair and experienced a cultural exchange. I developed new skills with infants and toddlers, sleep training, meal prep, motor development, crafts, sensory activities, baby milestones and much more (considering I lived with them). I believe that children feed your soul, strengthen your personality, patience, discipline and dedication and that is why I love working with them. I'm CPR and first aid certified. I'd describe my personality as kind, bright and optimistic, and I'm looking for a job that provides me stability and a good atmosphere. I will be available the first week of October and I am located in The Valley.

Alexa is the best babysitter I have ever had and she is still working with us full-time but we will be with family for holidays so hoping that she could be helpful for another family. I was nervous to leave my 4 month old with someone all day while my husband and I were both at work but Alexa has been so amazing I have no concerns that he is in wonderful hands. She proposed a sleeping and eating schedule and tidies while he sleeps, and is great at keeping him engaged with activities. She is also great with my 3.5 year old who is in preschool but is occasionally around as well. Happy to share more to anyone who is considering booking her!
