Hi! I'm Abra. I have experience as a nanny, resort children's program director, and instructor for maritime/marine biology camps. I have experience as a private chef during covid as well as private deckhand/stew. I enjoy cooking. I loved having the opportunity to be a stay at home mom for many years to my daughter, who is now 19, and in college. I currently work part time as a marine surveyor on container ships and oil tankers. In my free time I love to go tidepooling, and I have a native wildflower project I've been working on by myself for several years in Laurel Canyon. I can make an art, craft or science project out of just about anything. I have a ton of silly songs I know by heart, and still love to play. I also have experience with volunteer hospice care and limited mobility care.

Abra was just AMAZING from the first go. She was friendly, punctual, responsible and made us feel at ease. We were visiting LA and she helped us with our 11 month old in a hotel room. I would highly recommend her and if we are visiting LA again, we would definitely connect with her.

Hello, Attention: I don't work with sick kids or recovering kids from cold, flu and so on. Thank you for understanding! Now back to me: I'm 37 years old. Have experience babysitting for 10 years on this website. I have a 6 year old and a 10 year old kids myself. Primarily looking to work for someone who would want to go on a date, to work or so on ( 4-12 hours). Anywhere from occasional to a few times a week jobs. Tutoring/Homeschooling for grades 3rd and under available for 15$ an hour at my place. Have experience from homeschooling my son since he was 2.5 years old and school affiliated homeschooling since March of 2020. Plus was totally homeschooled for 1st grade. Overnight/Daycare, closed days care is also provided. if you can bring your kid over to my place rate is 15$/hour per kid. 18$ for two etc. Have a separate room with 2 twin mattresses and also have pack and play if needed for younger ones. For older kids 3 and up I usually bring activities like a coloring book with markers , activity books, stickers or a small art project to do ( beads, mosaics) Ok with driving to your place or you can drop the kid off at mine either way is fine depends on the time of day. At our place we have back yard, pool ( gated and only operational during summer time) , toys, building blocks, magnet-tiles, marbles maze, duplos, puzzles, painting, beads, art table, and a park walking distance away it’s a walkway from our house so no roads need to be crossed ( if you are ok with me taking kids to the park). For babies we also have pack and play, baby safe toys. So if you want to drop a baby off here just bring diapers, bottles, formula/breast milk and wipes as some kids are sensitive to different wipes. Hope to talk to someone soon:)

Hi! My name is Andria and I am a teacher in Ventura County. I have a Masters Degree in Education and currently hold a multiple subject credential. I have always loved kids, and have been babysitting since I was 11 years old. I have been a nanny in San Francisco and Ojai CA. I have taught in LAUSD, OUSD, and VUSD, and have worked with babies, toddlers, and children all around the state, from newborns to teenagers! I love to sing, draw, play fairies and also have an extensive knowledge of Mine Craft, Dog Man comics, legos, and more. I've worked for Boys and Girls Club, and have extensive experience with children who have disabilities. What does your family need? I’m open to a variety of family needs, like tutoring, sitting, family care, pet sitting, etc. I'd love to meet you and your child!

Andria was on time, friendly, great energy. She followed direction well and completed the assignment efficiently. My daughter liked her. I would welcome her back.

Brooke 1 review
Ventura
$20 per hour for 1 child

BACKGROUND: Hi there, my name is Brooke! I recently moved to Los Angeles full time after getting engaged and I work part time as a Public Health Consultant. Now that I am settled, I am looking to get back into sitting because I miss being around kiddos! I also currently provide part time care for my grandfather who has dementia. EXPERIENCE: I have extensive experience being a nanny and sitter in San Diego, CA. I worked as a nanny to get myself through my undergrad and masters degrees. I have a bachelors degree in Kinesiology and a Masters in Public Health. I worked with kiddos who had developmental disabilities as well as those who did not. I worked with several families over the course of about 5 years and am happy to provide a reference if needed. PERSONAILITY TRAITS: I thoroughly enjoy playing, exploring, crafting, promoting healthy behaviors, and getting to know the kiddos and families I work with. I do not typically allow any screens when I am around children unless that is what you prefer. I love being outdoors and exercising so I enjoy engaging kiddos in fun activities outside that get them moving. I am excited to possibly work with your family!

Brooke is such a warm, kind, loving, responsible person; I can't say enough good things about her! She worked with our family for 5 years babysitting and helping out our family. My three daughters absolutely loved her, and they respected her too, which was very important to me. She offered a great balance between fun and structure for my girls, and didn't let them run amok while I was away. You don't want to leave your kids with a babysitter where anything goes and the house is a disaster when you return home. When you work with Brooke, you can trust that it'll be a great experience for you and your kids.
