Kira Los Angeles
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kira, and I am a 19-year-old Global Jazz Studies major at UCLA. I have had plenty of experience in childcare, working at my mother's daycare as an assistant and babysitting with her on multiple occasions. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers, but am more than happy to work with school-age kids as well! I am also happy to cook, clean, and help with homework or help around the house if needed. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I love working with kids and am very flexible. I am here to accommodate your needs and provide the best care I can! In terms of pet-sitting, I have pet-sitted both dogs and cats and am happy to offer walking, feeding, playing, etc. I am comfortable with both small and large breeds and different personalities. I love animals and used to have a toy poodle of my own!

Hulya Santa Monica
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hulya, and I am a caring, responsible, and dependable person who enjoys spending time with children. I am a former dentist, which has given me strong skills in patience, communication, attention to detail, and maintaining a safe and healthy environment. Throughout my life, I have had experience caring for children, starting with my younger brother. I helped take care of him when he was a baby and continued to support and look after him as he grew older. This experience taught me the importance of responsibility, empathy, and creating a nurturing atmosphere. Since moving to the United States, I have also been doing occasional babysitting for families in my community. Through these experiences, I have cared for children of different ages, helping with playtime, meals, homework, bedtime routines, and ensuring they feel comfortable and secure while their parents are away. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to provide attentive, patient, and individualized care. My goal is to create a positive, safe, and engaging environment where children can have fun, learn, and feel supported. I would be honored to help your family and provide reliable childcare you can trust.

Maria Santa Monica
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Maria, a 25 year old university student seeking a job as a nanny. A little about me.. I grew up in Culver City until age 14 and moved to Santa Monica, I enjoy going to concerts and love to dance. I am an open-minded curious person; I like to try new things and travel to new places. I've just moved back from studying abroad in Europe. I lived in Germany for two years learning German. Although I am new to becoming a nanny, I do have years of experience in babysitting. As an oldest sibling and cousin, I grew up always being around children. (There are 13 of us!) As an older sister I am protective and nurturing to my younger siblings. Apart from that, I volunteered at a Summer Camp in Culver City for children between the ages of five and thirteen. A few of my responsibilities were to create and join in activities, tidy the work/play areas, and supervise groups on weekly field trips. Currently in university I am studying German as a Foreign Language. Studying language has helped strengthen my communication, adaptability, and intercultural competence skills. I would be thrilled to teach or practice any of my spoken languages with them! I am great at being interactive with kids, accustomed to following routines and completing multiple tasks- whether that be in the house or running errands. I would appreciate an opportunity to meet in person to answer any questions you may have and see if I may be a great candidate to help you and your family!
