Hi! My name is Reem, I am currently a freshman in college but love to do babysitting on the side! I have loads of professional experience with kids of all ages. Some of my experience includes assistant soccer coaching, taking child development in high school, interning at a preschool and working as a special education assistant teacher. I also took care of my special needs brother from time to time! I can do pretty much anything you need like light housekeeping, homework, prepping snacks, taking kids outside, etc. I’m patient, understanding, can work in a fast paced environment and overall loving! Sometimes all a kid needs is someone to talk to or for someone to listen to them, which I am always willing to do!

Reem was a great sitter!! My 18 mo old took right too her and she was so engaging with him the whole time. We will def hire her again.

Hello there, I'm Elis! I am a caregiver specialized in early childhood development. I've been working with kids all ages for over 8 years now. In Brazil, where I’m from, I’ve worked as a teacher and manager of an English school for two years and a half, before moving to US, in this past experience, I've had the chance to learn about pedagogy, early childhood learning and educational activities with focus on learning while having fun. I have taken neuroscience courses mostly as a hobby, but I’m very passionate about mental health, and having in mind the importance of a healthy childhood, I do my best to always lead with kindness and empathy, while dealing with kids. I love singing, act, arts, crafts, and I consider myself a very active and creative person. I'm very patient and able to adapt to different types of schedules, kids tend to adapt really well with me. I'm very committed to my job and consider punctuality something essential, even though I can be flexible and I'm always open to suggestions of how to improve my services. I believe that everything can be easily solved with communication, respect and kindness, as we are a team, working together with the goal of providing the best possible care for your little one. I'm looking forward to hear from you, let me know if you have any specific questions. Thank you! (FYI: Covid vaccinated)

Elis was so sweet and my daughter had a great time with her. Would definitely have her back.

Booked by 6 families in Pacoima, CA

As the oldest sister of eight siblings my story life helped me to develop the skills to care for kids of all ages, evolving into a problem-solving patient caregiver. In my youth, I started volunteering as a babysitter and tutoring in my community. Later, I went to medical school and graduated as an International Medical graduate in Ecuador, I am currently volunteering at Yale School of Medicine conducting remote research on child development while studying to take the exams for the US medical license. While in college, I practiced Andean folkloric ballet as a professional dancer which aided to sharpen my skillset for teamwork and leadership, expanding my creativity which comes in handy in activities for kids. I am fluent in English and a native Spanish speaker, so I could tutor kids teaching Spanish if it’s an interest of their parents for them to become polylingual. I am also an adept pet house sitter and enjoy gardening. I have professional knowledge on nutrition and am passionate about children's well-being and healthy lifestyles. I am a loving aunty of four cuties, and I like to keep up to date with the animated movies to be able to give them my point of view on their topics while reading fantasy books to them as much as I can. I aspire to become a pediatric surgical oncologist, and will be applying for pediatric and surgical residency programs for 2027. I have a very flexible schedule until then. Looking forward to working with you!

Karina was wonderful--kind, patient, playful and funny, with a calm energy that made my children trust and enjoy her presence. She handled everything beautifully. She is reliable, resourceful, grounded, and composed. We will definitely work with her again! Amazing sitter!
