Nicole $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nicole, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable college student based in the La Crescenta area. I genuinely enjoy working with kids, helping families, and creating a safe and positive environment. I’m patient, energetic, organized, and easy to communicate with, and I always try to make sure both parents and children feel comfortable and supported. Services I offer include babysitting, nannying, pet care, homework help, light housekeeping, organizing, errands, and helping around the house as needed. Child Care: I have experience caring for children of different ages and personalities, and I enjoy building fun, trusting relationships with kids while still keeping structure and safety a priority. I love doing activities like crafts, games, outdoor play, movie nights, baking, reading, and helping with homework or school projects. I’m also happy to help with routines like meals, bedtime, and keeping kids entertained in a positive way. Some of my strengths include being very patient, emotionally understanding, creative, and attentive. I can also help with tutoring/homework, basic cooking and snacks, and keeping things organized and clean while babysitting. Pet Care: I’m comfortable around a variety of pets and have experience helping care for dogs, cats, and other household pets. I can help with walking, feeding, playing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also comfortable with larger dogs and pets that shed. Household Services: In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping tasks such as laundry, tidying up, dishes, organizing, meal prep, errands, and helping keep the home running smoothly. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always willing to help where needed. I’m looking forward to connecting with families and helping out however I can!

Courtney $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a strong background in childcare, newborn support, and family care. I spent 3 years working as a preschool teacher, where I developed a love for creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments for children to learn and grow. In addition to teaching, I have over 5 years of nanny experience working closely with multiple families and supporting children through different stages of development. I am also a trained birth and postpartum doula as well as a newborn care specialist, which has allowed me to support families during some of the most important and vulnerable moments of their lives. My approach is calm, patient, attentive, and family-centered, with a focus on providing both emotional and practical support. Beyond childcare, I previously worked as a certified nurse’s assistant in senior living and rehabilitation centers, where I gained valuable hands-on caregiving experience and strengthened my ability to provide compassionate care to individuals of all ages. Outside of work, I’m a fur mom to two cats and recently said goodbye to my sweet senior dog who passed from old age.
