Hello! I bring decades of experience to your family as I am a mother, and I babysit my nieces and nephews. I am well versed in STEM-based teaching curriculum and arts-based learning. I hold a UCLA degree and am fully fluent in English and Spanish. I am also a trained birth doula to support new parents. I also successfully raised my son, who is now in college. Aside from babysitting, I am willing to run errands and do your family’s grocery shopping. I am community-minded and recently won an award from the LA County for Human Relations - LA vs Hate project, I love to laugh, teach children how to read, write and do crafts and art projects. I can also teach your children some basic capoeira moves. I am willing to commute kids to school and prepare healthy meals. I also love being around elders from your family and am willing to run errands for them as well. Feel free to reach out and I’d be happy to send you my resume.

Hello, I'm Kyla! I love the outdoors, art making of all kinds, and doing puzzles. My degree from NYU is in Early Childhood Education and Theater, combining my passion for theater with my knack for working with young people. I am also a trained and skilled private chef with a specialty in whole-ingredient, low-waste cooking, and experience working with a variety of specialized diets. I've spent the last 3 years as a combination private chef and teacher in a preschool for children aged 2-5. Multitasking in engaging conversations while creating nutritious and filling meals for 3 dozen toddlers everyday is a joyful juggling act! I love the magic and imagination of early childhood, and I thrive in the many ways it inspires me to improvise. For 18 months during the COVID lockdown, I ran a special "Kyla Camp" engaging 8 elementary students in daily activities and tutoring, to provide stability and crucial social-emotional development. Developing relationships with children and their families over time and working as part of their team, within their village, is deeply meaningful work. I am a play-based educator, and subscribe to elements of both RIE and Montessori style teaching. My instincts are to first observe behavior as communication of a need, to asses how that need can be met, and provide gentle redirection to allow a child-led exploration of the world. My experience as a private nanny is with children from 12 weeks to 10 years, and these principles have served me with children of all ages. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, I enjoy spending time outdoors at the beach or camping in the mountains, so Southern California is a paradise to me. I love taking walks with my dog Gayle, who also enjoys the company of children.

Hi! My name is Betsy, and I’m 22 years old. I’m currently a graduate student at California State University, Long Beach, pursuing a Master’s in Social Work. As an older sibling and cousin in my family, I’ve always loved caring for and supporting kids of all ages. I’ve worked as a youth instructor for a third-grade class and most recently served as a social work intern at an elementary school, where I supported students' mental health using play therapy techniques. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

Hi! My name is Eloisa I am 25 years old. I've been working with kids since I was 14 years old. I am offering childcare. I've taken care of kids from the ages of 1 month- 13 years old. The children I cared for were mostly from family and friends. Recently I did take care of 2 kids outside of my family. Which I worked with them for a little over a year. My responsibilities were driving to/from school, light cooking, helping with homework, laundry, and driving them to their after school activities. As well as overnight stays when the parents needed to travel. I did a lot of activities with the kids such as take them out to the park, bowling, crafts, baking, and etc. I am very compassionate person, adaptable, patient, and willing to learn new things if needed. Aside from this job I have worked with multiple other kids ranging from 1 month old to 14 years old. Some being one time or occasional jobs which I have enjoyed doing. I can talk more about these experiences if needed it's just a lot to write it. I went back to school earlier this year and I took a few child development classes and I have in the past as well. :)
