Booked by 20 families in Playa Del Rey, CA

Fully vaccinated. I am 31 and graduated from High Point University with a BS in Business Administration, and minored in Marketing. I spent my Junior year abroad at Bond University in Australia studying International Business. I began working with children at a very young age starting as a mothers helper when I was in elementary school. From there I have accumulated countless hours between babysitting, nannying, coaching gymnastics to 3-13 year olds and special needs children, tutoring math, ESL and writing. I have experience as a live in nanny as well. Additionally I have experience teaching swim lessons to toddler age children, and spent many Summers as an Ocean Rescue Lifeguard in New Jersey. I love being able to help children learn and grow, as well as being able to take some stress off of parents. I grew up with two younger brothers and was always helping to care for them. I really enjoy traveling, outdoor activities and animals.

“My kids loved Allison and so did we. She came by for a meet and greet and then picked our kids up from the bus stop and kept them entertained and on track with homework. We will definitely hire her again.”

If I sit for your family, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd rate me on my services to you. Hi! I’m a caring and dependable childcare provider with over 15 years of experience working with children from infancy through early elementary age. I’m currently studying Child Development and work on call as a substitute Teacher Assistant with children ages 0–5. I have a strong background in infant and toddler care and am comfortable with all parts of daily routines, including feedings, naps, diapering, potty training, and bedtime. I’ve cared for up to four children at once and enjoy supporting sibling relationships in a calm, positive way. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and supported. I aim to create a fun, nurturing environment while also following family routines and expectations closely. I’m reliable, patient, and communicative, and I love helping parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

Hi I'm Sarah. I am a college graduate with professional work experience. I babysat in my teenage years for families in my neighborhood and some outside of my neighborhood who knew me. The majority of those families had young children & infants as they were growing their families. I also had grade school age children. I love playing with kids, making sure they are having fun and sometimes educational experiences. I love the outdoors and taking kids out to the park.

“Came on short notice and got along well with the kids, plus picked up in living room!”

Booked by 8 families in Playa Del Rey, 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!”
