Booked by 35 families in San Fernando, CA

Hello! My name is Jayla and I am a recent NYU graduate who now works as a documentary producer. Growing up with twin toddler brothers, I’ve gained hands-on experience in all aspects of toddler and baby care, from diaper changes to nap routines. I've been babysitting for several years and am comfortable with children of all ages. I’m patient, reliable, and love creating fun, engaging environments for kids. I also make sure to keep parents updated and respect your child’s routine. I’d love to meet your little one(s) and provide them with a safe and enjoyable experience!

Do yourself (and your little ones) a favor and hire this girl! - Jayla is patient, warm, and communicative, and my little one took to her fairly quickly!

** I WILL BE UNAVAILABLE UNTIL MID/END OF AUGUST** Hello! My name is Monique, and I was a stay-at-home mom of two (now grown) children. After my kids grew up, and I thought about going to work, I couldn't think of anything I'd enjoy more (or am better at) than caring for children! I am nurturing, loving, patient, fun, silly, physically fit, experienced, and professional. - Adult & pediatric CPR and First Aid certified (American Red Cross) -Background checked through the California Trustline Registry and through the company Urban Sitter uses. I have lots of experience entertaining children with vastly different temperaments and energy levels. I love children of all ages- including the ones that are old enough to think they're smarter than you! I am quite skilled with babies, too. I love being silly and kids like me - seriously, they really do! I'll be down on the floor, in the grass, shooting hoops, whatever it takes, to interact with and engage your child. (Obviously, older children may not need/want that kind of attention.) You will not find me sitting on the couch watching TV while your child is playing. If your child needs help with school work, I love teaching (I home schooled one child for nine years, 4th-12th grade). Anything educational for infants up through high school is right up my alley! (I'm college educated, have a Masters degree from NYU, and have professional tutoring experience.) I will have no trouble keeping up with your kids. I'm am currently a competitive athlete and am super fit! I'm also a good swimmer and comfortable with kids in the water. My SUV seats seven, I can assemble nutritious meals, and I love dogs (I'm fine with other animals, too) I am super responsible, completely reliable, and I'm punctual! Thank you for your interest in me :) **BOOKINGS ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS: 24-hour cancellation policy, $60 charge, which is not intended as a penalty, but a small amount of the loss I incur from missing out on filling a premium spot.

$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 34 families in San Fernando, CA

Hi! My name is Jenny and I have over 15 years experience in childcare. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago and worked in the children's department of a library for several years. I did storytime, crafts, and helped children with homework and research at the library. I also love painting and drawing and enjoy teaching children how to draw, instilling in them my passion for the arts. I'm a lifelong bookworm, love reading with children, and hope I encourage their own love of books. Books, art, and a great role model can enrich a child's life and watching a child's development is very rewarding. I have worked primarily as a nanny the last five years since moving to Los Angeles. The wonderful families and children I've worked with and grown close to has sustained me in LA. I'm lucky to have created a network of families I babysit for and to have a role in their children's lives. I have the best parents in the world and I model the selfless, gentle, and devoted way I was raised. Being a parent is the hardest job in the world and I will do anything I can to make a parent's life easier.
