I have at least 5 years of babysitting experience. I can also help with Light Housekeeping and Cooking/Cleaning. I have a license and I am safe and reliable. Being a child caregiver/babysitter is something that means so very much to me! I love children and hope to transfer to University soon to teach in an elementary school setting. I am completed a volunteer internship with Kids Hope USA through Christian Association and Eagle Rock Elementary. I volunteered in my small home church before it closed as the Co-Lead Teacher in a Sunday School program. I enjoy singing, reading, listening to stories, sharing experiences with others and encouraging children to do their best!

My daughter said she really likes Jessica. Very friendly and patient. She read books and play games with her. Recommended!

I have worked in a school setting for 9 years now working as a teacher assistant, a behavior therapist one on one for children with Autism, and providing services in home settings in addition to school settings. I also babysat for over a year full time while going to university. I graduated with my bachelors in psychology and my masters in counseling/clinical counseling. At this time, I am currently a high school counselor working full-time and have some time during the week in the evenings or on some weekends to babysit. I prefer picking up shifts occasionally. I am organized, responsible, trustworthy, punctual, empathetic, loving, friendly, and extremely playful. My empathetic nature has always benefited me when working with kids because they always gravitate towards me. I’m the oldest cousin in the family, so I was always in charge of taking care of my cousins when they were little. I’m a great caregiver because I like to ensure that everyone is safe.

Zulma was fantastic! She was punctual, attentive, and followed all instructions perfectly. She was amazing with our 4-month-old son and even engaged wonderfully with our 5-year-old daughter, who she wasn’t there to watch. Highly recommend her!

Hi my name is Aniko. I am from Hungary where I first started out working at the American Embassy as a nanny and baby sitter contributing to many families lives. I have lived in Los Angeles for over 20 years and worked with many high profile families in the film , music and fashion industry. As for me I am the silly friend kids need to have lots of fun and laughter with yet I am also the assertive teacher to discipline them for the creation of healthy boundaries. One of my favourite part of being with kids is reading stories to them in such ways that evokes and stimulates their creative imagination. I also like to take them for those nice walks in the park greeting and recognizing animals and plants. Through these experiences they are able to learn the cycles of nature and understand the inevitable laws of life. I am also good at keeping them engaged with age and developmentally appropriate activities. Keeping their area organized and tidy besides preparing healthy snacks and meals if applicable. I have excellent references from parents and hand written letters from children as well. I have college educational background from Hungary and decades of experience besides the willingness to contribute positively to the children's as well as the parents' lives so we can all feel good working together as a team.

Aniko is great! We found her at the very last minute after being flaked on by another sitter. She was on time. She took her time with our son to be comfortable with her and was very attentive to him. She also made sure he did allot of activities and even taught him to clean up his toys after. We'll be calling her again!
