Amairani $25 per hour for 1 child

I have nearly three years of babysitting experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. (Im currently working in Hospitality in Marina Del Rey as Front desk) I’m a patient, dependable, and caring person who truly enjoys spending time with kids and supporting their growth in a safe and nurturing environment. I’m knowledgeable about basic child safety practices and CPR/first aid awareness, and I always prioritize children’s well-being and comfort. I keep kids engaged with creative play, reading, outdoor time (if parents allow it) , and simple learning activities. Happy to help with simple meal prep for children, homework support, and light tidying related to the kids. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and believe communication with parents is very important. I make sure families feel comfortable and confident knowing their children are being cared for. Happy to work with you.

Nia $50 per hour for 1 child

My full birth name is Nia Jade Colbert, but no one calls me Nia—please call me Jade. As an Executive Assistant, it has been a joy and privilege to support, teach, guide, and provide a sense of protection and stability for my executives’ children. Over the years, I’ve managed households, offices, automobiles, travel logistics, and business operations, but nothing has been more fulfilling than being entrusted with helping oversee the well-being of their children and pets. My approach is simple: I see myself as my executives’ children’s Executive Assistant as well. After all, they are the future leaders of our country. I strive to foster creativity, service, support, safety, health, and love while encouraging them to grow into the people they are meant to become. I am a Christian and a Republican, and I respect every person’s God-given free will to seek their own faith and path. I believe in leading by example, treating others with kindness, respect, and integrity. I’m probably transparent to a fault. I live a very structured life, and I find fulfillment in meeting new people, building meaningful connections, and embracing experiences that challenge me to grow. I already have a very reputable top-tier job in finance during the work week and hoping to save money faster to purchase a home to take care of my family. I am also a proud mother of a 22-year-old son with special needs. God bless everyone. 💛🌅🇺🇸

Lay $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi!Hi! My name is Layyy. If given the opportunity, I’d be thrilled to care for your little one. I’m going into my third year of college as a music major with over several years in the field of youth work and child development– as I am a community organizer, facilitator, and oldest child of five lol.I love creating a safe and joyful place where little ones can explore, learn and just be themselves. With my love for music and art I'd be thrilled to bring lots of creative and playful energy. Singing, dancing, mini jam sessions, museum trips lol, you name it. On top of all of that, I'd say I'm a very reliable and thoughtful person. I am passionate about working with youth and the field of childcare because I believe every child's unique spirit deserves to be celebrated- including yours. Hope to hear from you soon!
