Booked by 1 family in South Pasadena, CA

I aim to bring a sense of calm to busy families and always look for ways to ease parents' mental load by helping around the house. I've cared for kids of all ages from infants to teenagers and love finding fun and creative ways to engage kids in imaginative play. Whether your kids love sports, science, art, music, or maybe a cool niche hobby I've never heard of, I'm ready to meet them where they're at offering my full presence and attention.

“Our daughter absolutely loves Kat!! We feel so grateful and lucky!!! Kat has such great energy and presence! She’s completely engaged with our daughter and a wonderful person too! Reliable, sweet and a natural with kids! We couldn’t ask for anything more in a babysitter!! Beyond happy and thank you sooo much!! ”

Jacqueline V 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jacqueline, but you can call me Jackie or Jax. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I consider it my backyard and love exploring its ever-changing face. I have been a mother's helper since I was 12, and at 16, I had the honor of babysitting and nannying alone. People may call me a people pleaser, but I truly enjoy being part of the village and helping people and animals, any which way. It has always been fulfilling to me. Life gets super busy, so an extra helping hand doesn't hurt anyone. I am currently at Santa Monica College pursuing a nursing degree. Thanks for taking the time to read about me, and I look forward to working with you.

“Jax has been an incredible person to have around my son. She has such positive energy and is so creative with activities. I would recommend her to any friend or stranger. She is always reliable and easy to communicate with. In addition, she is always great around our dog. My son has so much fun with her and she really encourages him to be independent and try things.”

Claire $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’ve been a nanny for many wonderful families for 8 years now. I have primarily worked with children under 5 but have experience with all ages. I’m extremely passionate about children learning through play and exploration with limited screen time. This can be anything from imagination games to more structured academic play. I have a degree in theater from the Liverpool Institute for performing arts where I learned a great appreciation for a nice walk doing wonders for the soul. I am currently with a family with two boys three days out of the week but hoping to fill in a few more hours. I am CPR certified with a clean driving record.
