Booked by 1 family in Sun Valley, CA

Hello- my name is Adriana. I absolutely adore children and love prioritizing educational and fun adventures! I have a background in babysitting and have a 15 year old daughter myself. I’m bilingual, love all things outdoorsy (so I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty), and I’m great with animals.

Adriana is fantastic. She did a phenomenal job watching my 4 year old Daughter. She was timely, professional, and very communicative. Highly recommend. Would hire again!

Booked by 3 families in Sun Valley, CA

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!

Hello, I'm Cami! I’m currently a fourth-year student at UCLA studying Linguistics. I’ve been working with kids since high school through babysitting and tutoring, and for the past three years I’ve also worked as a tennis coach for children. I love caregiving because I enjoy getting to know kids, supporting their interests, and creating a safe, fun environment for them. I am a bilingual Spanish speaker, intermediate in French and a beginner in Japanese and Korean. In my free time, I love doing puzzles, playing games, and spending time with my dog, Moe 🐶

Booked by 3 families in Sun Valley, CA

Hello! My name is Nia and I have 15 years babysitting newborns, infants and children. I have professional experience at a daycare for ages 1-4 as well as in my 6th year working through a private babysitting company. I also have experience coaching 6 year old basketball I am also comfortable watching and helping the elderly with basic tasks such as cooking, cleaning around the house and also just providing company. I can keep them quite entertained with my stories. I used to work at the local animal shelter and prior to that was a successful dog walker so I am very comfortable with all animals. I’m very energetic and nurturing so I do really well entertaining my 3 year old perfect nephew when I babysit him weekly.

Nia was great! She was very cool, down to earth, and our girls really liked her - we would totally have her back!
