$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 38-year-old mom, married with a wonderful 2-year-old and a love for dogs. Before becoming a parent, I worked as a geologist, but I stepped away from my career to care for my son, who was born prematurely and has complex medical needs. Because of this journey, I have extensive hands-on experience with medically complex children, including caring for GTubes, ostomy bags, central lines, TPN, and working closely with home health nurses. I understand firsthand how hard it can be to leave your child in someone else’s care, especially when they have extra needs, and it’s important to me to offer families the same understanding and support I once needed myself. I am patient, intuitive, and comfortable caring for children with developmental delays, including challenges with speech, fine motor, and gross motor skills. I’m also available to care for children without special needs, and I bring the same calm and nurturing approach to every child I work with. I am currently available during weekdays (after 9 AM) while my son is at school, as well as on weekend evenings. If you’re looking for a caregiver who is dependable, compassionate, and experienced with a wide range of needs, I’d love to connect and learn more about your family. Please send me a text message if you would like to connect! [removed]

$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kira, and I am a 19-year-old Global Jazz Studies major at UCLA. I have had plenty of experience in childcare, working at my mother's daycare as an assistant and babysitting with her on multiple occasions. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers, but am more than happy to work with school-age kids as well! I am also happy to cook, clean, and help with homework or help around the house if needed. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I love working with kids and am very flexible. I am here to accommodate your needs and provide the best care I can! In terms of pet-sitting, I have pet-sitted both dogs and cats and am happy to offer walking, feeding, playing, etc. I am comfortable with both small and large breeds and different personalities. I love animals and used to have a toy poodle of my own!

Booked by 1 family in Topanga, CA

I have years of experience babysitting kids, from babies through 12 years old, and I raised two puppies until their old age, so I’m comfortable with dogs. I feel my greatest strengths are love for children, being trustworthy, reliable, and safety-minded, which includes CPR training. I can also do overnight babysitting or housesitting.
