Genesis $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Valencia, CA

I’m a responsible and caring college student currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Accounting. I have hands-on experience working with children through my church daycare, where I help create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I’ve also served as a youth leader, guiding and supporting kids of various ages. In addition, I am a caregiver for my special needs sister, which has strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to adapt to individual needs. I also have experience with pet sitting and am a pet owner myself, so I’m comfortable caring for furry family members as well. I am CPR certified, dependable, and attentive, and I’m committed to providing a safe, positive space—whether that means helping with homework, organizing engaging activities, or giving parents peace of mind.

Booked by 90 families in Valencia, CA

Hello! I’m Nico and I bring a warm, grounded presence alongside a genuine passion for child development. My background spans 10 years of childcare experience inclusive of nannying, arts education through dance, tutoring, coaching, and one-on-one mentorship — these experiences have sharpened my ability to meet children where they are, build trust, and help them grow in confidence, creativity, and character. I understand that every child is different and I readily adapt my methods to care for children holistically, understanding their unique personalities, pace, and needs. I am professional, discreet, and respectful in my approach — one that always seeks to honor your family's privacy and maintain a standard of excellence in relational rapport. I am organized and proactive by nature, comfortable managing daily schedules, coordinating activities, and communicating clearly with parents and any household staff. I am reliable, flexible, and take pride in my ability to be fully present. My arts and movement background is something I love weaving into everyday life with children — whether that's an impromptu dance session, a creative project, or simply bringing energy and joy to the ordinary moments of the day. I believe the best childcare isn't just supervision — it's thoughtful, attentive companionship that allows children to feel safe, seen, and supported. I would love the opportunity to connect with new families and learn more about their caregiver needs.

I was visiting LA with my 9 year old, and asked Nico to sit for the afternoon. I hadn’t used the service before but I needed a sitter at a specific time. I showed my daughter several videos, she chose Nico. My daughter had a great afternoon. It’s a small sample size but Nico comes across as very professional with a warm demeanor & seems to genuinely enjoy her work as a caregiver. 10/10 - if the need arises would absolutely book her again the next time we’re in LA.

Booked by 4 families in Valencia, CA

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!

Booked by 3 families in Valencia, 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!

Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and responsible babysitter with experience caring for children of all ages. I’m patient, creative, and love engaging kids through learning games, art, and outdoor play. Safety and communication are always my top priorities. I can also help with light housekeeping, pet care, or homework support. Families describe me as dependable, nurturing, and someone their kids feel comfortable with right away. I look forward to helping your family feel at ease knowing your little ones are in good hands!

Very attentive and professional. Great sitter, especially for children with special needs. Would definitely book again!
