Find a babysitter in Valley Glen, CA

I’m a loving, dependable, and very experienced caregiver with a lifelong connection to children. I’m a mother of four grown children, so I understand firsthand the joys and responsibilities that come with caring for children at every stage. Earlier in my life, I owned and operated a daycare while raising my own children, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for multiple children and managing all the day-to-day needs that come with childcare. Since then, I’ve built a career in real estate, appraisals, general contracting, and home renovations, and I continue to enjoy babysitting and caring for children. I currently babysit toddlers, young children, and school-age children. I’m comfortable with different ages, personalities, routines, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and enjoy keeping children engaged with age-appropriate activities while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. After many years of raising children, running a daycare, and working professionally, I bring a great deal of experience, common sense, and reliability to every family I work with. I truly enjoy spending time with children and would love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust.

**A Little About Me** I have experience working with children in a variety of settings, including tennis lessons, daycare, nannying, and summer camps. I've had the opportunity to work with children of all ages, from as young as one year old through their teenage years (14). One of my favorite things about working with kids is that every day is a new adventure! I love their creativity, imagination, curiosity, and the fun that comes with getting to see the world through their eyes. I enjoy finding ways to keep kids engaged, active, and entertained while creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for them to grow and learn. **Pets** I absolutely love animals! I have a Shih Tzu of my own who is truly my whole world, so I'm very comfortable around pets of all kinds. I'm more than happy to help with whatever your family may need, whether that's feeding, walking, letting pets out, or simply giving them some extra love and attention while I'm there. **Household Help** I'm also happy to help beyond childcare! In previous nannying positions, I've helped with errands and household tasks to give parents a little extra time to spend with their children when they get home. Whether it's tidying up, laundry, grocery runs, meal prep, or other odds and ends, I'm very open to helping wherever I can make life a little easier for your family. Overall, I love being someone families can count on, and I'm always happy to jump in wherever an extra set of hands is needed! I do have a full time job, so I am mainly looking for part time evening or weekend roles.

Hello I’m Zoie!! I really started working with kids when I was 14 years old. In my hometown, Clovis, CA, I was tutoring a couple kids, around age 10, with math and reading. When I was 16 I started a consistent nanny position with an 8 month old and a two year old. I would get there at 7am and get them up, dressed, and ready for the day. Throughout the day I was responsible for all meals and naps. When the kids were sleeping I’d do dishes for the family or tidy up common spaces. There was also a 5 year old that would join us when he didn’t have other activities scheduled. At this time I was also doing occasional babysitting jobs with kids from ages 3-9. I’ve enjoyed taking kids to the park for a change of scenery, or finding new ways to explore at home. I have always been theatrical which tends to be received well with kids and is a lot of fun for us both! I enjoy coloring and reading and all kinds of pretend play. I love having the kids involved with meal prep whenever possible, even if it’s just watching me and asking questions! One of my strongest qualities is patience, I have no problem answering a “why?” or “what is that?” 100 times a day! I see every moment as an opportunity to teach kids how to navigate the world with kindness and respect. I’m very excited to get involved with child care again here in LA!
