Bowen $22 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in caring for children and pets, and I genuinely enjoy helping families feel safe and supported. I’ve worked with kids of different ages, assisting with daily routines, playtime, homework, meals, and bedtime. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I always prioritize a child’s safety and well-being. I also have experience pet sitting for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, and providing plenty of affection and companionship. I understand how important it is to follow routines and respect each pet’s unique personality. I’m organized, reliable, and happy to help with light household tasks when needed. My goal is always to give families peace of mind knowing their kids and pets are in caring, capable hands.

Autumn 6 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Autumn and I've recently returned to my hometown of Los Angeles. I'm very excited to reconnect with my roots and plant myself into a new life here. Since I was a valley girl, I've been caring for others. Whether it was my younger siblings (I come from a family of 7 kids) or the sweet family of 6 down the street, I started babysitting at the responsible age of 11! I'm still in touch with this family, celebrating milestones together almost annually. Years later I chose to be an au-pair in Hamburg, Germany to an infant and her 3 year old sister Luisa who filled my days with curiosity and wonder. We had so much fun together playing dress up, exploring outdoors and reading and singing together. Not long after returning to the states, I lived with a professional family of Berkeley, nannying for their 2 daughters aged 7 and 9. With both families I tutored, cooked, played games, crafted, offered transportation, championed, provided recreational activities and sang lullabies. In-between these lines of work, I was also once a clown and balloon maker. ;) I have assisted elders with tender care, errands, out of state relocation and aquatic exercise! I recently became a lifeguard and certified swim instructor to adults and children between 9 months and 12 years old. It was so heartwarming to watch kids go from being afraid of water, to loving jumping in and splashing around. I am an extremely clean and organized person, a self-taught home chef, attended neurodivergent training and believe that human connection should always come first. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies which provided a strong block of courses in psychology, further educating me on people. I drive an all electric vehicle and have a clean driving history. I am the sole caretaker of 2 sweet cats but have also looked after friend's dogs in the past. As a child I had a pet mouse, snake, parakeet and hamster so I'm comfortable with all types! Being a caregiver requires sincere intuition and heart. One has to navigate personal needs while also being present of mind to consider safety, technicalities and timelines. I pay close attention to detail, am excellent at anticipating needs and am a certified masseuse. Collectively, I possess the personal qualities, the particular skillset and the creative talents to care for animals, homes and humans of all ages. Did I mention I'm a big fan of Bluey? Who isn't I guess. I look forward to connecting to see if we're a match!

“Autumn was a huge help to me when my two daughters were younger. She would stay with them for long weekends, so my husband and I could get away. She'd play games, do crafts, dance and sing with them. They had a blast with her. Now that they are older...22 and almost 20, Autumn has become an Auntie to them and I can honestly say that my girls are better for knowing her! They had a fun, caring example back then...and today a trusted friend and another knowledgeable adult to get additional life advice from. It's been said, that it takes a village, and I'm so glad I choose Autumn as one of my top members! Highly recommended as a close friend, village member and care giver of any kind!”
