Ellen $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ellen and I would love to offer my services as a patient and nurturing caregiver. I like to think I am attentive, organized, and prioritize the safety of kids always! I can help with homework, engage kids in fun activities, prepare meals, manage bedtime routines, and keep the home clean. I love dogs and cats and am happy to assist with pretty much any household task! Families have described me as dependable, warm, and trustworthy. I truly enjoy building positive relationships with children while providing a structured, caring environment where they feel safe and supported. I’ve worked as a paraeducator in special education classrooms and am currently in the process of becoming an RBT (registered behavior technician). For families looking for household care rather than child care: I'd say I am super detail-oriented when it comes to cleaning. As long as I have the right supplies, I'll do a thorough job for your home! I can also cook most anything with a recipe to follow. On a whim though, I can make simple meals like fried rice, sandwiches, breakfast platter, and more!

Hello, my name is Patrick. Youngest of 6 children, raised Catholic, Jesuit educated, and a college graduate with a BFA in Acting. My childcare experience is listed below: - 6 months nannying for my two of my nephews (ages 1 and 3), as well as my 5 yo niece when needed - 6+ years of experience as a children’s birthday entertainer with Enchanted Characters and Creative Parties for Kids - 6 months as a Behavioral Therapist in Colorado with an early intervention program for children ages 3-6 - 6 months as a Swim Instructor with Waterworks, also taught adults I have lots experience with a wide variety of families and cultures, and I love all pets - especially big dogs! I am a kind, fun, patient person available to any local families for on-call services and potentially consistent scheduling. I don’t have a car at the moment but I can reliably commute to any neighboring cities with my e-bike. I work a couple days a week at the EDITION hotel as a Bellman, looking to fill out the rest of my schedule. Also available for overnights and pet/home care!

Booked by 1 family in Valley Village, CA

I’ve been caring for children, homes, and families for over 15 years. I started babysitting at age 15 and have continued working with kids of all ages ever since. Now at 30, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, experience, and maturity to every family I work with. I graduated from Brown University, where I was a Division I lacrosse player and captain of the team my senior year. That experience shaped my leadership, discipline, and ability to stay calm and organized in fast-paced environments—qualities I bring into caregiving every day. Professionally, I’m a business owner, which speaks to my reliability, time management, and strong communication skills. Families trust me not only with their children, but also with their homes. I’ve frequently been hired to house sit while families travel, managing everything from daily upkeep to pet care and ensuring everything runs smoothly while they’re away. I have extensive experience tutoring middle and high school students, so I’m very comfortable helping with homework, keeping kids engaged, and supporting their academic growth. I also regularly care for my nephew, which has deepened my ability to connect with children in a patient, attentive, and genuinely caring way. Overall, I’m known for being dependable, trustworthy, and easy to work with. I bring a positive, grounded energy and take pride in creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for both kids and families.

“Rosie was an excellent babysitter, I knew my baby was safe and so happy under her care and my dog absolutely loved her!”

Lainey $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi there. My name is Lainey! I have 5 years of nannying experience and 8 years of babysitting experience. I have worked with children of all ages, and have been told that I am a great tutor for elementary and middle school aged children. My longest term nannying job was for a family with an ADHD child, so I also have experience with children who need extra attention. I recently left my corporate job to pursue work I’m passionate about, and that has led me back to childcare! Overall, I am a curious, compassionate, sometimes-funny person who enjoys working hard and finding joy everywhere I can. During two days of my week I am in class, but I have open availability in the mornings and most afternoons :) I have a license, a reliable car, zero speeding tickets, basic first aid knowledge, and solid cooking skills. Please reach out to me with any additional questions or requests for references! :)
