Hi! My name is Nataliia. I’m a caring, reliable, and energetic babysitter with experience working with children of all ages, including kids with special needs (global developmental delay, Down syndrome, autism, and behavioral challenges). I have a strong background in early childhood care, safety routines, and creating a calm, structured environment. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on each child’s individual needs. I can support communication, sensory regulation, and daily routines, and I’m comfortable managing unexpected situations. I’m available for one-time babysitting, evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings. Looking forward to helping your family feel supported and safe!

Kate West Hollywood
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kate, and I’d love to support your family with reliable, attentive, and engaging part-time childcare, including evenings and weekends. I currently work full-time at a family law center and truly enjoy working with children and families. I’m a Colgate University graduate and an incoming student at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. I have extensive tutoring and babysitting experience, along with a lifetime of hands-on childcare from growing up with three younger siblings. I am also lifeguard certified and have previous experience as a swimming instructor. I’m responsible, patient, and organized, and I prioritize creating a safe, positive environment, whether that means helping with homework, doing crafts, playing outdoors, reading together, or supporting bedtime routines. I also bring strong academic support experience, including homework help, organization, and study skills. I specialize in standardized test preparation and college readiness (177 LSAT, 34 ACT), but always tailor my approach to each child’s age and learning style. Families describe me as dependable, communicative, and calm under pressure. I’m happy to assist with light tidying, simple meal prep, and maintaining household routines. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Danielle Los Angeles
$19 per hour for 1 child

I am your sitter for Date Night, Couples Night, Party Night, or some ME time. I am a grandmother of six. Four currently live with me and I enjoy watching and playing with them. My mom use to own a daycare and I would help her with the children. People have always told me I was good with children. I understand wanting to go out and not have a babysitter. I’m your girl. Call me, I’ll come and watch the kids while you have a good time and your children will be safe when you come back.
