$30 per hour for 1 child

I am an exhibition designer. During the week, I have a full time job. I have 1 -2 years of experience with kids while teaching art K-5. Care giving is one of the duties of teaching art to children so I would be more than happy to spend time with kids. I grew up with dogs, and have always had one except now. I can help you with your pets needs in your home like feeding them and spending time with them but wont stay overnight. I have experience with seniors, mainly family members that have experienced medical situations that require full time attention. I am not a nurse. I can assist with keeping company, and basic things but no cleaning up the person or moving them if immobilized. I have experienced terminally ill family members and can assist with basic care as well. I do not do any household services.

$28 per hour for 1 child

I am a 37 year old California native - born and raised in Orange County and Los Angeles. When I was 17, I joined a Peace Corps youth program, AmeriCorps Vista, where I traveled all over the world and cared for children in orphanages. I also grew up as a competitive athlete and later played collegiate volleyball. In 2011, I graduated with a Bachelor's in Communication Arts at the University of Cal State Fullerton. In the past 10 years, I have cared for a range of children from infant to 14 years old. I love children especially as my own maternal clock is ticking. I find great joy in being part of the family and village that it takes to raise and nurture a child. No parent should have to do it alone. Those who know me would say I am a child at heart with a playful spirit. Also, I am a represented actress and artist on canvas. I have long-term ambitions for my LLC to evolve into a children's art party provider. Retirement goals is to be a children's art therapist and I am currently studying for those credentials now. I have more than three family references. I am excited to meet your family!

Amanda Los Angeles
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Amanda and I am a longtime childcare provider with over 10 years of experience as a nanny and family assistant. I currently work as an Administrative Coordinator in Entertainment Law, but I’m looking to take on part-time nanny or babysitting work because supporting children and families is something I genuinely love and find deeply fulfilling. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from newborns to teens — and have built lasting, meaningful relationships with the families I’ve worked with. I take pride in being dependable, trustworthy, and fully present, always striving to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I'm comfortable with all kinds of nanny responsibilities including school drop-offs/pick-ups, making snacks/light cooking, help with homework/tutoring, light cleaning, arts and crafts, nap/bedtime routines, and more — whatever helps your child feel supported and your home run smoothly. Beyond childcare, I also have extensive experience managing busy households: running errands, grocery shopping, coordinating with vendors, handling pet care, managing inventory, and more. I’d love to support your family with kindness, experience, and care and hope to hear from you soon!
