Courtney Los Angeles
$24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a strong background in childcare, newborn support, and family care. I spent 3 years working as a preschool teacher, where I developed a love for creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments for children to learn and grow. In addition to teaching, I have over 5 years of nanny experience working closely with multiple families and supporting children through different stages of development. I am also a trained birth and postpartum doula as well as a newborn care specialist, which has allowed me to support families during some of the most important and vulnerable moments of their lives. My approach is calm, patient, attentive, and family-centered, with a focus on providing both emotional and practical support. Beyond childcare, I previously worked as a certified nurse’s assistant in senior living and rehabilitation centers, where I gained valuable hands-on caregiving experience and strengthened my ability to provide compassionate care to individuals of all ages. Outside of work, I’m a fur mom to two cats and recently said goodbye to my sweet senior dog who passed from old age.

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Xitlali, and I’m a current student at USC studying neuroscience. I’ve always enjoyed working with children and hope to continue working with kids in my future career. I have experience caring for children ages 3–9 through both babysitting and tutoring. I’m patient, attentive, and love creating a fun and comfortable environment where kids can learn, play, and be themselves. Outside of school and babysitting, I enjoy knitting, crocheting, cooking, and reading. I also absolutely love animals and would be happy to help care for pets as part of my time with your family! I’m excited to provide dependable, caring support for your little ones. :)

Presley Los Angeles
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Presley and I am a recent UCLA graduate! I am happy to offer services in child care, pet care, and household care. Although I had no choice, I have been a babysitter since the age of 3, when my parents brought my little brother home from the hospital. In the twenty years since, I have babysat for children between the ages of 4 and 11. As a high schooler, I tutored neighborhood kids in math and literature. I am confident that I can sufficiently assist in math homework through Algebra II. Beyond the scope of caring for human children, I have grown up with both dogs and cats and volunteered at the local Animal Shelter. I am more than happy to clean up after dogs or cats, take dogs for walks, and give them lots of love. I am extremely tidy, organized, and willing to do any chores around the house. Moreover, I can run errands and transport children or pets via car. As a whole, I consider myself to be a warm, enthusiastic, and committed person who gets along swimmingly with any living being, child, adult, or pet :)
