Hi! My name is Megan, and I am currently looking for occasional/ part time babysitting or petsitting jobs while I take some gap years before graduate school. I've been babysitting for about 10 years now, but as the oldest sister I've been helping out with my siblings since I was young. I graduated from UCLA in 2023 with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Anthropology. I enjoy learning about health and medicine in the contexts of development and society. Some of my hobbies include drawing, yoga, and eating good food :) I’ve worked with children of different ages, ranging from babies to teenagers, though I have the most experience with babies and kids ages 2 - 5. I find caregiving to be a fun and rewarding job. While kids learn a lot from us, I find that we learn a lot from them as well. I value patience and respect, and these are qualities I show to the kids I work with. I look forward to working with you!
Hi! My name is Andrea & I’m presently looking to work with new families. I provided care for 2 children consistently for 6 years however, those children are now in full time school so I’m caring for them just occasionally for parents’ date night. I also enjoy providing senior care, as I took care of 3 grandparents in their golden years. I am full of patience & kindness for the little ones & am creative & imaginative. I have energy & endurance for newborns up to teenagers. I have a good understanding of social & emotional needs of both children & seniors. I really love working in environments that require organizational skills as i’m detail oriented. I am highly adaptable to most situations & cool under pressure which i think is a must when caring for little ones & elders. I have no problem with homework guidance. I like meal planning & prepping - love feeding people a healthy but delicious meal. If you’re looking for a highly experienced nanny please reach out. I have 3 adult children so newborns are one of my favorite ages to be with. I love children & connect & bond with them easily. Little ones & our seniors need expert care & i enjoy providing that to families. Thank you.
“Andrea is wonderful - she is highly recommended from long term families she has helped. We are lucky to have her !”
Hello, my name is Triza. I am interested in offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and have been watching newborns,infants, toddlers and kids including my three grandkids. I have been a caretaker for my own mom so I am comfortable with senior care I enjoy cooking and would be a good match for families interested in trying African (specifically Kenyan) cuisine. I also enjoy cleaning and I am an avid vegetable gardener. I love pets and I have worked with families who have pets.
“Teresiah is super sweet 🥰 she has a calm and peaceful energy. My 6 month old daughter was well taken care of and has a great time ”
Hi I’m Jayla and I’m looking to help families out with watching their kids and or pets. I have two younger brothers that I still take care of— same with 3 of my grandmas dogs since two of them were mine as well. I’d like to use my ability to help others since I do have the experience. I currently have a lot of free time since I’m a part time college student so I want to use that time to put it towards providing care and fun. I’m reliable, responsible, patient, and I’d love to be apart of children’s and pet’s happiness since that also makes me happy.
I'm a 27 year old nanny who speaks both Spanish and English fluently. My personality is cheerful, honest, and caring, which is why I love working with kids. It's such a rewarding job to see their personalities develop over time. I believe that education is crucial at a young age, so I strive to provide a strong foundation for them to learn and grow. I started working with kids when I was 14 years old, caring for multiple children through my parents' church. I planned activities and lectures for a group of about 8 kids, and I enjoyed every second of it. That experience led me to pursue this career. One thing you should know about me is that I'm flexible and understanding. If there's something I do that you don't agree with, I'm quick to adjust and make sure everything goes smoothly. I don't want to take over; I want to work alongside you as the parent and follow your parenting style. I'm also available on short notice, so you can count on me to be there when you need me.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
