$24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Canoga Park, CA

I am a youthful and active mature woman with very open availability and flexible schedule. I am dependable and have my own transportation. I gave birth to and raised four children of our own; happy marriage for 30 years; have done child care and have been trained in first aid and CPR. I have taught elementary children for 20 years. I’m very loving and nurturing. I love to play and read with children. I am qualified to assist with online school and enjoy doing fun projects like arts and crafts, singing and exercise. I also am experienced in the care of infants including feeding, bathing, changing diapers and comforting.

“Stephanie is so wonderful to have looking after our little one whilst we work. Our daughter warmed to her instantly and looks forward to her coming back to play. We couldn’t be happier that we found Stephanie and believe any family would be lucky to have her. ”

Hi I am Shelly! I am 19 years old. I have experience with kids ages 5-12. I was a camp counselor for 3 years. I am able to cook and clean. I am also able to drive the kids to wherever they need to go. I grew up babysitting my younger cousins which grew my love for taking care of kids!

Xenia $22 per hour for 1 child

My name is Xenia. I believe in catering to a child's emotional and intellectual needs. I believe in explaining the reason for things versus telling a child "No". Instead, I will tell a child, "That's not something we put in our mouth because it's not food. We only put food and medicine in our mouth." In that way, the child is able to make the connection in its brain in a healthy and productive manner instead of bringing fear and rejection to the child. I love cats and dogs. I am open to babysit children, your fur babies, and perform light domestic work.

Genessis $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Genessis, Genny for short! I speak English and Spanish. I can help with homework for kids, I have been told I would make a great teacher although that is not what I am currently perusing as a career. I have no problem babysitting teens. I grew up as the oldest of 6 so I was constantly babysitting for my parents. I dont have too much experience with infants but I am confident in my ability to babysit them as well as toddlers to teens even older teens too. I have been told by my family and friends and my own siblings that I have a lot of patience. I like kids and I like taking care of them and from my experience kids tend to gravitate towards me. I am never opposed to playing games with or talking about the little things that they are into, I love all kinds of kid movies and shows, and I am very much used to hearing the same show or song or movie on repeat so can be very enjoyable and fun to be around for the little ones. I also have experience taking care of pets, specifically dogs and cats. Although I do not mind learning about how to take care of other pets as well, I love most animals and I am not afraid of most animals or insects either. I am currently attending college so my schedule is a little bit weird. Saturdays and Sundays I am available all day of course. Mondays and Wednesdays, I would be available from around 2pm to 11pm. Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays I will not be available until around 6pm to 11pm. I will be commuting to and from on the bus, I will always do my very best to be as early as possible to avoid being late. Of course there will sometimes be delays with the bus and all. If that occurs I will absolutely taking initiative to stay in contact if it does come down to that to let you know about my eta even if I am not late I would too. Depending on the day and time I will be sitting for you I might have to also do my own homework and assignments, it will not affect my ability to be sitting for you because that is my own responsibility just as babysitting for you will be my responsibility. However, I would just like you to keep in mind that you may find me bringing my laptop to complete my schoolwork especially since I do have online classes that require only fully online class work. I am happy to help out, clean, cook (although I only know a few dishes), and simply take care of the kiddos or pets and I cant wait to start babysitting and/or petsitting! :)

Devon $27 per hour for 1 child

I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to hang out with your kiddos for occasional nights out, adult weekends away, or busy days to get errands done. I spent almost 5 years teaching toddlers and preschoolers, ages 18-months to five-years-old, before becoming a full-time nanny for a four-month-old and a five-year-old. When the infant was old enough to attend school, I stepped into an assistant director role at a preschool in my hometown, which is my current full time position. I am CPR and first aid trained, mandated reporter certified, and I obtained a teaching certificate along with 30 child development units, and a degree in social and behavioral sciences. Early childhood education is my passion and I would love the opportunity to help your young ones on their social and emotional development and academic growth!

"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!"
