Tatiana $21 per hour for 1 child

I have been caring for children since I was a teenager and now 36 years old. I have cared for children of all ages from newborn to teenagers. I have cared for children in different settings including at child's home, at my own home, daycare and home daycare. Kids love me, I love kids. I have a 9 year old girl of my own. I am capable of caring for the children's needs as well as their wants.

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!

Ryan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ryan Theresia, I’m a reliable and caring nanny with hands-on experience caring for a child from newborn through age 5. I’m comfortable with all stages of early childhood, including feeding, diapering, sleep routines, and engaging in age-appropriate activities that support development. I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing environment for children. References are available upon request.

Booked by 1 family in Castaic, CA

I have years of experience babysitting kids, from babies through 12 years old, and I raised two puppies until their old age, so I’m comfortable with dogs. I feel my greatest strengths are love for children, being trustworthy, reliable, and safety-minded, which includes CPR training. I can also do overnight babysitting or housesitting.

"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!"
