Booked by 3 families in Castaic, CA

Hi! My name is Serena and I'm a recent grad from San Francisco State University. I majored in Child & Adolescent Development with a concentration in School Age Child & Family. During college I was an afterschool nanny for 4 years for the same family, providing transportation to activities, helping with homework, performing light housekeeping, and preparing lunches for the next day. I also worked at the San Francisco Zoo as a camp instructor for three summers, working with children ages 4 to 10. I would describe my childcare philosophy as a strong emphasis on building trustful relationships, with lots of fun and laughing! I have my own car with a clean driving record, and I am also CPR/First Aid certified! Looking forward to meet you and your kids! :)

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Melba I am a mother of 2, I have worked with a families providing different services including child care of all ages and senior care. I like to build a strong relationship and connection to my clients I am very invested in providing the most genuine care. During childcare assistance I provide help with meals, bedtime routines, school pick ups, chores around the home and being actively involved with the child during playtime. During Senior care my priority is to provide comfort and safety. Helping with medications, meals, self safe (bathing etc.. ) as well as errands or anything else the client may need me to assist with. I have taken care of cats and dogs, one of my regular clients has 8 cats that I watch and care for while she is away from home. I also have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes with pets. I am comfortable doing feeding, walking, clean up and oral medication. I am a very patient, determined, committed, punctual, kind and understanding employee. I prioritize building a comfortable and happy work relationship and environment for all my clients.

Melba and her husband Jose have been working for us since 2015, cleaning first our condo and now our house. We trust them completely. When we leave town, we are comfortable leaving them our keys so they can look after and feed our cats. They are excellent pet-sitters, cats and dogs. When I leave town they aid my husband, who has Parkinson’s. They are responsible, hardworking, friendly, and reliable. I cannot stress enough how we appreciate their presence and the care and effort we receive from them.

$22 per hour for 1 child

Aside from having taken care of my four daughters and nieces over the years, I most recently helped my daughter adjust back to her work routine and cared for my granddaughter on a regular basis, both day and nights. I am great with children and see each as my own, and am open to rules set by the parents and abide by them. I have pets at home, so caring for pets is nothing new to me, as well as seniors. I also take care of all of our household chores, so that's also something I can do if requested.

Wonderful experience, she’s cared for my 15 month old and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s attentive, and my daughter adores her. My daughter is a picky eater, so its been tough, but her patience has been key. She’s helped with chores around the house too.

Thaliyah Van Nuys
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am Thaliyah! I hold a background in working with children, years of responsibility as the oldest sibling in my family, and hands-on experience caring for both homes and pets. As a professional dance instructor, I’ve worked closely with children ages 4 and up, helping them grow not only in their technique but also in confidence, creativity, and discipline. I provide genuine care, can cook meals, provide transportation services and maintain a kept household. In addition to my work with children, families often rely on me for extended stays, knowing their homes, routines, and furry family members will be treated with the same attention and love I’d give my own. Whether it’s keeping up with feeding schedules, administering light medication, or simply offering companionship, I take pride in creating a peaceful and safe environment while families are away. I would love the opportunity to speak further and learn more about how I can support your family’s needs. Thank you for your time and consideration—I look forward to connecting soon.
