Hello! My name is Christine and I am 25 years old. I am a registered nurse and I occasionally babysit.

I truly enjoy engaging with kids through outdoor activities, board games, puzzles, and educational play. I’m also happy to assist with homework and light meal preparation.

Michelle 1 review
Manhattan Beach
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have a lot of valuable experience, both with raising 3 children, teaching preschool, babysitting, and helping my 104 year old grandma with technology!

Michelle (or Mimi as my toddler calls her) is the best. She’s been watching my very active son once a week for over a year, and I cannot emphasize how helpful she is. She’s patient, she focuses all of her attention on him and she makes playing fun. My son is absolutely exhausted after Michelle’s visits. He wakes up some mornings asking to “play date with Mimi” or will sing songs that she has taught him. Now that I have an infant too, she watches both boys with ease. Caretaking is her speciality. She’s very gentle and kind. Michelle is punctual, respectful and dependable. Whenever she comes over, I know I don’t have to worry about anything, she’s got in under control. I can go to work or run errands without hesitation.

My background experience was supporting my daughter who graduated with a computer science degree. I supported her in many activities which included chess, tennis player, robotic competition, avid reader, golfing, running, swimming, singing, et al. My daughter was accepted to a prestigious high school in Los Angeles. I love children and seniors. I love and respect the wisdom of seniors. I enjoy the curiosity of a child and allowing them to explore their surroundings.

Erika Long Beach
$24 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Erika. I am a mother of three and an educator. I am a former Preschool teacher with 20+ years experience. I have worked with children as young as one, up to school age children. As an educator I believe young children learn positive behavior by watching and interacting with their caregivers every day. When caregivers model kindness, patience, and respect ,children begin to understand how to manage emotions, build healthy relationships, and make good choices.

Zoe Los Angeles
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Zoe, and I’m a college Junior. When I’m not in class, I work as a preschool teaching assistant near my home, with experience supporting kids ages 2 and up. I’m comfortable with diaper changes, potty training, and keeping little ones entertained and engaged. I also have plenty of experience with pets. I have a senior pup (11 years young) and grew up with a cat, so I’m familiar with caring for both cats and dogs. Additionally, I can cook, clean, and organize, and I have a valid driver’s license, making me a reliable and versatile caregiver.
