Booked by 6 families in Glendale, CA

Hi! My name is Jill and I recently graduated from university. I have 14 years of experience babysitting relatives and 6 years of professional experience. I worked exclusively with 1 family and their two kids during COVID. Once children were allowed back for in person school, I worked with three families (2-3 kids each) for a year, coordinating caretaking for the days that they all needed. Since then, I have babysat for many more families part-time and for one-off jobs because I enjoy the infectious energy and wonder that comes with working with children. My responsibilities have included making meals and snacks, pickup and dropoff (both walking and driving), homework help, playing at the park, exercise, bath time, bedtime routine, and more. I love helping kids grow and learn about themselves and the world around them. Some activities I enjoy doing with kids include arts n crafts, baking, cooking, painting, hiking, stretching and reading. I am here to make sure your kids have a fantastic school year! If you have any questions or concerns or would just like to further discuss about my relevant experience and references, send a message and I will gladly respond as soon as possible. Thank you!

Jill was really great our boys loved her and had lots of fun!

Hey Families! Are you in need of a nurturing, fun and loving caregiver? Look no more! My name is Marisol, a 29 year old nature, sports, arts & crafts, and plant enthusiast who is the oldest of 20 grandchildren. Being the oldest of 20 grandchildren, has not only allowed me to have a love for caring for children but has allowed me to understand the importance in having a memorable time as a child, unconditionally cared for, and guided to becoming their most loved self. I have assisted with four different families for one to three years each as well. I am looking for the opportunity to help a new set of parents with the care of their children. Date nights, daily help or emergencies, do not hesitate to reach out! If you have any pets that’s no problem! I am a mama bear of a few pets myself and at the end of the day they are apart of the family! Looking forward to chatting soon about any potential arrangements!

With over 16 years of childcare experience, I bring a wealth of expertise to every family I work with. As a dedicated nanny for multiple years, I've had the pleasure of nurturing children from various backgrounds and ages, fostering their growth and development in safe and loving environments. My experience extends to providing overnight care, ensuring both the children and parents feel confident and secure. Beyond traditional childcare roles, I've spent 5 years as a children's party entertainer, embodying multiple well-known princesses, superheroes, and other characters. This experience has equipped me with creative and engaging activities to spark joy and imagination in every child. Additionally, I am a passionate private lessons teacher for voice and piano, having taught numerous children and witnessing their musical talents blossom. My background as a summer camp counselor and tutoring experience further enriches my ability to connect with and inspire young minds. I excel at engaging children through crafts, imagination play, and music, while also offering homework help to support their academic journey. I also have experience with a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and more. I am committed to providing exceptional care and support to your family, creating meaningful and memorable experiences for your children.
