Booked by 4 families in Glendale, CA

Hey there! My name is Olivia and I am a professional nanny and family assistant located in Los Angeles. I’ve been working as a nanny for about 10 years and have experience with children of all ages (infants, toddlers, elementary-school, middle-school). Over 5 years of those were working full-time for various high-profile families in San Francisco. Given my experience as a family assistant, I am eager to help out in any way your family needs—whether it is organizing, doing dishes, cooking meals, or doing laundry. I have my B.A. magna cum laude in English and Comparative Literature from UCLA and my MFA in Creative Writing from SJSU. Before my return to nannying, I worked as a 6th-12th grade English teacher in Palo Alto. That said, I can also offer basic tutoring or homework help for your child. I am happy to match your family’s style as needed. Generally, I use a RIE/respectful parenting approach when providing childcare (I have a RIE certification for nannying). I can provide household duties as needed (cleanup, laundry, errands, etc.) I also have a reliable car that I can use for childcare duties if need be. I am also a huge animal lover and open to pet care/pet sitting as needed! I look forward to meeting you!

“Fantastic and very professional. Highly recommend!”

Booked by 1 family in Glendale, CA

Hey there! My name is Gwendolyn, and I have over 15 years of babysitting experience. I have cared for children of all ages, including working as a summer nanny and supporting children on the spectrum. I especially enjoy working with creative and imaginative kids, and I love encouraging fun activities, crafts, and play. In addition to childcare, I regularly care for pets and have experience with senior dogs and cats, including administering medication. I am also available to assist as a household helper-whether that’s light cooking, cleaning, running errands, or helping with day-to-day tasks. And a bit about me: I love all things vintage fashion, Disney, and American Girl dolls. I’m really into history, storytelling, and creative hobbies, which is probably why I get along so well with imaginative kids. I’m friendly, reliable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know and build ongoing relationships with the families I work with.

“Gwen was so great. When I asked my 5 year old if he liked her he said “I love her” 🥰 Will definitely be hiring her again!”

Haily 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

I’m Haily, a 24 year old engineering student at USC! I am pursuing a dual degree in a Biomedical Engineering (B.S.) and Mechanical Engineering with an AI/ML specialization (M.S.) looking forward to finishing my collegiate career in December 2026. I am someone who loves fun activities like coloring, journaling, cooking, meditating and exploring nature. I have about 3 years of babysitting experience from babysitting my younger cousins in my hometown of Sacramento. I also have a younger sister who I love dearly that I grew up helping my mom taking care of! Additionally, I’ve tutoring 5th-8th grade students as a freelance tutor for the past 5 years, usually meeting these students in their home, building connections with parents, and helping them become more confident in all subjects, especially math! I’m the type of person that is intentional with everything I do and leads with a love ethic. I love working kids and am so excited to get started with babysitting here in Los Angeles.

“Haily is an exceptionally kind and patient person. She is dependable, professional and knows how to make anyone feel comfortable, even the shyest person. She is an amazing tutor and from what I know has a lot of experience tutoring kids of all ages. She prioritizes the needs of those around her and is always willing to help. I couldn’t recommend her more.”

Zoie $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello I’m Zoie!! I really started working with kids when I was 14 years old. In my hometown, Clovis, CA, I was tutoring a couple kids, around age 10, with math and reading. When I was 16 I started a consistent nanny position with an 8 month old and a two year old. I would get there at 7am and get them up, dressed, and ready for the day. Throughout the day I was responsible for all meals and naps. When the kids were sleeping I’d do dishes for the family or tidy up common spaces. There was also a 5 year old that would join us when he didn’t have other activities scheduled. At this time I was also doing occasional babysitting jobs with kids from ages 3-9. I’ve enjoyed taking kids to the park for a change of scenery, or finding new ways to explore at home. I have always been theatrical which tends to be received well with kids and is a lot of fun for us both! I enjoy coloring and reading and all kinds of pretend play. I love having the kids involved with meal prep whenever possible, even if it’s just watching me and asking questions! One of my strongest qualities is patience, I have no problem answering a “why?” or “what is that?” 100 times a day! I see every moment as an opportunity to teach kids how to navigate the world with kindness and respect. I’m very excited to get involved with child care again here in LA!

Alexa $25 per hour for 1 child

I come from a strong caregiving and service-oriented background, and I naturally step into nurturing, responsible roles. I have experience caring for children of various ages through babysitting and nannying for friends, family, and private households. This includes preparing meals, helping with homework, creating engaging activities, maintaining routines, and ensuring a safe, positive environment. In addition to childcare, I’ve also supported seniors by assisting with daily tasks, companionship, organization, errands, and light household duties. I understand the importance of patience, clear communication, and emotional awareness when caring for others, and I take pride in being dependable and attentive. I’m also a longtime pet owner and animal lover, with hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic care, maintaining cleanliness, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m calm, patient, observant, and highly responsible. I’m someone families trust quickly because I’m reliable, organized, and emotionally intuitive. I’m very attentive to routines, boundaries, and instructions, while still being warm, playful, and engaging. I’m great at reading a child’s needs whether they need structure, encouragement, or creative play and I adapt easily to different family dynamics. Beyond direct caregiving, I’m very comfortable with household services such as light cleaning, laundry, organizing, meal prep, errands, and maintaining an orderly home. I’m proactive and detail-oriented, so I don’t wait to be told what needs to be done I step in where help is needed. Overall, I bring a combination of trustworthiness, emotional intelligence, and genuine care. I treat every home and family with respect and always aim to make life easier, calmer, and more supported for both parents and children.

"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!"
