Lainey $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi there. My name is Lainey! I have 5 years of nannying experience and 8 years of babysitting experience. I have worked with children of all ages, and have been told that I am a great tutor for elementary and middle school aged children. My longest term nannying job was for a family with an ADHD child, so I also have experience with children who need extra attention. I recently left my corporate job to pursue work I’m passionate about, and that has led me back to childcare! Overall, I am a curious, compassionate, sometimes-funny person who enjoys working hard and finding joy everywhere I can. During two days of my week I am in class, but I have open availability in the mornings and most afternoons :) I have a license, a reliable car, zero speeding tickets, basic first aid knowledge, and solid cooking skills. Please reach out to me with any additional questions or requests for references! :)

Nicole $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nicole, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable college student based in the La Crescenta area. I genuinely enjoy working with kids, helping families, and creating a safe and positive environment. I’m patient, energetic, organized, and easy to communicate with, and I always try to make sure both parents and children feel comfortable and supported. Services I offer include babysitting, nannying, pet care, homework help, light housekeeping, organizing, errands, and helping around the house as needed. Child Care: I have experience caring for children of different ages and personalities, and I enjoy building fun, trusting relationships with kids while still keeping structure and safety a priority. I love doing activities like crafts, games, outdoor play, movie nights, baking, reading, and helping with homework or school projects. I’m also happy to help with routines like meals, bedtime, and keeping kids entertained in a positive way. Some of my strengths include being very patient, emotionally understanding, creative, and attentive. I can also help with tutoring/homework, basic cooking and snacks, and keeping things organized and clean while babysitting. Pet Care: I’m comfortable around a variety of pets and have experience helping care for dogs, cats, and other household pets. I can help with walking, feeding, playing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also comfortable with larger dogs and pets that shed. Household Services: In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping tasks such as laundry, tidying up, dishes, organizing, meal prep, errands, and helping keep the home running smoothly. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always willing to help where needed. I’m looking forward to connecting with families and helping out however I can!

"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!"
