Booked by 1 family in Granada Hills, CA

Hi! My name is Ivon and I'm a responsible, patient and creative babysitter/ nanny. I have 13 years experience in childcare ( babysitter, nanny and daycare volunteer) I enjoy planning fun, age- appropriate activities. I also have an interest in American Sign Language (ASL) and enjoy introducing basic signs in a playful, inclusive way. In my experience teaching ASL has helped me communicate with babies and toddlers and reduce tantrums. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment. I have been babysitting since 2008, for neighbors, family friends and family members. Throughout my High School and College education, I have been a babysitter/Nanny. My studies were on Behavioral Sciences, Arts and Humanities. Experience taking care of newborns between the ages of one week old and five months old. Experience tutoring children between 5 to 9 year olds. I have experience working/volunteering at Daycare for toddlers. I am comfortable with parents working from home. Most of my child care experience are with newborns, toddlers and preschool ages.

Hi there, I'm Alexis! I've cared for children in both home and camp/school settings for over 10 years. I'd love to meet your family! With experience as an art teacher, a volleyball coach, a babysitter, and a tutor, I have a wide range of experience working with kids! I'm excited to meet you!

“Alexis has been watching my 2 year old since he was around 6 months, and has been a staple for our family. She is responsive, reliable and always punctual. Alexis is so great with our son, and he really looks forward to their time together. Leaving him with her is never a concern, and something our whole family looks forward to. I cannot recommend Alexis highly enough.”

I was in Girl Scouts for all of my K-12 education, volunteered at a preschool, and also worked at a ballet studio for younger kids so I'm very comfortable working with children.

Hello! If you’re looking for someone who is fun, energetic, loves to laugh, and will make sure your child is cared for in a positive way-you’ve found the right sitter! I promise to make your child’s days filled with memories to cherish. I provide activities like board games, arts & crafts, story times, and more. I have 8+ years of experience, reliable safe transportation, and can promise you your child is in the best care when they are under my care as a sitter. Also very comfortable with pets, I have 3 cats of my own. I look forward to meeting your little!

“Courtney took care of my two children for two full weeks while I was away on vacation, and I genuinely cannot say enough good things about her. Leaving your kids for that long is never easy, but she made the entire experience completely stress-free. From day one, she was attentive, patient, and incredibly organized. She kept the kids on their routines, made sure they were engaged and happy, and handled everything with such calm confidence. I always felt informed and reassured, she communicated regularly, sent updates, and truly went above and beyond to make sure my kids felt safe, supported, and loved. When I came home, my children were not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and thriving. That says everything. Courtney is responsible, trustworthy, warm, and incredibly capable. Any family would be lucky to have her. I would 100% trust her again without hesitation, she is truly exceptional.”

"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!"
