Melinda $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Hawthorne, CA

Safety is ALWAYS my first priority. My passion lies in providing dependable support to families and your loved ones. I've had the privilege of working with infants to seniors over the past years. I hold a college degree and maintain a current CPR/First Aid certification. Additionally, I am resourceful, creative and calm under pressure, with the ability to think on my feet when challenges arise. A good sense of humor is an approach I use to help navigate various situations with ease. I’m more than happy to help with light housekeeping, driving children to and from school, activities, etc. (I have a safe SUV that holds 2 car seats easily). I'm also very flexible with yours/my schedule. I work hard and always have a smile on my face 😊

Amrawit $20 per hour for 1 child

I have a bachelor’s degree in International Affairs, and I’ve been babysitting for the past 3 years. I currently babysit and have experience caring for children of different ages, and I really enjoy keeping them engaged through activities, walks, games, and just having fun together. I love caregiving because I genuinely enjoy being around kids and being someone they can feel comfortable and safe with. A little something about me: I’m a big soccer fan, love being outdoors, and I’m always up for a fun activity or adventure!

Hulya $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hulya, and I am a caring, responsible, and dependable person who enjoys spending time with children. I am a former dentist, which has given me strong skills in patience, communication, attention to detail, and maintaining a safe and healthy environment. Throughout my life, I have had experience caring for children, starting with my younger brother. I helped take care of him when he was a baby and continued to support and look after him as he grew older. This experience taught me the importance of responsibility, empathy, and creating a nurturing atmosphere. Since moving to the United States, I have also been doing occasional babysitting for families in my community. Through these experiences, I have cared for children of different ages, helping with playtime, meals, homework, bedtime routines, and ensuring they feel comfortable and secure while their parents are away. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to provide attentive, patient, and individualized care. My goal is to create a positive, safe, and engaging environment where children can have fun, learn, and feel supported. I would be honored to help your family and provide reliable childcare you can trust.

Rebecca $22 per hour for 1 child

Rebecca was raised in La Cañada Flintridge and has spent the last nineteen years supporting children’s health, development, and learning. Her childcare journey began at age twelve, when she started babysitting for families in her community—an experience that helped her build long-lasting, trusted relationships. She also provided low-cost tutoring to children who needed extra academic support, further strengthening her passion for individualized care. At seventeen, Rebecca began working at a local Montessori school with children ages 2–6, quickly growing into the role of Lead Teacher and managing her own classroom of toddlers and preschoolers. After five years, she opened her own Montessori program serving children from 6 months to 6 years old, giving her deep, hands-on experience with infant through early-childhood developmental stages. Rebecca attended UCLA, where she earned her Certificate in Early Childhood Education, and she is internationally recognized as a Montessori educator for ages 0–3 and 3–6 through the North American Montessori Center. She later graduated with honors from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education Administration. In addition to her broad teaching and caregiving experience, Rebecca has worked closely with children with both diagnosed and suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder. She specializes in recognizing early signs of cognitive, behavioral, and speech delays and collaborates with the Frank D. Lanterman Regional Center to help families access the services they need. Today, Rebecca brings her expertise, calm presence, and genuine love for children into the homes of families seeking a dependable, highly qualified babysitter. With strong communication skills, extensive developmental knowledge, and nearly two decades of childcare experience, she strives to create safe, nurturing, and engaging environments for every child in her care. **Willing to share my recent Yelp Reviews!**

"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!"
