Booked by 6 families in Inglewood, CA

Hello there, my name is Minami! I recently began working as a L&D nurse. I graduated from UCLA with a MSN in Nursing, and is offering childcare and household services during sole of my off days. In the past I was a home health caregiver, and is certified in CPR, BLS, ACLS, NRP, and first aid. I have also been a private tutor for over 3 years (K-6th), so I will gladly help your kids with homework! In both experiences combined, my responsibilities included driving to/from school, walking family dog(s), tutoring, cooking, and assisting with chores. Additionally, I am a crafty, DIY-oriented person who love to create fun activities if that is something your child(ren) would be interested in. In terms of childcare, I have experience taking care of my younger sibling, cousins, family friends, and the kids I've tutored. My schedule is rather flexible outside of classes so reach out if my given availability does not work out! I love to clean around the house to destress, and try new recipes when cooking!

Booked by 2 families in Inglewood, CA

Hi! I'm Kate, and I can help with a lot of things! In my work as a caregiver, educator, and developmental interventionist, I am deeply committed to helping children understand that they matter. In 2018 I earned a master’s degree in School Counseling which gave me in-depth training in child development, social-emotional learning, and behavioral support. After working for years in public schools in various advising/interventionist roles, I decided to apply my knowledge and skills in more flexible, hands-on settings — working directly with children and families in their homes. I encourage curiosity, creativity, and fun in my work with kids. My classroom experience has given me a lot of tools such as ways to make routines fun, communicating rules and expectations, using positive reinforcement, and tons of arts and crafts ideas. Through patient guidance and empathy, I help children build their communication skills and practice emotional regulation so they can thrive socially and academically. Each child is unique, and each one deserves to feel confident in their ability to learn and grow in their own way- I can help them with that! My ultimate goal is to be a positive and empathetic presence in your home. How can I help?

“Kate is very creative and patient. Our girls love her!”

Booked by 2 families in Inglewood, CA

Hi, my name is Cynthia! I have been working with children for about proximately the last 5 years. I started by watching my nieces and nephews before taking care of my friends kids. I usually babysit children at ages 1-8 but I am willing to babysit kids a little bit older. While I do not own a car, or know how to drive one, but I do have my own means of transportation to arrive on time. I can even do light housework and do not mind animals being around.

“Cynthia has been amazing prompt and very helpful with my little one and our household. She pays attention always on time and my daughter enjoys time with her. ”

"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!"
