Elisabeth $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lizzy and I'm offering my services as a creative and arts-focused babysitter. I grew up in an artist family and have a lot of experience with exploring all the arts. I have a knack for inspiring kids to get drawing, painting, singing, sculpture, dancing, and playing. I was raised biculutrally French and American and I can easily adapt to international families. I speak fluent French and I have a B1.3 level in Spanish. I can also speak conversational German. I’ve lived in Germany and France as well, and spent some time in Italy, Mexico, and Portugal. I'm allergic to cats and dogs unfortunately, but can be around hypoallergenic dogs without problems. I'm a tidy person, and good at organising! I can help tidy and organise your house, do shopping, etc. Thank you and hope to hear from you!

Xitlali $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Xitlali, and I’m a current student at USC studying neuroscience. I’ve always enjoyed working with children and hope to continue working with kids in my future career. I have experience caring for children ages 3–9 through both babysitting and tutoring. I’m patient, attentive, and love creating a fun and comfortable environment where kids can learn, play, and be themselves. Outside of school and babysitting, I enjoy knitting, crocheting, cooking, and reading. I also absolutely love animals and would be happy to help care for pets as part of my time with your family! I’m excited to provide dependable, caring support for your little ones. :)

Carolyn $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Carolyn, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping families feel supported. As a responsible, caring, and organized professional, I bring patience, reliability, and a positive attitude to every family I work with. I love engaging kids through reading, arts and crafts, games, outdoor activities, and creative play. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident knowing their little ones are in good hands. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether you need occasional date-night coverage, after-school care, help with homework, or an extra set of hands around the house, I'm here to help!

Misty $35 per hour for 1 child

* I have many excellent local referral/recommendations that I’m happy to send you with phone numbers, etc. (not through this platform, so cannot add) I've raised 4 children, three girls and one boy. I have 4 "favorites". I home educated my older two through graduation. It was an awesome experience. I enjoy children of all ages and consider caring for them to be a blessing and high calling. I'm easy-going, smart, kind, intuitive and full of initiative. The glass is half full to me and gratitude is a daily priority. I enjoy making the most of each moment. I enjoy thrifting, estate sales, reading, exploring and being near the water. I was raised in the Midwest, happily lived in Austin for 15 years and newly arrived in Echo Park. Empty nest, new adventure! I have excellent references for childcare, elder care, personal assistant, clear recent background check, excellent driving record. * Especially interested in: one time jobs, recurring jobs with minimal hours per week, travel jobs-domestic or international of two weeks or less

Christina $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi I am a mother of three amazing adult kids. My oldest (27) is a college graduate working as a Computer Engineer. My middle child is a Biology graduate from University of San Francisco and last but not least my youngest daughter (19) is in the arts and loves all things music. A side from my love of being a mom, I'm passionate about health and fitness. Now that my kids are independent, I would love to be a part of your kids growth and have tons of fun while doing so! I'm always open to starting with a call to see if we are a good fit for each other.

"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!"
