Hi! My name is Nataliia. I’m a caring, reliable, and energetic babysitter with experience working with children of all ages, including kids with special needs (global developmental delay, Down syndrome, autism, and behavioral challenges). I have a strong background in early childhood care, safety routines, and creating a calm, structured environment. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on each child’s individual needs. I can support communication, sensory regulation, and daily routines, and I’m comfortable managing unexpected situations. I’m available for one-time babysitting, evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings. Looking forward to helping your family feel supported and safe!
I am an exhibition designer. During the week, I have a full time job. I have 1 -2 years of experience with kids while teaching art K-5. Care giving is one of the duties of teaching art to children so I would be more than happy to spend time with kids. I grew up with dogs, and have always had one except now. I can help you with your pets needs in your home like feeding them and spending time with them but wont stay overnight. I have experience with seniors, mainly family members that have experienced medical situations that require full time attention. I am not a nurse. I can assist with keeping company, and basic things but no cleaning up the person or moving them if immobilized. I have experienced terminally ill family members and can assist with basic care as well. I do not do any household services.
Hi! I am an LA transplant from the Washington, DC area. I have years of experience working with children of busy corporate and government employees during the summers when school is out. I'm a big kid myself--I love video games and outdoor activities! I am a former cheerleader and gymnast and love playing sports with little ones. One of my first jobs was at a sports complex where I taught children from 18 months-5 years old motor skills playing soccer! Working with children is a joy for me. I also have lots of experience with cats, bigger dogs, and turtles! (Fun fact: I grew up with a turtle that is now 25 years old) I am open to the opportunity to care for alternative pets as well.
I’m a responsible and caring person who loves working with children and helping families. While I’m new to babysitting, I have experience caring for younger siblings, helping around the house, and looking after pets, which taught me patience, responsibility, and attention to detail. I’m reliable, eager to learn, and happy to follow parents’ routines while keeping kids safe, happy, and engaged.
Hi there! I’m Rose and I’m currently a FT teacher. A little about me: I am a cat mom of 2 adorable babies, born and raised in Los Angeles. I am a fluent English & Korean speaker and conversational in Spanish. I’ve helped run our daycare business with my mother for the past 15+ years in the heart of LA. I completed my undergrad at Parsons in NYC. While studying, I had numerous babysitting/teaching gigs. I’ve taken ECE courses at UCLA extension. I am currently in the process of obtaining my Child Development teachers permit. I am also a private tutor specializing in bilingual education and art. I have some experience with special needs children, more specifically autism and ADHD. My senses are sharp and reflexes quick. My background in art and design inspires me to find creative ways to teach and interact with children. I love children’s curious nature to never stop learning and strive to be like them in this way. I look forward to helping out with your little one/s!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
