If I sit for your family, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd rate me on my services to you. Hi! I’m a caring and dependable childcare provider with over 15 years of experience working with children from infancy through early elementary age. I’m currently studying Child Development and work on call as a substitute Teacher Assistant with children ages 0–5. I have a strong background in infant and toddler care and am comfortable with all parts of daily routines, including feedings, naps, diapering, potty training, and bedtime. I’ve cared for up to four children at once and enjoy supporting sibling relationships in a calm, positive way. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and supported. I aim to create a fun, nurturing environment while also following family routines and expectations closely. I’m reliable, patient, and communicative, and I love helping parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
Hi! My name is Miesha, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. I truly enjoy working with children and getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routine. Over the years, I’ve worked with many different families, and one thing I’ve learned is that every child and every household is different. I’m available for date nights, occasional care, overnight care, hotel and travel care, amusement park care, special events, and families who may need care outside of a traditional schedule. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple children at once. I’m CPR, First Aid, and AED certified for infants, children, and adults, as well as TrustLine registered. Safety is very important to me, and I want parents to be able to leave knowing their children are in good hands. When I’m caring for children, I like to actually interact with them rather than just supervise. Depending on their age and interests, that might mean playing games, going outside, doing arts and crafts, reading, baking, watching a movie together, helping with homework, or simply listening while they tell me about all the things they’re currently excited about. 😊 I’m also happy to help with meals, bedtime routines, and keeping things tidy while the children are in my care. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality & Tourism Management with a minor in Business Administration from San Francisco State University. My professional background also includes working in childcare staffing, where I’ve trained nannies and helped match caregivers with families based on their individual childcare needs. I know inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your children is a big deal. I’m respectful of each family’s routines, household rules, parenting preferences, and expectations. I’m dependable, communicative, and flexible, and I always want both the parents and children I work with to feel comfortable with me. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and baking, sports, traveling, spending time outdoors, going to amusement parks, and exploring new places. Whether you need a sitter for a date night, work, an event, vacation, hotel stay, overnight care, or just some time to yourself, I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family!
Hi, I was born and raised in Honolulu. I attended La Pietra Hawaii School for Girls at Diamond Head from 6th grade to 12th. I graduated with my BS in Global Media from The New School in NYC May 2021. I graduated with my Masters in Liberal & Media Studies, May 2022 from The New School of Social Research. I grew up with a houseful of pets! I am Red Cross certified in pediatric first aid, CPR, AED and child care training. I have a fully clear background check. I love children and they love me! I have a car and can transport children as needed - with mileage reimbursement in addition to my hourly rate, or I can drive the family car. I do not have a car seat. I am looking for occasional daytime and/or weeknight sitting. Contact me if you think I would be a good fit for your family! Chase
“Chase is terrific! Our son took to her right away, and when she left he told us "we really really had a lot of fun". Chase was punctual, smart, friendly and of course, great with kids :). Look forward to working ith her again!”
Hi, and thanks for stopping by! I have many years of experience working with high-net-worth and high-profile families in Los Angeles. I’m TrustLine registered and have been thoroughly vetted by some of LA’s top nanny agencies. I currently work as a full-time, rotational live-in nanny in Montecito on a three-weeks-on, three-weeks-off schedule. During my off weeks, I’m happy to support local families needing occasional help. My schedule is guaranteed through the end of the year. I look forward to connecting! (My rate is flexible depending on your location and number of children—feel free to message me to discuss.)
**Available to work Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's** I have my Master's in Speech, Language, and Hearing. I have been working with children for 16+ years starting with my brother and sister.

“Rifka did great with our son! She seemed very comfortable with his age (9 months old) and was very interactive with him. She followed our simple bedtime routine instructions and was able to get him to sleep. She kept us updated and did not hesitate to call if she had any questions.”

"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
